Thankyou all at Cowburn Funeral Service for there help with my dad's funeral.
As a family, we were comforted by you and your excellent staff which made this difficult time so much less stressful.

Cowburns have dealt with a few funerals for my family now. Recently my father passed away and Stephen and his staff have been nothing short of sensitive and conscientious. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help through this very difficult time. Much appreciated 🙏 x

Excellent service received from Stephen & his colleagues when planning my late fathers funeral. Excellent attention to detail, through the whole process. I would thoroughly recommend Cowburns.

So disappointing, our family have always used Cowburns but will never use them again. Poor service from start to finish.

Cowburns have dealt with 4 of my family funerals and have always given 100% professional and compassionate service. They are currently organising my Moms funeral and arranged everything from flowers, music the Church and have been so good with everything. I have been over today to see my Mom in her coffin and she looks so good and can't thank them enough.

A big thank you to all the staff for my mothers recent funeral. The kindness, consideration and helpfulness we received was second to none. You made a very stressful situation so easy to get through from start to finish. Heartfelt thanks.
