Last month we experienced an incident where a group of school aged children decided to stand on a footbridge and throw stones/rocks at passing vehicles including our Hearse.

This incident damaged our vehicle as it made it's way to the crematorium for a funeral.

We have, in recent weeks also experienced an increasing number of road users who are either unware of how to negotiate a funeral cortege or simply just ignore tradition and etiquette.

With the above in mind please do consider following these tips moving forward.

We of course appreciate the fact we move slower than other road users but we implore you to please show some empathy and understanding as we es**rt families and their loved ones on what will be their final journey.

Earlier this week our Funeral Director Scott was in attendance at the stunning St Mary Magdalene Church in Geddington as he helped a family inter the ashes of their much loved Daughter.

Victoria of Phillips Funeral Service in Corby made the arrangements and, as always she did a wondeful job in ensuring that the 'little things' were taken care of.

This Thursday we will be hosting an open day here at John Drage Funeral Directors.

Our Funeral Home will be open between 10:00 and 14:00 during which time we invite members of our local community to pop in for a cuppa, a chat and, should you wish a tour too.

The open day is designed to give people the opportunity to dispell any myths they may have with regards to funerals, to discuss funeral plans, tour our facilities and to meet with one of our fantastic local celebrants.

We hope to see you in attendance.

Scott, Sam and Carol.

Earlier in the week we were invited to Franklin's Gardens to meet with the team at Northampton Saints and Sporting Legacies.

Yesterday our Funeral Director Scott popped across town and joined Saints fans and members of the local community as Jim and Simon (Sporting Legacies) presented 'The Northampton Saints - Memorial Wall'.

The memorial wall will afford fans the opportunity for their ashes to be interred at the stadium, the place that for many they class as 'home'.

If you would like more information regarding this exciting new opportunity then please get in touch with Sam or Carol on 01933 222 492

Last week our Funeral Director Scott was joined by Alan, Connor, Craig and Mark as the team looked after a lovely family for Phillips Funeral Service in Corby.

The service was held at the stunning Great Glen Crematorium and Natural Burial Ground and Angela Darlow was our celebrant whp delivered a beautiful service that perfectly encapsulated the life of a much loved and hugely respected lady.

Victoria Marion did a wonderful job looking after the family, she even arranged for it to be sunny too, above and beyond 🙌🏻

Yesterday our Funeral Director Scott was joined by Abbi, Alan, Connor, Craig and Dan as they helped a lovely family say goodbye to a truly remarkable woman.

Sarah aka 'Gibbo' was a wonderful Mum, a treasured friend, valued colleague and at her very core, a Mod!

With music from Dobie Gray, Tobi Legend and Dean Parrish, a wonderful (and touching) visual tribute and outriders from the Northamptonshire Vespa & Lambretta Scooter Club the service perfectly reflected Sarah, her infectious personality and lust for life.

Katrina Arnold Celebrant was our celebrant and lead a beautiful service that was full of love, joy, memories, smiles and laughter. A service that Sam one of our Funeral Service Specialists has worked so diligently on this past week.

The Mod Girl's Final Ride

'Park up the Lambretta, clean the chrome,
Your final ride has brought you home.
With helmet on and headlamp bright,
You've ridden off into the light.
No more bikes to fix or change,
No more roads for you to range.
But in our hearts you'll always be,
A stylish sould, forever riding free.'

Yesterday, under clear blue skies and a sun kissed Nene Valley Crematorium we helped a lovely family to navigate what was a beautiful 'goodbye' to a much loved lady.

Kate Reneerkens was on hand as our celebrant and, as she always does lead a simply stunning service that perfectly encapsulated a life well lived.

Our Funeral Director Scott was joined by Connor, Alan, Craig and Ken and together the team perfectly executed the arrangements that Sam had made with the family.
