  • At Wadhurst Castle we understand how difficult it is, and yet how important, to make arrangements to mark the passing of a loved one. Whether you are planning a funeral and are looking for an alternative venue to a crematorium or funeral chapel, or you are arranging a wake or a memory sharing tea to celebrate a life, we can support you through the planning and be there at the event to ensure that it all goes smoothly. We welcome wakes and memorial gatherings after funerals that have taken place at one of the many churches and chapels local to Wadhurst and the Kent and Sussex Crematorium at Tunbridge Wells, as well as Humanist and alternative celebrations of life in the Carriage Barn itself.
