Douglas Mercer & Son Funeral Directors

Douglas Mercer & Son Funeral Directors have been part of St Leonards' community since 1897, founded by Douglas ‘Pop' Mercer.

Keith Martin joined the funeral home in 1969 when his uncle, Fred Pomphrey, brought him into the profession. Although Keith retired in 2010, his love for the business remains and he still arranges and conducts if requested today.

Our team will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange a unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. We also offer Choice Funeral Plans which enable you to record your personal wishes and pay towards your funeral in advance, which could provide peace of mind to you and your family. For more information on Choice Funeral Plans, speak to our friendly team or visit https://www.dcmercer.co.uk/prepaid-plans/

If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us, or arrange a home visit. We're also available 24 hours a day on the phone.
