Words from the
Families We’ve Helped
Everyone at West & Coe were very kind and considerate from our very first contact regarding ceremony for my father, nothing was too much trouble
They took the time to explain everything to my elderly grieving mother, unfortunately 4 days after Dad's funeral we lost Mum. West & Coe were amazing they even kept Dads ashes on their premises so they could come home together and we didn’t have the heartbreak of collecting while coming to terms with losing Mum. They arranged for the same funeral conductor which made it even more personal as he had met Mum a month before.
Little things they did were a lovely touch
Like a folder to hold all the cards from the flowers and returned jewellery was placed in little velvet bag to keep safe. Thank you to everyone there for making a horrible time that little bit easier.
I would like to thank all at West & Coe
The whole process from planning the day, to the wonderful service given by their suggested celebrant, lovely order of service booklets and the conductor on the day, was very special. Everybody said what a lovely send off it was, a heartfelt thankyou to you all .
Really great service from start to finish from West & Coe
The funeral director was an absolute star. Incredibly kind, professional and supportive. He arranged to collect my Dad out of hours from a care home, then supported the family from then on. He put me in touch with a great florist, arranged a celebrant and helped with the order of service booklet. Nothing was too much trouble for him. On the day of the funeral, West & Coe were professional and respectful and dealt with all the little things I had forgotten. They even collected my Dads ashes a few days later for me. If you want a personal touch from a really well run funeral directors, I couldn't recommend West & Coe more.
Losing my darling wife shattered my world and our families hearts to pieces, you really don't know which way to turn!
