Kevin's Beliefs
Kevin holds three fundamental beliefs as a result of his time in the funeral industry.
They are:
Firstly, one dedicated person will look after you throughout the difficult time of the death of a loved one so that the bereaved family and friends receive a personal service with dignity.
Secondly, he believes that bereaved people should never need to spend more than they can afford and all costs will be made completely clear from the start.
In addition, he believes that if someone has died you should be able to speak to a member of Cobbolds staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Direct cremations. Our direct cremations are more personal than those advertised on the television. as we use a local crematorium; we use a hearse (not a van) and we let the family know when the cremation is taking place.

We also offer funeral plans covered by the new government legislation if you would like to plan in advance.
