At this time of year, I am often asked whether funerals take place before Christmas or the New Year. The answer is yes. Each family’s wishes are different; some choose to wait until the New Year, while others feel it is right to gather after Christmas but before the year draws to a close. Whatever the timing, our role is to walk alongside families and ease the process in any way we can.

Today, on this quiet and chilly Monday afternoon, it is a privilege to guide a dearly loved mother and grandmother, aged 96, as she is laid to rest, marking the end of a life well lived and deeply cherished.

We know how hard things can be for so many people, especially at this time of year.
As funeral directors, caring for our community is at the heart of what we do, and this Christmas we wanted to offer a little helping hand.

We have created 10 essential Christmas packages to help make things a little easier. Each bag includes milk, eggs, bread, butter, chicken, plus a bag of chocolates and sweets for the children.

If this would help you or your family, please feel free to send us a private message to arrange collection of a bag. Our office is open until 5pm today, after 5pm the bags will be left outside in the porch so they can be collected in your own time and privacy, thank you.

With love and kindness this Christmas

Last night, we were honoured to host our annual Christmas Memorial Service at Mickleover Methodist Church From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to attend. Together, we shared a truly meaningful evening singing carols, lighting candles, and holding a Roll of Honour to remember those we have had the privilege to care for.

My sincere thanks go to Reverend Tracey for leading the service with such compassion, Lisa Bonito reading a beautiful poem and to Ray and Annie for their wonderful help and support and finally Thomas for singing White Christmas incredibly well.

Seeing so many families I have had the honour of supporting and guiding during some of their most difficult moments truly reminds me why I do this. Opening my own funeral home remains, without doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Thank you once again for your continued trust and support, it means more than words can say.

The power of social media truly is remarkable.

To still see families I have had the honour of caring for continue to use the Letters to Heaven post box fills my heart with so much love. Equally, to be trusted by families who have not used our services, yet feel comfortable coming into our funeral home to leave a letter, is incredibly special.

The Letters to Heaven post box is available 24/7, and your time and privacy will always be respected, we will never interfere with your moments of reflection. We hope that this small gesture continues to bring comfort now and for many years to come.

Fellows Friday Fact - Did you know?

Sometimes families bring us their loved one’s favourite perfume or aftershave for visits in the Chapel of Rest. But here at Fellows, we like to go just a little further.
Whenever possible, we keep that special fragrance safe until the day of the funeral.

Just before leaving our funeral home, we gently spray the flowers with it. So when we arrive at the family home and open the hearse, that familiar scent fills the air, a small but meaningful moment of warmth, comfort, and connection.

It’s our way of helping families feel close to their loved one, even in the hardest moments.

Fellows Friday Fact - Did you know?

We pride ourselves on making every funeral personal to each family. We do this through tiny little details on the coffin nameplate, whether their loved one loved animals, had a favourite sports team, hobbies, or anything else that can make that final goodbye a little easier.

This morning we had the honour of caring for and supporting a Sikh family as they laid to rest a much-loved mother, grandmother, and a loving friend to so many. It was a truly humbling privilege to be trusted at such an important and emotional time.

When we are entrusted to care for families from different faiths, we believe that understanding and respecting those beliefs is absolutely essential. In the Sikh faith, covering the head is a sign of respect for God and the Gurus. So out of respect, we also cover our heads. It is a small but meaningful way for us to show our care, understanding, and dignity at all times.

As we welcome the start of the final month of 2025 and begin the run-up to Christmas, we know this time of year can feel incredibly heavy for families living with loss. That first Christmas without a loved one is never easy, and the season never feels quite the same again.

Here at Fellows, we want to offer a little comfort in whatever way feels right for you. When we introduced our Letters to Heaven post box last year, it was truly touching to see how many people found solace in writing to their loved ones, not only at Christmas, but throughout the whole year.

If you wish to write a letter, please know you are always welcome to do so. We’ve created a calm, gentle space with some soft Christmas lights for you your family to enjoy.

Thank you.
