    Although arranging a funeral is always a sad job, dealing with Emma Copping and the team is always a pleasure.  Nothing is too much trouble and everything is possible. They are very pleasant and always very professional. On the two occasions we have employed them, we have been left with the happy feeling of a job well done and a suitable farewell arranged. Thank you Copping’s.

  • 5 Rebecca Frost 25th Sep 2018

    Emma & Martin made me feel so comfortable with every part of the process, being part of every step from planning to being with Dad in his last car journey to placing him in his final resting place has been an experience I’ll never forgot, Emma has been so helpful and supportive even still to this day she has said I can come anytime to chat, they both made my journey though this unforgettable, it will be a memory I’ll hold forever, so I thank you both for letting me be free with everything we done for Dad on his day.

    Love to you both

    From Rebecca

  • 5 Becky Golec 1st Aug 2018

    As this was my first experience of sorting out a funeral I found Emma very helpful and thoughtful with everything that we needed to organise for Auntie Pat’s funeral. Especially when it came to the order of service as I was quite particular on how I wanted it layed out. The other members of staff that I spoke with were helpful to. I was recommended by a family friend to go through Coppings and I to would recommend them myself. Thank you for everything. 

    Emma Stork replied
    Thank you very much for your kind words and review of our services.
