New civil funeral staff

STAFF to act as funeral celebrants for the Bexhill area have been trained up by East Sussex County Council.

John Senior and Della Blair (pictured), together with Elizabeth Paraskos can now offer a civil funeral service, working across Hastings, Bexhill, Rye and Rother.

A spokesperson for East Sussex County Council said: “Religious funerals may not be suitable for everyone and a civil funeral or remembrance ceremony offers a unique and sensitive alternative to a traditional funeral.
