Emma at Rb Copping couldn’t be more sympathetic and understanding when it came to organising my late mothers funeral. She kept us informed and reassured us along each step of the way when it came to dealing with Mum‘s funeral and looking after her, nothing was ever too much trouble and made the whole process a lot easier when us as a family we’re going through such a tough time.  I couldn’t recommend Emma and her team more highly they provide an excellent service and exceeded our expectations. Thank you once again.

    My family and I were so please with the professional service provided by James and all the staff at R. B. Copping after the unexpected passing of my dear wife. Everything was handled in a caring and sympathetic way and nothing was to much trouble. The communication from James was excellent throughout the whole process. On the day of the funeral the organisation was impeccable and the staff were immaculate. I cannot thank the company enough for the excellent service provided on this sad occasion.

    I am so greatful to the staff at Coppings. 

    From my initial meeting with Emma which guided me through our options to a beautiful and fitting funeral service for my sister. 

    The team were approachable, supportive but also attentive to our needs and desires. They were happy to offer advice when asked and took the stress away from us all at such a difficult time.

    Their attention to detail and professionalism is testament to the service they offer. Thank you for making the final part of my sisters journey so special and complete.

    Emma and her team were very professional, helpful and compassionate in the way they managed my Mother's funeral. Their advice and assistance to the family when decisions were required was much appreciated.

  • 5 Sally Dyson 2nd Jun 2025

    We have used Copping's for a few family funerals now and have always been delighted with the service we have received. Emma is able to provide professional and sympathetic guidance/advice about choices of celebrant, music, venues etc but is also very adaptable and creative when a family request is a little unusual. Highly recommended!
