With Christmas fast approaching and the rush for that perfect gift for mum, partner, colleague and kids nearly over, here at J C Atkinson we’ve been reflecting at on what makes purchasing simpler and more satisfying. The extensive low-cost range Amazon offers, the reassurance of John Lewis’s returns policy and the appeal of local independents on the High Street tells us a lot.
In our personal lives we want a company we can trust to provide and deliver a wide range of quality products, on time, at a good price, backed by excellent customer service. In business, the exact same is true. Ours is an industry that doesn’t shut up shop over Christmas and New Year because there will always be families who need us.
That’s why at J C Atkinson we now provide an innovative one-stop-shop service to all our loyal customers, offering:

Incorporating personal memories of the deceased that Jamie and the Reflections team have designed specifically for that individual family.
- Daniel from D.B.DevallsJust to let you know how elegant the Walnut Tree Oval coffin looked this morning - it caught everyone's eye, plenty of comments and none of the pallbearers had seen one like it. It really did look smart. The book for the name details is beautiful, really impressive.
- White Rose Modern FuneralsJust want to say a massive thank you to you & your team for this coffin, we along with the Humanist celebrant, crematorium staff, family and friends thought it was absolutely brilliant, on route to the crematorium there were people on the street taking photos of the coffin and EVERYONE had a big stupid smile on their faces.
- McKenzie and Millar - FuneralcareEveryone commented on how unusual the coffin was. Usually people are too scared to go up to the coffin at a funeral, but everyone went up to see and spent time looking at the photos that were displayed on the coffin. It made is so much easier to be close to dad
- Diane (on behalf of Poetic Endings Funeral Directors)Mum loved the outdoors and nature. She was very environmentally conscious. When we looked at your Eco friendly coffins we knew we’d be able to find something perfect for mum. It made such a sad time a little easier as we know she would have loved it.
- Mr & Mrs SingletonI loved the design on the picture coffin, it really captured my mother’s hobbies. She loved bowls, and to have the bowling green on was a wonderful way to say goodbye.
- Janice DohertyWe wanted to say goodbye to our sister Helen, but in something that was more than just ‘a box’. The different choices that were available in all styles was fascinating. We chose a beautiful American-style Casket and also got a separate keepsake in her memory.
