  • 5 Jacqueline Rolfe 31st Mar 2025

    Very professional and sympathetic experience from start to finish. Nikki is lovely and very empathetic and the funeral team on the day we're all so respectful and professional.

  • 5 Patricia Roche 31st Mar 2025

    There's professional and there's vocational . Stacey and the whole A.J.Coggles team. Not forgetting to mention Stanton and the March crematorium. We needed a Saturday funeral......no problem.
    We lost our mother last April. Stacey was present at both funerals. Great appreciation also to Ferne, the lovely celebrant.
    All the people above showed genuine love and empathy.
    It's not just about professionalism, it's just who they are.
    Thank you again to Stacey, Stanton, Ferne and their teams.

    From the first meeting the staff at Coggles (in particular Nicky) were amazing. Helpful and knowledgeable but most of all compassionate and gentle.
    Thank you so much for making my Dads funeral go as well as it did.

  • 5 Marie Nicholls 31st Mar 2025

    Stacey, Nikki, David & team made a sad & emotional time so much easier to bear with their kind & caring guidance & nothing was too much trouble for them. They talked us through everything. Thank you doesn’t cover what they did for us as a family.

  • 5 Kenneth McKinnon 31st Mar 2025

    The people at A.J. Coggles were full of help, kindness and compassion at a very difficult time in my life and I will be forever grateful for the love they showed me. I cannot speak highly enough of those wonderful people and the service they provided.

  • 5 Robert Scrivener 25th Feb 2025

    Quite honestly the best company in West Norfolk, all staff went above and beyond to provide the most comforting experience during this devastating time. Staff that could manage to put a smile on your face when all you've done is cry. Greatful doesn't even cover it, nobody could have made this experience more comforting, of ease and beautiful. Our Pauline had the gorgeous celebration she deserved and we had the most amazing group of people to lean on during the process. Pauline was in the safest hands, it's hard to trust someone to take care of somebody so special at a time like this. I would trust them time and time again. We can't thank you all enough. Stacey, Nicky, Sam, Steve and everyone else. You're angels❤️

  • 5 Jenna Kniebe 24th Feb 2025

    Thank you to everyone at A J Coggles, you supported us during the worst time of our lives and really looked after our wonderful Mum. Reassured us throughout in the most gentle and professional way. A special thanks to Nikki, you are brilliant at what you do, so kind and thoughtful. Mum’s special day was exactly as she would have wanted. Perfectly organised down to every last detail. 
    With love, 
    The Kniebe Family

  • 5 Kathy Louro 8th Feb 2025

    Can highly recommend AJ coggles, kind, professional from the first call, helpful in everything asked, at a difficult time coggles helped us in every way. Thank you.. 

  • 5 Donna Hammond 8th Feb 2025

    From the very start, the gentleman who arrived to collect my dad were brilliant. Compassionate and supportive. Then Stacey at the Downham Market Branch, she was just amazing. Supportive, caring, went out of her way to make sure dad’s wishes became a reality. 
    Advice was given throughout and nothing was pushed onto us. If it wasn’t for Stacey I do not think we could have managed to organise a beautiful special day for dad. 
    Thank you again. Big hugs xx

  • 5 Patricia McCarron 8th Feb 2025

    Sadly both my husband and my youngest son have died recently. In both cases Coggles have put me at ease and treated me as a friend rather than a customer, I cannot fault their professionalism and care.
