Please Sponsor Kingfisher's SkyDive

Andrew Hickson, director of Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services will be taking the plunge quite literally on Saturday 18th June 2011 when he hopes to complete a SkyDive in aid of two local good causes.

He expects to 'exit' the aeroplane at between 12 and 14,000 feet, free-fall for about 25 seconds, then open a parachute to bring him safely back to terra firma.

The SkyDive is being made to raise funds for St John's Hospice, Moggerhanger and the Little Paxton Church for Tomorrow Appeal.

If you would like to sponsor the event, please contact Andrew on (01480) 471001 during office hours, by e-mail at any time at info@kingfisherfunerals.co.uk or by filling in the online sponsor form here.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services are proud to have been recognised as part of The Best of St Neots, trusted and recommended local businesses in the town.

Our reputation as a caring, professional and unique company in the town is growing, because we are locally-owned, fully independent, not part of any chain, and therefore able to devote all our time to providing exceptional and personal service.

The PlungerTaker!*

Saturday 18th June is the day that I shall quietly make my way into an aeroplane and climb to about 12000 feet. Then, with no fear whatsoever, I shall exit the aircraft through a door on the side, strapped to someone who has done it before, and hope very much that the parachute opens. But not immediately. 30 seconds of freefall comes first, during which speeds of 140mph should be reached in a downward direction, and then the parachute should open to slow us down and bring us safely back to terra firma.

So, I'm looking for sponsorship please. All, and I mean all of the proceeds (I'm funding this myself) will be divided between St John's Hospice, Moggerhanger and the Little Paxton Church for Tomorrow Project. St John's Hospice is the local palliative care provider for the region, and is well known for the wonderful care its staff provide to both patients and their relatives. The Church for Tomorrow Project aims to raise £350,000 to refurbish St James' Church, its bells, clock, pews and vestry area so that the Church can appeal to a wider community of all ages.

To sponsor me, please either call me during office hours on (01480) 471001, e-mail me at info@kingfisherfunerals.co.uk, or fill in the online sponsor form which allows you to state whether you wish and are able to Gift Aid your donation.

We can really make a difference here, so thank you in advance for your generous donations.

Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services are proud to support local charities and appeals. We are the only locally-owned and fully independent Funeral Directors in St Neots.


*Thanks for Charles Cowling for his excellent use of words, which far exceeds my previous humble offering.

Kingfisher Dives for Charities

It's booked! In June I will jump out of an aeroplane to benefit St John's Hospice, Moggerhanger, and the Little Paxton Church for Tomorrow Appeal.

More details to follow early next week ... after I've had the weekend to consider what I've let myself in for.

Three More Testimonials!

Last Thursday I expressed surprise and appreciation at receiving two testimonials on one day. Maybe it's the long weekend that's helped spread things out, but this morning, three more testimonials have arrived in the post. Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services continues to grow its reputation within the community of St Neots.

"Just a quick note to say Thank You for ensuring that our mother's funeral went according to plan, and for recommending the vicar who was perfect"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for arranging the ceremony and interpreting our requirements perfectly."

"We would like to thank you very much indeed for your very great help and kindness to us at the time of the death of our father. We were very conscious of the dignity and respect accorded to him and to us throughout. Everything went well on the day, and we could not have asked for more. With our warmest thanks to you for helping us through this sad time."

Two New Testimonials in One Day

Anyone who has ever received a glowing testimonial will know just how good it makes them feel. So imagine how my emotions are this morning, when I've received not one, but two!

They are both from people whom Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services have helped to renovate memorials in local Churchyards.

The first reads "I must congratulate you on an excellent job, it really does look a treat. I will have no hesitation in recommending you and your services to family and friends. Once again, thank you for all you have done."

And the second "The grave looks just like new. It will now be a welcoming sight to anyone attending or visiting the church. Thanks for all you have done, it is greatly appreciated."
