We would like to thank everyone at Coggles for there help when arranging our dads funeral. We felt lost as to know where to start. Nikki guided us through every part of it. Everything just seemed get done so smoothly and the day that we dreaded so much was perfect for our lovely dad. Not everyone could do this job but Nikki & Kim were lovely. Coggles certainly have picked the most caring staff. You really dont know how much you helped at a time when we so needed it. Thank you.
