Janice Phillips

Office Administrator

I was born and raised in Weyburn, SK and have lived here most of my life except when I relocated to Alberta before returning back to Weyburn to raise my family. I worked at the Zion Lutheran Church for almost ten years before I was employed at RD Family Funeral Chapel in 2014.

Recently, I just celebrated my ten years at RD Family Funeral Chapel. Over those years, my own children have grown and my partner, Darcy and I, are now grandparents to four awesome grandchildren. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my dad, John Whitell, who is presently living at Tatagwa in Weyburn.

I look forward to the future at RD Family Funeral Chapel with our new managing owner, Tamara Seghers; licensed funeral director, Lindsay Fellinger and our super fantastic team of part-timers! We are forever grateful for the trust you place in us and are honored to be here to help on your difficult journey with grief.

Allan Seghers

Funeral Attendant

I’ve been happily  married for 45 years and together we had 3 sons and 7 grandchildren.

I retired from the  Saskatchewan government after 35 years of service. I worked another 5 years for various companies and engineering firms around the southern part of the province doing such things as hot shotting in the oil patch during the boom years and working on the clean coal project at Boundary Dam as well as various other projects.  In 2012 our youngest son and his friend were killed in a vehicle accident at which time I retired again and Kathy and I began camping again as that was something we always enjoyed when raising our family, we now have a seasonal site at Nickel Lake.

Almost 3 year ago I got involved in the funeral industry as I felt I could always lend an ear after being through the worst and having a daughter-in-law in the business may have persuaded me as well.
