"I couldn't have coped without them and in particular Kerry who is a real ambassador for the company. After the sudden death of my husband the team were very helpful and kind, showing empathy and understanding throughout, whilst guiding and helping us at each stage."
— carmel weekes (about Kerry)
"The thought of organizing my mums funeral was filling me with dread but after my initial chat with Kerry everything changed. Her kindness, empathy and understanding made the whole experience a lot easier. They allowed me to give my mum a fitting send off and for that I am truly grateful."
— Carmem Burtenshaw (about Kerry and Emma)
"Their care, kindness, direction, encouragement and gentle guidance through the process and their outstanding communication made it so much easier for us to ensure we did our best for our loved one - we dont think we could have found a better undertakers to support us through the hardest thing in life cremating a husband and father too early in life."
— Lucy Dickman (about Paula, Kate and Lorna)
"Having lost our Mum unexpectedly, my brother, sister, father and I arrived at Rose Cottage dazed and emotional. They took the time to talk to us about our Mum and understand more about her as a person. They guided us through every tiny step of the incredibly difficult process of planning a farewell that was perfect for Mum."
— Tessa (about Lorna)
"I was also pleasantly surprised to receive a call earlier this morning from Lorna, three days after the ceremony, to enquire how I was shaping up and coping. You are able to put your absolute trust in their professionalism, care and efficiency."
— John Purefoy (about Lorna)
"I was in shock and struggling to function and Kerry and Amy helped me through such a difficult time - providing me with not only kindness but also friendship and a shoulder to lean on when needed. They did not push me to make decisions quickly with just gentle nudges when we were getting close to the funeral date."
— Jo Chipchase (about Kerry and Amy)

Everything we requested was handled professionally, with compassion and care. All staff we encountered were amazing. When you are feeling at a lost the process of arranging a funeral can be overwhelming in our case it was not. Thank you so much.

Not having any experience of how to go about arranging a funeral we had been recommended to chat to Coopers by a trusted friend. Their team were fantastic to liaise with and really helped at a difficult time. Their sympathetic support and attention was hugely appreciated and really created a lovely send off. Heartfelt respect and diligence from start to finish. Thank you.

Thank you to all the team at Cooper and Son's of Uckfield from our initial meeting with Paula who was so patient and understanding when dealing with 3 sisters who have just lost their mum and all have ideas as to how the funeral, order of service etc needs to be done. To the recommendation of the florist - Ana's flowers, who delivered everything we asked for and more. To the celebrant - Paul Cousens, who was just perfect and made the memorial service with the way he delivered the service - he made us laugh amongst the tears. Then there was Katie and Lorna both just as helpful and kind. Lorna was amazing at the service from us walking in front of the hearse to listening to all the little things we wanted to do at the service. Her and her team went above and beyond. It is always strange to write a review about a funeral company as it is a sad time but I feel that to let people know how amazing these guys are will make it easier for someone else to choose a company when their love one dies. Thank you again.

The team at Cooper and son's are very professional, I have used them several times and they always deliver to a high standard. Most recently I used them to make the arrangements for my late Father. My Father had very dignified sent off that was arranged fantastically by Cooper and son's. My sister and I were well supported at this difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Having lost our Mum unexpectedly, my brother, sister, father and I arrived at Rose Cottage dazed and emotional; Lorna and the team could not have been kinder, more supportive or more genuinely caring and patience with us all. They took the time to talk to us about our Mum and understand more about her as a person. They guided us through every tiny step of the incredibly difficult process of planning a farewell that was perfect for Mum. My family and I can’t recommend the services of Lorna, the Paula’s and the whole team highly enough. We are so very grateful for all their support and effort in helping us say goodbye to our beloved Mum.
