Today, Andy and his team - Connor, Alan, Mark and Ken, had the honour of helping a family say goodbye to a loving Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, friend and a Chindits hero (a special operations unit of the British and Indian armies which saw action in 1943-1944 during the Burma Campaign of World War II) at The Edgar Newman Chapel, Warren Hill Crematorium, Kettering.
A beautiful Service, telling the life of Charles Harry Richards (Charlie), delivered by high ranking members of The British Army, family members and Humanist Celebrant, Kerry Tomblin.

On Wednesday 25th March our friend and colleague Scott, Funeral Director for Wellingborough will be running 20 miles in support of Kellys Heroes, 20 miles being the distance covering all four of the Dignity Funerals funeral homes on this side of the county.

Starting at John Drage Funeral Directors to Bruce Carter & Son Funeral Directors before departing Wellingborough (on foot) for H J Phillips & Son Funeral Directors in Kettering. Once he has refuelled on Jelly Babies & Lucozade he will then make his way out of Kettering and will head to us here at Phillips Funeral Service in Corby, his final stop.

Kelly's Heroes is a wonderful charity that is based in Wellingborough, the charity was set up in memory of Kelly Francesca Hewitt who sadly took her own life in December 2018 aged just 24.

The charity aims to break down the stigma surrounding mental health whilst also taking down the barriers that prevent people from talking about their struggles. Through the work they do, the conversations they have and the support they give Kelly's Heroes help prevent members of the very communities we live and work in from taking their own lives.

If you are able to help by sponsoring Scott that would be great, any and all donations will go to helping Kelly's Heroes continue the wonderful work they do.

Scott, alongside Jordan, Funeral Director for Ann Bonham & Son Funeral Directors run this last year and raised just shy of £2000 for the charity.

This Valentine's Day, we know it can be especially difficult for those missing someone they love. 💛
At Phillips Funeral Service, we are holding space in our hearts for every family remembering a special person today. Love does not end when someone is gone - it simply changes form.

We wanted to share a few gentle words for anyone who may need them:

Though you're not here to hold my hand,
Or share a quiet smile,
I feel your love around me still,
It lingers all the while.

On Valentine's Day I send my love,
Up to the skies above,
Forever in my heart you stay,
My always, and my love.

If today feels heavy, please know you are not alone💛
Our doors - and our hearts - are always open.
