⭐️ Feel Good Friday ⭐️

I’m truly grateful for the incredibly heartfelt cards, thoughtful gifts, and kind reviews I’ve received. Moments like these remind me just how much the care we give means to families at such an important time.

It is an absolute privilege to support the wonderful people of Mickleover and the surrounding areas, and I feel very lucky to be able to do what I love every day, caring for people when they need it most.

Our care for you never ends

Today, we had the privilege of being part of an ashes interment at All Saints Church for a dearly loved husband, dad, and grandad.

The family touched our hearts when they asked us to attend, saying, “You’ve been on this journey from the start”

It’s moments like these that remind us that our role is not just to arrange a funeral, but to walk alongside you, offering support, compassion, and continuity of care, every step of the way.

As August ends and September begins, I just want to take a moment to pause and reflect over what we have achieved this past month.

Here at Fellows, it’s an incredible honour to be trusted to help families when they need us most. Whether it’s a simple, low-key farewell, a church service, a burial, a horse-drawn cortege, or a ceremony honouring different cultures and traditions, every goodbye is unique, and every family’s trust means the world to us.

From our family to yours, thank you to our wonderful community for allowing us to walk alongside you during life’s most difficult moments. Your trust is never taken for granted.

Yesterday, we had the honour of guiding a special lady on her final journey with elegance and dignity. The beautiful white horses and carriage with Jamaican drapes reflected her heritage perfectly.

a farewell as unique and meaningful as the life she lived.

Today, Matt and the team were deeply touched to receive two beautiful, heartfelt cards along with a thoughtful gift to share together. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do, it’s an honour to be trusted to care for families during their most difficult times.

From all of us here at Fellows, thank you for allowing us to be there when you need us most.

🩵 A touch of blue, Just for you 💙

Today, Fellows Funeral Directors had the honour of supporting a devoted family as they said farewell to a much-loved husband, dad, grandad and friend. A true gentleman and lifelong Leicester City supporter.

In his memory, Matt wore a blue tie and the family chose beautiful blue flowers, creating a fitting and seamless tribute.

The service in the Nottingham Cemetery Chapel, followed by a sunlit burial, was a moment of warmth, love and remembrance.

May he rest in peace, and may his memory live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

We take great pride in our appearance, ensuring our standards are always the very best. Early this morning, we received a call from a family entrusting us with the care of their loved one who had sadly passed away.

As we travelled along the quiet, dusty Ashbourne country roads, we reflected on the importance of the work we do. On returning, our first task of the morning was to make our fleet immaculate once again, ready for when the next family may need our help, care and support.

We are deeply honoured to share that we have been named one of the final 4 finalists for the Most Promising Newcomer award.

Today, our Jaguar XJ glistened in the warm Derbyshire sun as we gathered at St Peter’s Church, Chellaston, for a deeply moving service.

Surrounded by love and memories, we laid to rest a much-loved husband, dad, and grandad a man who meant the world to so many. His legacy lives on in every heart he touched.

At Fellows Funeral Directors, we are committed to continuous learning and professional development for all our staff. Today, Stewart had the privilege of gaining first-hand insight into the craftsmanship behind our beautiful, bespoke coffins, thanks to Pete at J C Walwyn & Sons.

To see the process from start to finish — and to understand that every coffin is meticulously handmade — was truly inspiring. A heartfelt thank you to Pete for his time, knowledge, and dedication in guiding Stewart through each stage of production.

🥂 Feel good Friday 🍻

We received the most thoughtful gift from a wonderful family I recently had the privilege of supporting through the funeral of their loved one.

To be trusted with such a personal and emotional time is always an honour - but to then receive a kind and unexpected present in return left me lost for words.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your generosity, your kind words, and for allowing me to be part of such an important journey. It means more than you know.

Sending my warmest thoughts to you all. 🤍
