The history behind our building: First look

,

In the modern world, you expect that every little piece of information on the web. This, however, isn’t true as I found out today.  I have started working on looking into the history behind our building. This has proven to be quite a challenge as looking for the historical archives online isn’t easy. I decided to get in contact with the local library and the local council because they may be able to tell me where I could look and whether or not they had any information.

The websites I visited did warn me that it could take up to 10 working days for someone to reply to me so as soon as I have heard back from them I will be able to tell you more.

I hope that the history of the building is as good as I expect it to be considering the architecture of the building and the stories people have told us when passing by.

Updates to follow!

Lilac & Dill

We work with a local florist based in Ledbury who creates beautiful funeral tributes such as posies, wreaths and sprays especially for woodland and natural settings.

Flowers from Lilac and Dill are picked from an organic holding in Herefordshire, where the flowers have grown naturally without the use of pesticides and fertilisers.

The tributes are created from the best of what is currently in season, giving a fresh and wild countryside look.

Sharon and Sonia can work through us or directly with families to create a bespoke funeral tribute. Their care and attention to detail assists in adding a personal touch to each individual arrangement.

To see more of the wonderful tributes Lilac and Dill can create please follow the link below to view their gallery.

An Apprenticeship with Andrew Phillips Funeral Services

Becoming an apprentice in the funeral industry wasn't something I ever planned on doing. I have always wondered what went on behind the scenes, but that was about it for me. I began working for Andrew Phillips in June of this year, and I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about all aspects of the business. I have become more confident in my work and in myself as I am being pushed out of my comfort zone a little at a time, which is helping me to grow as a trainee funeral director.

The apprenticeship so far has helped me to improve skills I already had such as using the computer and organising my work, and I am also discovering new skills. I wish to continue learning new things and developing new skills and I hope that down the road I will have a fulfilling career as a funeral director.
