Fantastic service and attention to detail also so helpful sorting the slide show and setting up a video link for those that couldn't attend. Thanks James and Emma
Samantha West 21st Sep 2026
Thank you for your kindness and support. The whole day went really smoothly and every one said it was the most uplifting funeral that they had been to.

Following the death of my mother, the family appreciated the consideration, flexibility and responsiveness demonstrated throughout by James Myers and the team at R B Copping. We were satisfied that my mother was well cared for, James and Emma responded very quickly to any changes as our plans evolved and the appointment of Cathy McNab as celebrant could not have been bettered. As a consequence, the service was exactly what we had hoped for and the funeral was conducted with great respect, dignity and professionalism. As a family we could not have asked for anything more.
