Your funeral guide and support

We are here to guide and support you through all things at the end of life. We offer knowledge and expertise and firmly believe that a funeral director should enable you to choose a funeral that truly reflects the life, personality, spirituality and culture of the individual that has died.

We are here
for you

From a simple, traditional service to a modern celebration of a life well lived, we are dedicated to making it perfect with our personal and friendly service.

How we can help

The early stages of arranging a funeral can be confusing and overwhelming. We will be able to advise you on; Registration and completion of statutory paperwork. Bringing the person who has died into our care. Arranging the funeral, (time and date, place of service, music and coffin choices). Coming to our Chapels of Rest. A reception for after the service. And many other things.

We will also be able to provide access to any legal service you may require and can even organise house clearance.

Our Promise

Give you the information and guidance you need about everything from how to register the death to planning the funeral you want.

Help you to reflect on the life of the person who has died and enable you to create some positive memories to support you at a time when people can often feel sad and alone.

Support services

You are our priority and we are always here when you need us.

It is our job to convey the possibilities to the families that we serve, both so that we can ensure that they are getting a service that they appreciate and will help them heal, and so that we can open up service options that actually provide value.

From a simple, traditional service to a modern celebration of a life well lived, we are dedicated to making it perfect with our personal and friendly service. We will never tell you how things “should be done” but will support you to understand and consider your choices, so that you can decide what is right for you and your friends and family.

We used used Averil Phillips for my dads funeral last month. Jacky was great and arranged a personal route for my dads final journey which was faultless. Staff are all compassionate and respectful. I would both
Recommend and use their services again if circumstances required.

Warm thank you to the whole team at Averil Phillips (Kettering), especially Tim, Jacky, Averil. You all helped make a sad day as good and positive an experience as it could possibly be. Equally grateful to vicar Phil & Isham chapel. Warm and personal, a great send-off for Dad, thanks again

John

We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Averil Phillips. We received first class service. We were kept well informed in a warm, friendly manner and felt very much looked after. Losing our lovely, lovely dad was heartbreaking but Tim was nothing but kind and compassionate and with us every step.

There aren’t enough words to express how fantastic Averil Phillips have been for both of my grandparents funerals in the past 12 months. Their care and compassion knows no bounds, all whilst being incredibly professional. I cannot recommend them highly enough, thank you.

Michael

Everyone at Averil Phillips has been kind, caring and compassionate. Their professionalism is outstanding and their attention to detail sets them apart from everyone else. Throughout, we were cared for by Jacky. From helping us with dates, to making sure everything was perfect on the day for Dad.
