A funeral parlour is to hold an open day to try to dispel some myths about the service.
R Jarvis in Cross-in-Hand, near Heathfield, has recently refurbished its Victorian premises.
The firm now wants to show off its new parlour.
On October 21, the family-run funeral parlour will open the doors to all aspects of its business.
Visitors will be able to see the arranging room, coffin display area, mortuary and refrigeration facilities.
The tour will also include a look at the firm's memorial gardens.
Funeral director David Hyland said: "Local residents have been watching our renovation work with interest and we can now invite them to inspect the facilities.
"We welcome them to ask openly about what we do here. It might help dispel some of the myths that abound."
