1 Year Anniversary

Well Last week we turned 1 and what a year it has been. We are thankful to all the people, tradesman, electricians, builders, plumbers, locksmiths that made transforming the old antiques center into a modern funeral home possible.  And to all our colleagues and they're hard work.

Also we are incredibly touched by the support of the local community and friends.

So as we look forward to our second year serving the Malvern community we would like to in turn thank all those families who have entrusted us with looking after their wishes.

 

Andrew, Lina and Avril on our 1 year anniversary.

Funeral Costs on the rise

There have been several news stories recently highlighting the cost of funerals rising by 80% from 2004 to 2014. Is this scaremongering or a real concern?

One thing is for sure is that the costs from suppliers and 3rd parties are rising with some Crematoriums having increased their charges by £150 in the last two years alone. This might not seem much but when you add up all of the 3rd parties smaller rises as well as supplier increases it all adds up meaning that the cost of dying is going up.

Pre-planning your funeral can one sure fast way of ensuring that you know the cost of your funeral as stating your wishes.

Our growing Garden

Our rockery

Our rockery

It's been a long time due for a blog, we have just been so busy! Our Garden is now growing in the warmer weather and by summer we hope for a full garden of rosemary, lavender and lot's of plants and insects. It really does give a great sense of warmth when you arrive at the funeral home.

We are coming up to our 1st years birthday soon and it has been an honour and privilege to have looked after so many families in the local and wider area in the last 10 months.

Afternoon tea at Andrew Phillips Funeral Services.

This afternoon Malvern Buffets provided us with a cream tea at the funeral home.  Alison really did us proud, not only was all the food served on bone china but it was also exquisite in taste. Each cake and sandwich made delicately by hand with nothing bought in. It reminds me that working with the right local businesses can go along way to enhancing the service that we provide and with Alison's standards this is completely in line with the service we like to provide in getting it right for clients. I have no hesitation in recommending Alison who owns Malvern Buffets for catering no matter what the occasion.

A caring one to one service

As a small family owned, independent funeral directors we are able to offer a caring one to one, bespoke service for families.

When you lose someone that you love there are many things which you have to do. This often leaves little time for looking after you own feelings and emotions.

We believe that thoughtfulness and kindness are paramount at all times but especially when you lose someone who is close to you. Tailoring a funeral to your individual needs can help you create a fitting send off which is right for you and your family.

Being able to listen to what is important for you are key skills which as funeral directors help us to look after your family in the right way. So whether you are looking for a natural burial or a traditional horse drawn funeral you have the confidence in us, as experienced funeral directors that we will be able to meet your every need.
