Cooper & Son Funeral Directors

From the moment I walked through the door the staff at Coopers, Lewes, made me feel at ease and supported. At a difficult time, Anastasia, the manager and her colleagues, Angela and Ioni gave all my Aunts nieces and mourners time to express their grief and showed empathy throughout the funeral process. Everything had been thought through so carefully so that, on the day of the funeral, we could enjoy a morning fit for our Aunt. A bar of chocolate and a tea bag for each mourner, at the end of the service, made us all smile and reminded us of our Aunts two favourite things! Thank you so much.

We have used Cooper & Son for family bereavements for as long as I know. They have helped with a number of funerals over the years and we had reason to use their services again this year. I had not organised a funeral myself before but from the moment we walked in we were treated professionally, with care, humility and understanding. They helped us every step of the way with all of the arrangements and then when the day of the funeral service itself came everything was caring, compassionate and thoughtful. They helped make a difficult time as seamless as possible and we will be forever grateful for what they did. I cannot recommend their team highly enough. (Mum would be very happy.)

Anastasia and her colleagues at Cooper & Son gave our family everything we could have wanted in the arrangements for my husband Nick’s funeral. He was only 73 and died far too soon from cancer. Every request to meet the individual wishes of family members was met without fuss. Indeed, what was already a terribly sad time was lifted by the kindness, compassion and the genuine human warmth displayed by Anastasia which included some comforting natural humour when it was appropriate. We chose the Clayton Wood natural burial site timber barn venue for the funeral and a non-religious celebrant and Cooper & Son worked with both again without fuss or any complication.

The team at Cooper & Son were amazing in dealing with the funeral arrangements for Dad, especially Anastasia, Angela and Mandy who were always on hand to answer questions and help us through the process. Their professional and considerate approach was most appreciated in what was a very difficult time for us. I would highly recommend them.

Honestly, everyone was incredibly caring and careful, but had confidence to guide us through what we needed to do. My mum died very suddenly and unexpectedly in Wales, and Cooper & Son all helped to bring her back to Lewes where her heart was so that we could bury her in her own plot at the cemetery. When we came across blocks, they just helped sort everything out. We wanted a non-religious ceremony and Cooper & Sons found us a wonderful celebrant who understood mum and the family within minutes of speaking with us. It's a difficult time for anyone, but the guidance, care and communication from everyone at Cooper & Son made it bearable. Thank you to all
