  • 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.
