This morning, on behalf of Bridgnorth Spartans, John and Luke attended the Remembrance event at Bridgnorth Castle Gardens alongside their Under 7s team who all did a fantastic job 🫡

A special moment for Luke to lay a wreath on behalf of the team and club 🇬🇧🔴🌑

Wonderful to see the town come together at an important time of remembrance, to remember those who gave their lives for our freedoms and for those who serve our Nation still today.

We will remember them. 🌺

Continuing our Remembrance reflections…
This week, we proudly acknowledge our colleague Douglas Read, who served in Northern Ireland in 1986.

Service, in all its forms, is about dedication, courage, and the quiet strength to put others before oneself. As we continue to mark this period of remembrance, we’re reminded that the values carried by those who have served: duty, respect, and compassion; are the very same we strive towards each day.

We thank Douglas, and all who have served, for their commitment to peace and their enduring example of service.

Lest we forget.

🌺 Lest We Forget 🌺

As we pause to remember this Remembrance weekend, we are reminded that every name, every medal, and every story represents a life of courage, sacrifice, and service - often by very young men and boys.

This week, we were deeply moved when a family we are currently caring for kindly presented us with treasured memorabilia from their family from both World Wars to put on display with our existing remembrance memorabilia. A poignant reminder of the generations who gave so much for the freedoms we hold today and for which we, here at Perry & Phillips, are grateful and thankful for.

𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 (𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟕–𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓)
Born in Wednesbury, Eric served in the Royal Navy from 1944 to 1946 aboard LSE 52, earning the War Medal. After his service, he became a skilled shopfitter, working for Marsh & Baxter, Mitchells & Butlers, Wimpey, Aramis, and National Milk Bars.

𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐛𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 (𝟏𝟖𝟗𝟓–𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟔)
Eric’s father, Horace, also from Wednesbury, served in the Royal Army Medical Corps (421171) during the First World War, seeing service across France and Germany from 1914 to 1920. He was awarded both the British War Medal and Victory Medal before returning to civilian life as a pattern maker at F.H. Lloyd.

Their stories, spanning two world wars and a century of history, remind us that remembrance is not only about the past, it is about carrying their values of duty, resilience, and humanity forward into the present and future.

We honour Eric and Horace Morgan, and all who have served, past and present.

Please feel free to visit during office hours to view this incredible memorabilia and history.

Thank you again to the family for entrusting us with such special and important items.

This week, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming our good friend, Louise Fenton, from Legacy Share to our team for her work experience.

During her week with us, Louise has gained a real insight into the profession; accompanying our team on funerals, sitting in on funeral arrangements, and being part of the day-to-day operations that make what we do possible.

It’s been a real pleasure to have her with us and to see her passion and professionalism shine through. 👏💙

Grief doesn’t come gently.
It doesn’t knock.
It simply shows up and nothing is ever quite the same.
Grief changes us, but that change doesn’t mean we’re broken. It means we’re human.
Let’s talk about it. Let’s understand it.
