I first used comparethecoffin in 2015 for my nans funeral after finding them online whilst looking for a cheaper alternative than the funeral directors had offered. I then came back and used them... See more

Highly recommended

So straightforward to deal with - I rang with questions, all of which were answered and Stephen took on liaising with the funeral director and kept me updated at all stages by text. No hard sell, just all options explained and all organised with no fuss or stress. So appreciated at a difficult time. Thank you Compare the Coffin.

Steve went above and beyond to help me with my request. He kept me up to date and was able to send my coffin very quickly. Cannot recommend a better service. Item was also very reasonably priced and was made and shipped in a very fast matter. Coffin was made with superb wood.

Steven was extremely helpful and considerate during this process. He gave lots of advice and showed lots of compassion during this difficult time. I cannot recommend his help product or service any higher. Even speaking to the funeral director to ensure everything went to plan.

Kindness and efficiency

I'd recommend Compare the Coffin to everyone! I'm a funeral celebrant and I know how important it is for bereaved people to be treated with kindness, warmth and practical efficiency - and Steven couldn't have been more helpful. Hopefully I won't need it for a while, but I'd decided to order a coffin for myself and keep it in my flat until the time comes for me to be buried nearby on my daughter's farm. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands was slow, but in the circumstances this wasn't a problem - and I think Stephen was more concerned about it than I was! The quality of the coffin is brilliant - thick cardboard, sturdy handles, good biodegradable lining.

A beautiful Casket for Mum

After choosing a very professional Funeral Director and being given a quote for a casket, I thought there must be a way to source this same high quality product for less. I made several enquiries to companies I found on-line and after speaking with Steven from Comparethecoffin.com I knew his was the most competitively priced. Communicating with Steven was easy, he was very helpful and he delivered the product as described on time. Great service - I'd highly recommend.

Very helpful and reassuring

Very helpful and reassuring.
My brother passed between Christmas and News Years, not the best time to go as everything is shut or in that weird limbo phase.
I was unsure about ordering as I was worried about being taken advantage of. Stephen was so good at explaining the company and letting me have time to decide with no pressure. Everything was done at my own pace. He was very responsive with any queries and concerns. Everything was organised efficiently despite the strange timing. The factory unfortunately was shut until 4th Jan and my brothers funeral was set for the 9th. I was so worried about the timescale for getting it made and delivered to me.
Stephen was reassuring that the coffin would arrive in time for the funeral. Even when I called him 3 days before funeral panicking, he remained calm and said it was going to arrive in time and not to worry. It arrived later that day.
It was perfect for my brother who was a total Dr Who fan so the tardis coffin was perfect.
Everyone commented on how perfect it was for my brother.
I would recommend using this company.

The only issue I had is the extra cost for getting it delivered to me in Elgin Scotland. Stephen said it was not to do with them but the couriers that they use that set the charge. I do understand this but it's so frustrating as we are mainland Scotland. Too many companies charge this excess.

Despite that I would use again and my parents have looked and picked ones that they like.

Helpful and understanding

Very helpful at such a sad time, understanding to my needs and explained everything clearly. Good experience, will recommend to others, but hope I shall not have to use you again in my lifetime. Many thanks

Kindness & Compassion

The service was excellent & very kind & compassionate.
Initially the call was handled as a "trade/wholesale" as a "private customer" was unexpected (?)
It worked out as a "little normality" at a difficult time & nothing was too much trouble.
Payment, Crematorium Label, Actual Coffin & Timely Efficient Delivery were all perfect for which I am grateful of the stress relief. Thank you
I will be back for mine to store when I have completed my duties for my Mum

Very good service, I was surprised at how quick and easy it was.

The coffin was well made and appropriate.
I would recommend "Compare the Coffin".

The Product and The Price were…

The Product and The Price were excellent. Delivery exemplary.
Customer Service was Kind, Caring, Compassionate and Very Helpful.
My Mum loved a "bargain" & this was probably my last opportunity to make her "proud" of me.
I saved £190 of Funeral Service price (about half) to be economically sensible and ecologically friendly.
Best Wishes & Thanks to Comparethecoffin.com Ltd
