Here at Fellows Funeral Directors, we are incredibly proud to show our support and fly the flag for our nation as we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

We proudly display our flags and Remembrance Day tributes as a mark of respect for the brave men and women who served our country, and for those who never made it home.

Their courage, their sacrifice and their dedication will never be forgotten. We owe so much to those who gave their lives so that future generations could live in peace and freedom.

Today, and always, we remember them with pride, gratitude and the deepest respect.

When it comes to a funeral, we usually have music playing as we enter and leave the crematorium. But to honour Mary’s Scottish heritage the family wanted to do something a little different and extra special.

The wonderful Ed the Bagpiper played Flower of Scotland as we entered and Amazing Grace as we left, and there really is something so special about the sound of the bagpipes. It gives you goosebumps and made for such a moving and fitting farewell.

A big thank you to Mary’s daughter Leeza for creating such beautiful floral tributes, and with the Campbell tartan draped over Mary’s coffin, it was a lovely way to honour her Scottish roots and make the day even more personal.

When a family places their trust in you to care for their loved one, that trust means everything. And when their loved one has passed away in Wales,
you do everything in your power to make sure they still receive the care, compassion and dignity they deserve.

Today, that meant a seven-hour round trip, but to us, it was never a question of how far we had to travel. It was about being there for a family who needed us.

Whether it’s in Derby, the surrounding areas or further afield, we will always go the extra mile to make sure every family feels supported, every loved one is cared for with the utmost respect, and nobody feels they are too far away for us to help.

With so much in the news recently about direct cremations, I feel it’s important to share what makes choosing a local, independent funeral director so special.

This morning, we guided a loved one on their final journey. Although no family were in attendance, we still made it personal. Knowing he was a much-loved Rams supporter, we placed the Derby County badge with him, with Steve Bloomer watching over him on his final journey. ⚽🐏

It’s the little things that matter. Every person deserves dignity, respect and a farewell that reflects who they were, whether family are present or not.

All I ask is that, when considering a cremation, please think about using a local, independent funeral director who genuinely cares.

On Monday we had a private family service lasting just 10 minutes. ❤️

Although it was a small service, we treated it with exactly the same care, dignity and respect as any traditional funeral, with our hearse, full team and beautiful flowers.

Here at Fellows, it’s the little things that matter. After the service, we took the flowers back to the care home where the gentleman had lived, so his friends could enjoy them too and feel part of saying goodbye.

Because it’s never about the size of the service, but the life being remembered and the people left behind.

Tick, although I sadly never had the privilege of knowing you personally, having spoken with your wonderful family, I know just how much of a character you were and how deeply you were loved.

It was a true honour to accompany you on your final journey, with two beautiful black horses and a traditional black carriage supplied by the wonderland Elaine and Neil at Horse Drawn Occasions Ltd. A truly fitting farewell for someone who loved horses so dearly.

To see your main floral tribute beautifully created in the shape of a horse was another special touch, showing how the little personal details can make all the difference.

Thank you to your wonderful family for trusting us with your final farewell.

Rest peacefully, Tick. May the horses carry you on your onward journey.

Ian, where do I even start….

I still can’t quite believe I’m writing this. You were taken from us far too soon, and it’s difficult to put into words just how much you will be missed.

It was only at the beginning of this year that I sat down with you and talked through your funeral wishes. Never did I imagine that just months later, I would be the one entrusted with carrying them out.

On Friday, I had the honour of doing one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, giving you the final farewell you deserved. To have been trusted with that responsibility is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Ian, you created a legacy, and I know that everyone who loved you will make sure that legacy continues for many years to come. To see so many faces at your service, and to hear just how many lives you touched along the way, showed exactly how loved and respected you truly were.

Thank you for putting your trust in me, but more importantly, thank you for being a true friend. It was an absolute privilege to know you and an honour to be there for you on your final journey.

Rest peacefully, Ian. You will never be forgotten.

Forever our No. 9.

Rita and Bill, you were together for over 60 years, and only 10 days apart in this world.

To have had the honour and privilege of caring for you both and guiding you on your final journey together is something I will never forget.

Thank you to your wonderful family for trusting me to care for you both and for allowing me to walk alongside you during such a difficult time.

After 60 years together, it feels only right that you have now been reunited once again.

We may use the same vehicles and, ultimately, the same crematorium’s, but every family we care for is completely different.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the privilege of caring for families from different cultures, religions and backgrounds. Yet, despite all those differences, there is one thing they all have in common, the love they have for their loved ones and the importance of celebrating their life in a way that reflects what they believe in.

Every funeral is personal, and it is our privilege to walk alongside each family, listen to what matters to them and help them give their loved one the farewell they deserve.

To all of our families, thank you for allowing us the honour of caring for you and your loved ones. It truly means more than you know.

Yesterday, Josh, we had to say goodbye, but far too soon.

From the moment I met you to guiding you on your final journey, it has been an honour and a privilege to have been entrusted with caring for you.

To see so many people come to pay their respects yesterday just shows how loved you were and how many lives you touched.

Rest peacefully, Josh. You will be missed. 🖤
