Emma & Martin made me feel so comfortable with every part of the process, being part of every step from planning to being with Dad in his last car journey to placing him in his final resting place has been an experience I’ll never forgot, Emma has been so helpful and supportive even still to this day she has said I can come anytime to chat, they both made my journey though this unforgettable, it will be a memory I’ll hold forever, so I thank you both for letting me be free with everything we done for Dad on his day. Love to you both From Rebecca

    We cannot thank Emma, Martin & Joanne enough for everything they have done for us in such a difficult time in our lives. From the moment we contacted Coppings they were companionate and nothing was ever too much trouble. Their warmth towards our family was indescribable and their professionalism was outstanding. We would never hesitate recommending Coppings. We will never be able to thank you enough for caring for our dad! A truley amazing funeral directors who went above and beyond. Forever grateful.

    As this was my first experience of sorting out a funeral I found Emma very helpful and thoughtful with everything that we needed to organise for Auntie Pat’s funeral. Especially when it came to the order of service as I was quite particular on how I wanted it layed out. The other members of staff that I spoke with were helpful to. I was recommended by a family friend to go through Coppings and I to would recommend them myself. Thank you for everything.

    I would like to thank Emma, and all of her staff, at R B Copping funeral service of Poringland, for the sincerity, and compassion they showed through a very difficult time. It's tough losing someone close to you. And it seems daunting to arrange a funeral for the first time with your emotions all over the place. But Emma, made it easier, almost taking all of the burden away. I can't praise her and her team enough.Rob Channell, Poringland.
