    When my aunt passed, I had no hesitation in asking A.J Coggles to take her into their care, having used their services previously.  All the staff are amazing and took care of all the arrangements for a really beautiful service to honour my aunts life.  It was perfect and everything that we had asked for.  Thank you A.J Coggles for your care of our family and my aunt. Nothing was too much trouble and you all made a really tough time, easier for us all.

    From start to finish all staff were so caring and helpful and gave support during an awful time.  The funeral itself was comforting with the attention given to all details by David Coggles and from their recommended Celibrant.  We were thrilled with their services.

  • 5 Julie Whitear 22nd Jul 2024

    From the time this company collected my dear mums body to the day of the funeral.. I was so supported … I was made to feel that my mum was so important… to them … they listen to my requests… advised with honest opinions… and deeply respected my mum … they cared so much about how my mum looked requesting recent  photographs so they ensure she looked her best … and I did decide to view her and was so overwhelmed as mum looked as if she was asleep… they even ensured she had her favourite  body crème on so I was greeted with a familiar comforting smell … I can not thank them enough for the support and professionalism they gave me and my dad … 

  • 5 Brian Whitehouse 26th Apr 2024

    The whole team at Coggle treated us really well during the whole process. It was made really easy by Lynne, who was very easy to talk to, and also explained the whole process very simply.
    They organised the whole funeral including the speaker, who spoke very well at the crematorium.
    It was a small family event, but the whole team made it very dignified and we would like to thank them for this.
