Coggles team make what is a terrible time in ones life so much easier. Professional but so kind. Sam was our first contact, dealing with taking my father away. She was wonderful.  Kim dealt with everything else for us and was not only incredibly lovely but sorted everything out for us.  We can’t thank everyone enough both for looking after our loved one and us.

  • 5 Daniella Smalley 2nd Apr 2023

    We cannot simply thank AJ coggles in downham market enough, they were absolutely fantastic from the first meeting we had with Nikki, right up until the day of funeral led by Steve. The day of the funeral was perfect and everything we had asked for, I honestly cannot find the words to describe how amazing they are at what they do. They have shown nothing but kindness throughout and nothing was ever too much for them. We will be forever grateful to them for the care our family received.

    In every way the service provided by A. J. Coggles was tremendous. The friendship and kindliness was outstanding and they (especially Nikki) did everything possible to ensure that the whole situation was a easy as possible.

    It may sound strange, but the help and assistance made the whole funeral a glorious event and a wonderful lasting memorial to my late wife.

    Thank you so very much!

    At a very difficult time in my life with the loss of my dear wife I received an exceptional service from them. They handled everything with care, understanding, compassion and precision.  They handled the funeral superbly and went out of their way to make sure everything was ok. Thank you for all that you did.

  • 5 Samantha Matthews 6th Feb 2023

    In such a hard and difficult time the team at aj Coggles went above and beyond to ensure my mum and us as a family had everything we needed. It's a kindness I will never forget. They treated my mum with such dignity and respect and nothing was to much trouble for them. In such a strange way I will miss the team at aj Coggles as I truly felt they helped us so much throughout this difficult journey. There isn't the right words to give to such a kind and wonderful bunch of people.

    Nikki was very compassionate and took real good care of my mum in her final resting place.

  • 5 Celeste & Neema Nicholls 10th Jan 2023

    I cannot fault the support and service received during our time of loss. They took so much pressure away from us, knowing we were all going through a difficult time and most probably not thinking straight.

    Thank you all @ A.J Coggles, Downham Market. Brian William Nicholls (Dad) could not have had a better good bye.

  • 5 Kayla Yates 6th Jan 2023

    A.J. Coggles were amazing. Nikki and Kim from the Downham branch were fantastic.
    It was a really hard time of my life but they were sensitive to my needs and wants. 
    Within reason I was able to be involved with my sons care as much as I wanted, this really helped me deal with losing him. 
    Nothing was too much trouble. 
    Hopefully I won’t be using them for a while but if needed I will be and would 1000% recommend them. 
    Well done to the whole team, you aced my sons final day.
