Caring, thoughtful and efficient. Thank you.
Melville Holley 31st Jan 2026
AJ Coggles provided an excellent service that cannot be faulted, from our initial meeting, and two subsequent ones, they met every need with care and compassion. The benefit of a fifth-generation family firm really shines through and made a sad day so special, and a fitting send off. Our requirements were complex in terms of so many things, but David Coggles and the team didn't bat an eyelid, even when arrangements kept changing. They were a delight to work with and the best funeral directors I have ever dealt with. They were even willing to transfer to coffin onto a vintage bus (quite a challenge) for its final journey from the house to the nearby church. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
