All of those taking care of us during my dad’s funeral were so kind patient and supportive, nothing was too much for them. They gave wise  advice and council and we so much appreciate their care and attention for my dad. Special thanks go to Emma and Linda

Emma and her colleagues did a wonderful job for me, letting me get on with organising the funeral as I wanted it but with subtle hints here and there to make it flow. They suggested I use Jill Yaxley as Celebrant and she too was wonderful. So helpful in making it all flow. Nothing was too much trouble and all went very well. I wanted family as pall-bearers and the Coppings team helped us get it right unobtrusively. ........................Thank you Coppings.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Copping Family Funeral Service.  

    During the most challenging of times our family received an extremely kind and compassionate service; nothing was too much trouble and every detail was taken care of with gentleness and thoughtfulness.  

    Every member of staff has been wonderful, in particular Emma who worked so sensitively with us to ensure a perfectly executed funeral.  I cannot thank them enough.

    Emma was so friendly , efficient, professional, and we could not have asked for any more from her, and we thank her very much. 

  • 5 Garry Whiting 12th Apr 2024

    We are all very grateful for the way Copping Family Funeral Services guided us through the process of arranging and preparing for Dad’s funeral. From the first telephone call to their team on the morning of Dad’s death, the transfer of his body to the chapel, our initial meeting, the exchanges and telephone contact that followed and of course the arrangements on the day itself.

    Nothing was too much. I know its their day to day business and it would be very easy for staff to say ‘its what we do’ but we were made to feel that they were just dealing with us and again nothing was too much. Emma Stork explained everything in a clear and straightforward way with empathy and understanding at every turn.

    Since the funeral, many of those present have commented on the service, referring to how suitable it was to Dad and how ‘it was so him’. Mum herself feels that it was just right for him, with a balance of memories, reflections and the songs that reminded us all of him. Coppings played their part in ensuring that was so.

    I would like to thank Emma particularly for the very professional and indeed empathetic way, she supported us with the funeral arrangements and I would like you to pass our sincere thanks on to all the team. We will remember the part Coppings played in this, making our farewell to Dad exactly as both he and we wished for.
