    Emma & all the wonderful staff at Coppings were outstanding in the help, advice, kindness & compassion they showed in organising my mum’s funeral.

  • 5 Catherine Bowler 12th Sep 2019

    Emma and her team were absolutely brilliant. They were professional and caring throughout. It was the first funeral I had to arrange and sadly it was for my mum. Emma talked me through everything and answered my calls night and day. They were so respectful at the crematorium and bowed to mum's coffin. I cannot thank them enough.

    I am truly grateful for the excellent manner in which you had planned and carried out Doreen's funeral. It was of quality exactly as I had hoped for and the entire programme together with smart portrayal of crew eased the sadness of the occasion.

    Yours very sincerely,

  • 5 Andrew Atkinson 9th Mar 2019

    From first contact to completion of all funeral plans the services of R B Copping was first class. Emma Stork and the team were very supportive, understanding and not patronizingly overly sympathetic. Following the loss of my mother, Emma supported me completely through the emotional roller coaster that I was experiencing.

    Thank you.

  • 5 Heather Ware 8th Mar 2019

    Very attentive, everything ran extremely well. 

  • 5 Janet Harding 8th Mar 2019

    Everything was carried out perfectly and with great professionalism. The only thing we might have liked was a list of attendees at the Thanksgiving Service which followed the service at the crematorium.

  • 5 Lisa Clarke 5th Mar 2019

    Everything was taken care of in a friendly professional manner. All the stress was taken away on what was a difficult day. Emma was absolutely brilliant both on the day and when she met with the family beforehand. Thankyou to her and her team.

  • 5 Richard Bultitude 3rd Mar 2019

    Emma and Linda were so good in helping me through the difficult time of making the funeral arrangements and in carrying out their duties at the cremation and at the celebration later in the day at Colney Wood. They were calm and sensitive to the way we were feeling on that day and very efficient in dealing with the paperwork both before and after the funeral.

  • 5 Tim Ferguson 1st Mar 2019

    R.B Copping were truly excellent from the moment I called them on the morning my mother passed away, to the funeral itself. Emma Stork is as absolutely fabulous and dealt with every aspect of the process clearly and respectfully. I'd highly recommend R.B Copping.
