Jayne Terry 7th Jul 2025

Lara and her team made a difficult day easier to deal with.  Lara, listened carefully to the requests we made as a family and the process was dealt with empathy and dignity.  Thank you Lara.

Patrick Butler 26th May 2025

CC James Ltd is an excellent and highly professional company who supported our family in a most efficient,caring, and considerate manner . From initial contact until the final actions of the cremation their service was nothing short of outstanding. Sincere thanks to Lara and her team for a task well done.

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.

    Lara was amazing guiding us in arranging my husbands funeral, often I was very indecisive and she didn't mind at all and gave me time never in any rush, her empathy and compassion I have never seen the likes before, got us through an awful time. She truly cares about everyone, you're amazingly kind lara, thank you from all the lewis family. X margaret

    Totally professional but gave me great comfort in their style of grief management. I was treated like a real person suffering real pain. I can never thank Lara enough to the standard of help she gave me. In the mess of my depression. She was a shining light. I almost feel after the event that Lara and the team are almost friends for such a short period time.

    CC James are a fantastic company, extremely professionally and supporting of families wishes. Lara and her team have supported our family through two funerals within just 6 months of each-other, and have provided amazing service and support in having two very different but very professional funerals. The detail to attention has been incredible, and they’ve all showed nothing but compassion for us all. Very grateful for Lara guiding me through it all.

  • 5 Judith Morlidge 7th Jan 2025

    I can't thank Lara enough for making an upsetting and stressful time a lot easier for me. Not only was she sympathetic and friendly, she understood what I wanted for the service and went above and beyond to make sure that it was perfect. Gordon was very supportive at the crematorium, and at the interment of my father's ashes. They and the pallbearers are a credit to the business. Thank you all for everything that you did, it's greatly appreciated.

  • 5 Louis English 28th Nov 2024

    It's taken me a while to be able to pen something of substance in reply to the aid the staff at CC James provided in organising, preparing and curating the funeral for my mother Athene English.

    I honestly cannot thank or recommend this company enough.

    The day itself went seamlessly and the undertaking service provided was top notch, with the most beautifully crafted wild flower decorations to my mothers coffin.

    There were a lot of unknowns to me with this funeral, being the first time I have ever had to organise one.
    It was a daunting time, but the care, love and support both Lara and Gordon showed me has been unparalleled.

    At not time did I feel pressured or rushed on a decision. The processes were outlined clearly and many hours were given by both to be sure that my mothers final days on this earth were the most dignified she could have. They listened to all I had to say, and in all respects were a shoulder to lean on when I needed it the most.

    The service you have provided to both myself and my wider family is an invaluable one without a doubt.

    I honestly cannot thank you all enough for this.

    Love and light.

    Regards

    Louis English

  • 5 Ciaran O’Donnell 23rd Sep 2024

    I received such an amazing service from Lara and the team at C.C James. Having never organised a funeral before it was a daunting task. But they were there to help every step of the way and guided me not only with the service but any questions i had in general. Extremely friendly and down to earth people. The service for my mum was a beautiful tribute to her life.

  • 5 Graham Toye 20th Sep 2024

    The service provided by CC James was perfect. All of the staff I met and all those involved with my father's funeral were impeccable in every sense. Lara represented the team and the business in the most human and empathetic manner and was wonderful throughout the whole process. Professional, helpful, down to earth and so easy to talk to. I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for everything.
