Over the years we have always used Cowleys in Stony Stratford for funerals and been very happy with their professional, caring service. However, we were a little disappointed with several things for Lynne's funeral. From the start there were mistakes in communications eg. wrong dates for appointments, wrong address. Also had several problems in putting together the order of service. The funeral was a Co op funeral plan. We have not yet received a statement of how much was not used but paid for eg. Following limousine. Or receipts for some of the extras. The staff were very friendly and kind and the funeral itself went well.

    Katie was enormously helpful in making sure that the issue between the surgery and the coroner's office was sorted and in keeping us informed. I am hugely grateful for her support and communication throughout the process. I appreciated Sian's warmth and kindness when she called the day before the funeral to check arrangements and on the actual day.
