Val Gibson 1st Sep 2025

Professional and thoughtful service provided which made the process less stressful.  I was really touched by the respect shown for our mum throughout, and the time taken to explain us through all the steps even on the day. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic service from Gina, Mark, Stephen and their team. Make the family feel at ease at such a difficult time with their empathy and make sure there's no added pressure or stress with their attention to detail throughout organizing the funeral arrangements. Fantastic service and fantastic people, couldn't recommend them highly enough

    Wayne at the Newtownards Road branch looked after us and gave exceptional service. Most of the family live in various places around the UK now and did not have access to home computers but Wayne scanned a ton of photographs and documents for us so that we could have a video tribute for Hazel.
    We were kept informed as soon as the hospital, coroner, laying out, flowers etc were done and we were prioritised in any decisions needing to be made.
    I not sure that recommending a funeral director is the thing to do, but as tragedy is unavoidable then anyone faced with such a choice would have a hard time finding a better service than that offered by the East Belfast branch of McCosh, and Wayne in particular. Having said that, I hope I don't need to see him for a long time...for obvious reasons.

    Stephen McCosh handled my Mums funeral a number of years ago so I had no hesitation in going back to him for Dad's. From beginning to end everyone we dealt with were extremely respectful, courteous and professional, offering advice and guidance where needed. Following the initial meeting every arrangement we asked for was made for us, communication was fantastic, the day itself was seamless, we did not have to worry about a single element. The service we received made a difficult day so much easier. Thank you.
