Today our Funeral Director Scott and Funeral Service Specialists Sam and Carol are down at the Morrisons Supermarket in Wellingborough. They have been answering any and all questions with regards to funerals plans and end of life planning and will be here until 15:00.

If you are popping into town today then why not stop by and say Hi 👋🏻

We never underestimate the difficulty families face in the days and weeks that follow the passing of a loved one.

Feedback, like this really does highlight to us that despite the challenges, the emotion, the stress, the seemingly never ending to do lists and the sadness families face we do indeed make a difference to them at their time of greatest need.

Today our Funeral Director Scott helped a family say goodbye to a deeply loved lady, a wonderful Wife, a cherished Mother, a valued neighbour, respected friend, cornerstone of the community and a Royal Air Force veteran.

This funeral was arranged by our colleagues at W. Bailey & Son Funeral Directors in Cambridge but it was our team here who escorted Lynne on her final journey. We worked collaboratively to ensure this wonderful lady was given the send off both her and her family deserved.

Scott was joined by Abbi our FSO Team Leader and Diary Manager on The Hearse with Ken looking after the family in our Limousine. Daniel and Mark were on hand at Counties Crematorium to ensure the chapel was ready, mourners seated and to then form the second half of our bearing party.

Being a veteran himself Scott takes immense pride in being able to help the families of fellow veterans say goodbye.

This morning our Funeral Director Scott made his way over from Bruce Carter & Son and surprised our Funeral Service Specialists Sam and Carol with some flowers.

Sam and Carol have been the face of John Drage for a number of years now and work tirelessly to ensure the families they serve get only the highest levels of service.

Scott had this to say "Sam and Carol are in a word, FANTASTIC! 2025 was a year that presented a number of challenges across our area yet they never once shirked their responsibilities, complained or let things affect them or the service they offer our families. They work so hard both individually and collaboratively to ensure the families in their charge receive an exceptional level of service. Since returning to Dignity Funerals I have been unable to be as present as I would like at John Drage however, knowing that I have two meticulous, confident, competent, conscientious, empathetic, caring and professional members of the team in Sam and Carol really has been a blessing. So, for the fantastic work you have done during 2025 a big WELL DONE and THANK YOU from me"

As 2026 enters it's infancy we take a moment to pause, reflect and remember the families we have helped and the loved ones that they sadly lost during 2025.

Throughout the past year we have helped so many families say goodbye, families with different stories to tell, memories to share and each one with their own personal way of honouring the much loved, deeply treasured and sorely missed individual they have lost.

We struggle to find words that adequately express our gratitude and our thanks for entrusting us with the care of your loved ones. To be afforded the opportunity to help families when they are at their most vulnerable, most hurt and when they feel lost seeking reassurance and direction really is an honour and a privilege, It always has been and always will be.

For most of us Christmas Day starts with gifts under the tree, facetime calls with family and boxes of celebrations for breakfast.

As the day progresses households up and down the country then experience good food, terrible cracker jokes and the inevitable family fall outs over games of Charades or any one of a number of board games.

Whilst it's a time of celebration for many for others it is a very real reminder that there are loved ones no longer with them, family members they have lost this year or in years past.

A chair that was once occupied now sits empty. One less table setting is required, one fewer present given or received, one card missing from the mantlepiece and the warmth and joy that the sound of a loved ones voice, their laugh, their embrace brings is distinctly absent.

Today, if only for a brief moment we remember those families for which Christmas has always lost a bit of it's magic.
