It's taken me a while to be able to pen something of substance in reply to the aid the staff at CC James provided in organising, preparing and curating the funeral for my mother Athene English. I honestly cannot thank or recommend this company enough. The day itself went seamlessly and the undertaking service provided was top notch, with the most beautifully crafted wild flower decorations to my mothers coffin. There were a lot of unknowns to me with this funeral, being the first time I have ever had to organise one. It was a daunting time, but the care, love and support both Lara and Gordon showed me has been unparalleled. At not time did I feel pressured or rushed on a decision. The processes were outlined clearly and many hours were given by both to be sure that my mothers final days on this earth were the most dignified she could have. They listened to all I had to say, and in all respects were a shoulder to lean on when I needed it the most. The service you have provided to both myself and my wider family is an invaluable one without a doubt. I honestly cannot thank you all enough for this. Love and light. Regards Louis English

    Could not have been looked after any better. Every assistance was offered to the family with compassion in our time of great sadness, 

  • 5 Ciaran O’Donnell 23rd Sep 2024

    I received such an amazing service from Lara and the team at C.C James. Having never organised a funeral before it was a daunting task. But they were there to help every step of the way and guided me not only with the service but any questions i had in general. Extremely friendly and down to earth people. The service for my mum was a beautiful tribute to her life.

  • 5 Graham Toye 20th Sep 2024

    The service provided by CC James was perfect. All of the staff I met and all those involved with my father's funeral were impeccable in every sense. Lara represented the team and the business in the most human and empathetic manner and was wonderful throughout the whole process. Professional, helpful, down to earth and so easy to talk to. I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for everything.

  • 5 Claudia Smith 3rd Jun 2024

    Such compassion and professionalism evey step of the way.

  • 5 David Morgans 23rd May 2024

    Arranging a funeral is an extremely emotional and stressful time; at a time when the next of kin and their family feel less able to cope with such a daunting task. However at our first meeting with Lara Williams, the Funeral Director, at C C James she completed all the necessary forms and outlined the services that they provide, which largely put our minds at ease. On the day of the funeral everything went smoothly thanks to the meticulous planning of the team at C C James Ltd. I and my family are also very grateful to them for the sensitive and emotional support that they provided.

  • 5 Lizzie Harper 16th May 2024

    CC James showed the perfect mix of compassion and efficiency. They never kept us waiting for clarification of any of our questions, updated us and talked us through every step, and everything on the day of the funeral was exactly as planned. We felt that the whole experience was in safe hands, and the human touch of wanting to know about Mum before discussing the details of the funeral was a really lovely touch. The funeral itself was exactly what we wanted, not least because of CC James's ability to simplify, clarify, and carry out an excellent service.

  • 5 Debbie Critcher 13th May 2024

    Thank you so much for everything that you did for my Auntie Joyce (Eleanor) at such a difficult time.  Living a hundred miles away and having to deal with arrangements on the telephone wasn’t easy but special  thanks go to Lara who was always very helpful when I spoke to her. Such a lovely lady. Thanks again.

  • 5 William Bullough 26th Apr 2024

    Thanks so much , Will Bullough

  • 5 Sarah Oliver 21st Mar 2024

    Wonderfully compassionate and professional service from Lara and the whole team at C C James. From the morning of my Dad's death right through to his funeral we were expertly and kindly guided through everything we needed to do and decide. Dad's funeral service was everything we could have wished for and more. Heartfelt thanks. Sarah & Nick
