  • 5 Geraldine Arndt 16th May 2023

    The service we received was excellent. From start to finish Kim held my hand. I really do not think I could have coped without her help, especially as I was still caring for my 89 year old mother at the same time.

    I have no hesitation in recommending Coggles to others.

    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.
