    The team at AJ Coggles are professional and compassionate. Nothing is too much trouble. They even found red and white ties to wear on the day to reflect my Dad's love of his football team. They guide you through every step and allow you time to make decisions. They keep in contact with you regularly. I would highly recommend them.

    Coggles have made the very sad time so much easier by simply being so professional and showing great compassion and empathy - it’s never easy to cope with loosing a loved one, but it helps when all the hard work is done for you.
    We as a family can’t thank Coggles (DM branch) enough.

    Nikki and Kim at the Downham Market branch were so kind, helpful polite and patient with me as I was constantly changing the plans for my step dad's funeral. On the actual funeral day, the drivers arrived at the meeting place for me to join the hearse at the time arranged and were polite and friendly and even came along with some family members so we could lay the wreath on my Mum's resting place. We didn't feel rushed into leaving the crematorium straight away after the service, time was no object. I would recommend A J Coggles to anyone.
