    On behalf of my family and myself I wish to express how delighted we were with the service we received from AJ Coggles. The level of discreet professionalism and attention to our specific requirements at a time of deep emotional turmoil was superb. I would particularly like to thank Kim who saw us through a very bleak time who went above and beyond our expectations to make sure everything was perfect. AJ Coggles deserve to be accredited amongst the very best of the best. Robert W.

    From our very first meeting with Kim everything was superb. Kim told us what we needed to know & what services they provided. We were kept informed at all times & updated when necessary. She suggested Helen Drake as the celebrant who again was wonderful. The day before the funeral were informed that Steve would be looking after us on the day, again couldn't have wished for better service. We would recommend Coggles 100%. Big thank you to Kim for her care & support at such a difficult time.

    Although difficult to contact at times by phone, emails were answered promptly (we understand that a move to fresh premisis will rectify this) All in all the process was handled in a caring and dignified manner and as a family we were well supported ......... Thank you David.
