  • 5 David Newman 8th Nov 2025

    The service that A J Coggles provided for my dear friend Pauline was absolutely superb.
    Everything from the coffin to the flowers and to the refreshments for those attending was perfect.
    The use of the Chapel within Coggles's premises provided a personal and more intimate feeling for the service which one cannot experience in a crematorium or church.
    My opinion is that Coggles provide a service for a loved one's final earthly journey that could not be bettered by any other funeral service provider.
    With sincere thanks

  • 5 Christine Nadin-Hurley 11th Aug 2025

    I cannot fault the service we had from the team at Coggles. From the initial care shown in taking care of our loved one to the Funeral Service itself they were exemplary. They took care of everything for us at a difficult time and guided us through the decisions that we needed to make, including finding us the perfect celebrant. The Funeral went seamlessly and many of our guests commented that it was the best funeral they had ever attended. Thank you.

    The professionalism, kindness, humanity and attention to detail was outstanding on every level.
    Sarah, Claire and George helped us to navigate through this heartbreaking time with sensitivity and empathy beyond words. 
    We genuinely felt so well looked after and cared for as a family. 
    I felt so at peace that my farther was under their care also and everything went so smoothly and the teams communication was thoughtful and never felt rushed just perfect.
