  • 5 Kim Thompson 12th Sep 2025

    From the moment I picked up the phone to CCJames I felt like myself and my dear Mum were being taken care of.
    Gordon and Stephen were so respectful, kind and caring when they came to take Mum to the chapel of rest.
    Lara really listened when I
    talked to her about my Mum and how I wanted her funeral
    to be.
    Lara and her team supported me and my family throughout.
    I felt totally supported through
    such a difficult time.
    Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to my requested detail was second to none.
    I can't recommend or thank CCJames enough.
    Lara, Gordon, Stephen, Tony and the rest of the team are just what someone needs when your world has fallen apart.
    I honestly don't have the words to thank them enough , they were amazing.







    highly enough.

  • 5 Gareth Hughes 24th May 2025

    From the very first moment, Lara and the team showed such care, compassion and professionalism — exactly what we needed during one of the most difficult times of our lives. They gently guided us through every step, always listening, always understanding, and making sure we never felt alone in the process.


    Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and respect. Mum’s wishes were honoured fully, and we were able to give her the farewell she truly deserved. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal — just quietly efficient and full of kindness.


    We’ll always be grateful to Lara for her warmth and calm presence. She made a heartbreaking time feel just a little more bearable, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better support.

    Nuria Delgado-Colomo replied
