We could not have asked for better care for our Father following his passing. I would highly recommend R B Copping. They are attentive, compassionate and thoroughly professional. I would like to mention Joanne and Emma especially. Thank you both for all your care and thoughtfulness

Joanna Gibbons 11th Nov 2022

The care and support given to me at this difficult time was excellent, there was never too much to ask  for even coming to the rescue with usb stick as mine didn’t work. I am so pleased with how the whole process went and with a kind word just when it was needed. The service ran smoothly Thank-you so much 

Yvonne Kemp 11th Nov 2022

From the moment I made the first phone call to the final part of the burial service we could not have felt more supported by the whole team, especially Emma. Your kindness and consideration throughout was very gratefully received. Your support in helping us to have a fitting reminder to our lovely wife and Mum, in a very short timeframe, was exceptional. We cannot thank you enough.

    The Stone family send their grateful thanks to Emma from Coppings Funeral Services, who so expertly steered them through the whole funeral planning with great sensitivity and kindness.

  • 5 Nick Gilks 26th Oct 2022

    Our mother had already made plans for her own funeral, her choice of using R B Copping based on the professional and sensitive way in which they had dealt with a previous family bereavement. 

    Nothing prepares a person for the death of a loved one, when it happens it’s important to know that those involved in managing such a painful process can do so with compassion and an attention to the smallest detail to ensure any stress and additional upset is avoided.

    Emma and the team at Copping gently supported and coached us through preparing for the funeral. No call or question was unanswered, and on the day of the funeral the team quietly and discreetly worked diligently to ensure everything ran smoothly and was everything that Mum and the family had wanted.

    Emma Stork replied
    Dear Nick, thank you for such kind words regarding our services, we are all so pleased that everything went well. Best wishes to all the family, Emma and team x
  • 5 Jennifer Hyde 18th Oct 2022

    We as a family have nothing but praise for everyone at R. B. Copping Funeral Service. From our first meeting with Linda who asked all the right questions and gave us guidance on all aspects of the service that  they could provide for us.  Through to the actual day itself that went without a hitch and made it a really perfect way of celebrating our Mum’s life and sending her on her final journey. Every little detail was thought about and made so easy for us. We cannot thank them enough, and would recommend their services to anyone that needs them.
    From the Scott family. 

    Emma Stork replied
    Dear Jennifer, thank you very much for leaving such a lovely review of our services, it does mean so much to us all to receive such lovely comments. Kind Regards Emma

    Emma handled everything so well from the start . She made us feel comfortable on our initial meeting, and explained the choices that we needed to make. She kept us updated with everything, it took a lot of pressure of us. 
    The actual cremation went very well, again Emma and her team were brilliant.
    I would highly recommend this company.

  • 5 Glenis Gray 5th Jul 2022

    R. B. Copping Independent Family Funeral Service, Poringland provided an outstanding service from beginning to end. Emma demonstrated great empathy at a very difficult time for our family, ensuring that everything was organized according to our wishes but also providing advice where necessary. We were supported by Linda on the day of the service, who ensured that everything proceeded as we had requested. We cannot recommend the team at R.B Copping highly enough.
