We, as a family have used R B Copping Funeral Services many times over several decades. They are so compassionate and professional in every way possible. We recently lost a loving husband, dad, grandad, family member and friend. They did a wonderful, respectful job from when he passed right up until his funeral respecting all our wishes. They made a very difficult time much easier. Many thanks go to all the team at R B Copping. Tracey

    Very kind caring and understanding at this difficult time. They ensured the final farewell to Mum although sad and emotional was a warm and respectful time. All communication  was made easier by their patience and professionalism.

    Emma and her colleagues did a wonderful job for me, letting me get on with organising the funeral as I wanted it but with subtle hints here and there to make it flow.
    They suggested I use Jill Yaxley as Celebrant and she too was wonderful.
    So helpful in making it all flow. Nothing was too much trouble and all went very well. I wanted family as pall-bearers and the Coppings team helped us get it right unobtrusively.


    ........................Thank you Coppings.
