Our First Blog Post

Phillip Funeral Homes • Nov 12, 2019

Our blog is designed to add to the narrative of our compassionate work by providing stories that are meaningful to local families and our community.

It may just seem like the thing to do, but we believe our new blog can add value to readers' lives if they choose to read our posts from time to time. Here's how:

Communicating News

News of someone's passing is not only a personal matter for family and friends, but also a public matter for the community that loses one of its citizens. People frequently read the obituary pages in the newspaper and online, and our blog is designed to be an extension for telling import stories so that we can acknowledge or remember those who have come before us.

Expressing Our Thoughts

Loss is difficult, but not always tragic. We think it's important to give voice to circumstances that enrich our lives and provide meaning. After all, some stories are inspiring. We are part of a family history, but we also share a common bond in our communities. We want to make sure that we reflect who we are, not just whom we've lost.

Being a Part of Our Community

We are part of the community and share rich connections to families and friends, businesses and colleagues. We also believe in civic duties and services that go well beyond our profession. We don't do it for recognition, but rather for the gratification of helping others and making our community stronger and better.

Managing Change

Nothing stays the same, and that's one more reason we've taken this step. We want to keep abreast of trends and provide insights into how people grieve and heal after losing a loved one. We think that we can provide credible advice for what's appropriate and fitting as customs and funeral services evolve.

Thanks for reading. We hope you'll stay in touch or follow us on Facebook. If we can provide any help at all, please don't hesitate to reach us.
