With Christmas just around the corner we are today launching our 2025 Christmas Gift Appeal In support of the Northamptonshire Children's Trust.

Northamptonshire Children's Trust help to support thousands of disadvantaged children and young people across the county.

This fantastic campaign led by Jeanette Walsh aka Mother Christmas used the donations they receive to ensure everybody they work with gets to open a brand-new present on Christmas Day.

In order to support Jeanette with her efforts we would be extremely grateful for donations of the following;

* Toiletries
* Gift Cards
* Make Up
* Toys
* Socks
* CD's
* Sweets & Chocolate

If you are able to help with a donation then please pop into the branch where Carol, Sam or Vee will be happy to help.

Thank you in advance from all of us here at John Drage Funeral Directors

This morning we helped a family say goodbye to a life long Manchester United fan, a Dad, a Brother, a Son, a Grandad, a friend and forever a red.

The service took place at Our Lady Of The Sacred Heart, a beautiful Catholic Church here in Wellingborough before a short graveside service at Doddington Road Cemetery.

" I was born to, be United,
Daddy told me when I was just a baby;
When I was five, I went down the Warwick Road;
Now I'm addicted to the only place I'll go

Take me home,
United Road,
To the place I belong,
To Old Trafford,
To see United,
Take me home, United Road

All my memories,
Bobby Charlton,
Georgie Best and Cantona,
They came to us from heaven;
And at the Nou Camp in 1999,
On Matt Busby's birthday,
Oh it was party time

Take me home,
United Road,
To the place I belong,
To Old Trafford,
To see United,
Take me home, United Road

I watch the Reds,
I feel the noise,
The crowd is roaring;
The Stretford End is singing
And the fans are going wild;
And when I'm gone I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday,
Yesterday, oh!

Take me home,
United Road,
To the place I belong,
To Old Trafford,
To see United,
Take me home, United Road"

Rest In Peace Mario 🙏

GGMU!

From Monday 1st December and throughout this festive period, there will be a special Memorial Christmas Tree in our reception.

The Memorial Christmas Tree gives family and friends an opportunity to remember and pay tribute to their loved ones who have passed away.

We have, in the last week or so sent letters with memorial stars out to all of the families we have looked after over the past 12 months.

If you feel it is appropriate for you and your family then we invite you to place your own personal tribute on our Memorial Christmas Tree.

If there are any other relatives or friends who’d like to place a star on our Christmas Tree then please either visit us or call the branch on 01933 222942 where Carol, Sam or Vee will be happy to assist you.

This past Thursday evening our Funeral Director Scott met with some of the staff and residents of Park House Wellingborough .

Scott was invited in to discuss funeral plans but, whilst there he also took the opportunity to dispel some myths surrounding the funeral industry and answer any questions regarding end of life planning and funerals in general.

Many meaningful conversations were had and Scott left with a whole list of ideas on how we as a funeral home can support Park House moving forward.

A lovely hour spent with lovely people 🙌🏻

This afternoon our Funeral Director Scott supported one of our Sister branches, Phillips Funeral Service in Corby.

Scott was joined by Connor, Craig, Mark and Nate, all of whom not only looked the part but also maintained fantastic levels of professionalism despite the far from ideal weather conditions.

As the service drew to a close Scott joined his good friend and today's celebrant Kate Reneerkens in leading a 120 strong congregation in the Macarena, a first for them both.

If you are able to spare a couple of hours on Saturday 29th November then please head down to our funeral home and assist our Funeral Director Scott, the Wellingborough Eco Group and The Wellingborough Wombles with our very first community litter pick.

Litter Pickers & Bags will be provided, as will light refreshments.

We look forward to meeting members of the very community we serve and, by working together cleaning the very streets we live and work on.

At 11:00 this morning our staff will stop to pause for a 2 minute silence.

This small symbolic gesture is our collective act of acknowledgement, show of respect and expression of deep gratitude to those brave men and women who sadly made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our country.

The thoughts of all of us at John Drage Funeral Directors are with the thousands of Men and Women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.

We also think of those animals who went to war and did not return as well as those Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Airwoman who returned but were never the same having seen and experienced the horrors of war.

Lest we forget 🙏🏻
