— Harry Patten (about Charlie, Helen, Darren)
"I was very well looked after by Helen and Charly at Kingston Coop Funeral Care. They took care of all the arrangements for my husband's funeral, sensitively and efficiently. They had no problem accommodating our wishes for a specific route for the funeral cortège. This made a big difference to us."
— daniela mo (about Helen, Charly)
"The compassion, professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated were truly world-class ranging from initial planning meeting to tributes planning. I was so touched with the utmost respect and grace shown to my Aunty. The coordination on the day of service went smoothly, allowing us to focus on remembering my Aunty without any concerns."
— Esther (about Tracey, Darren)
"Helen and Charly were just brilliant, combining compassion, consideration and efficiency. Their gentle, organised and friendly approach was hugely reassuring, and I massively appreciated how they asked questions about the deceased and really listened to what we said about their life, values, likes, etc to ensure they could help me organise the most personalised and perfect funeral. Truly faultless."
— Suzanne Seyghal Buckingham (about Helen, Charly)
"Antonella and Joanne were amazing during a very very difficult time. They were kind and respectful and helped us navigate a process we knew nothing about. No request was too great and they helped us create the most heartfelt, personal and uplifting send off for my lovely mum. Thank you for everything and for being the supportive, gentle voice at the end of the phone."
— Fi Case (about Antonella, Joanne)
