Averil Phillips & Family Independent Funeral Directors

Jacky and all the staff were wonderful; Id highly recommend Avril Phillips. From first contact, up to (and beyond) the funeral, they were supportive, caring and extremely professional.

Unfortunately I had to lay my wife to rest today and although I don't know how competitive there prices are, you couldn't wish for a more professional service. Everyone from Averill herself to the driver's displayed professionalism and courtesy all along the way. Along with Jane the celebrant, all worries were taken off my shoulders and it ran like a well oiled machine. I Obviously wish that it was a lot less somber occasion and there were plenty of tears along the way, but I would have no compunction to suggest this company to anyone going through this upheaval in their life. You don't want to plan the minutiae of a funeral, just give them the outline of what you require and they can fill in all the blanks and they come back to you with a map of how it could be run.

Both my family and I would just like to offer a huge Thank you to Wendy and her team in Oundle. From the passing of my father in late January to his Celebration of Life service held for close family and friends in early March at The Angel, Wendy offered professional and caring support to us all, and particularly to our Mother. Along with Wendys recommended Celebrant Deni they helped arrange for a funeral my father would have been exceptionally proud of. We chose to use The Angel facility for the family service, as opposed to the crematorium as it offered a much more relaxed and personal service, and was just perfect. Wendy also helped and attended a larger gathering of friends and associates at a more light-hearted celebration at the Talbot Hotel in Oundle afterwards. We cannot recommend Wendy and her team enough and thank them all.

The only funeral directors Id use! Has always been a funeral directors used by my family over the years. I hadnt personally used Averil Philips until my dad died five years ago. There was no doubt I wouldnt use them when my mum passed away in January this year. The care and compassion they show at one of the most difficult times is so heart warming. They showed the highest level of care and dignity to my dad and then my mum. I could not fault them. Nothing was ever too much. Always very professional and considerate. Jacky is a real asset to Averil Philips. Genuinely one of the nicest people you would ever meet and one of the most difficult times.
