What people say
★★★★★
My brother's funeral was handled by Clare at Kavanagh and Coates recently and it was such a well-thought out and smooth experience for the family. They looked after absolutely everything and we never felt rushed or like a bother. Clare was thoughtful, empathetic and genuinely cared about my brother and our family. She had also looked after my stepfather fairly recently and so we knew we were in excellent hands. They provided the most amazing floral display as well. Clare was always available to answer any questions and guided the whole process with the utmost professionalism. Thank you so much

From my very first phone call, to arriving at the wake venue, the support and care that I received was unbelievable! I can not thank Sam enough for all the effort and care that went into ensuring my Dad's funeral run smoothly. You and Claire have been amazing the last few weeks and made a very emotional time in my life much easier. A wonderful professional service provided, I will be forever grateful
