Sadly let us down. Printed the Order of Service with no page 2 but page 3 appeared twice! We’d had no time to check it before the day.

A professional team who liaised sensitively with us at every stage making this sad time far easier to deal with. They went the extra mile to support a family member who was very anxious about attending the funeral. Everything went perfectly on the day. Thank you.

  • 5 Paul Berry 3rd Oct 2022

    Made my first experience of arranging a funeral really easy and relaxed. As an only child of my late father I had to do everything… however the funeral directors constantly checked how I was getting on, plus helping with the other major things of dads affairs I had to do… 5 star service 

  • 4 Ellen Hindle 30th Aug 2022

    We found everyone very helpful and profesional

  • 4 Larry King 30th Aug 2022

    Most of the arrangements were carried out in a most excellent and professional manner, particularly on the day of the funeral.  However some of the early administrative arrangements showed a lack of experience, record keeping and continuity which meant I had to correct some misunderstandings on order to ensure accuracy.   

  • 5 Lynn Stevenson 22nd Aug 2022

    Natalie, Katie and their team were lovely throughout. Keeping us updated and making sure we as a family were ok through such a difficult time. The funeral went off without a hitch and they did our Dad proud. Many thanks to you all.

  • 5 Deana Philpotts 23rd May 2022

    I cannot recommend J S Cowley highly enough. The staff were excellent and guided us through the funeral arrangements seamlessly. Katie listened to what we wanted and chose a wonderful celebrant for the service. She was the perfect choice. All the staff were fantastic and highly professional. We would like to give special thanks to funeral director Natalie who was made sure that everything went flawlessly on the day and was very supportive

  • 4 Christine Guest 17th May 2022

    All staff very kind. Special thanks to Natalie for stepping in at the last minute . It was a shame Anne wasnt back in Stony Stratford before the night before the funeral - as more people wanted to see her. Changes to the burial site etc. not advised until it was too late to question them. Other than that all good.

  • 4 Caroline Daniells 31st Mar 2022

    Pleased with arrangements & how we were dealt with. Katie & others were helpful & sympathetic with our wishes & were contacted with updates. Last minute panic regarding stand for picture but Katie resolved night before service. Please, please for others in future check how good the vicar is for simply reading a eulogy & for organising music in the church. I know this was down to the church not Cowleys but it's all part of the day & Cowleys putting me onto that vicar. I have regrets that I'm trying to move on from. Don't let someone else feel as I do.

  • 5 Tanya Lincoln 28th Mar 2022
