About Us
Our
History
We are a team of conscientious and caring funeral professionals with decades of experience. Ronald Cogan & Sons was established in North Ferriby in 1964 by Ron and Hilda Cogan where “The Old Joiner’s Shop” now sits. In 1988, the family purchased some disused railway land and a new purpose-built chapel of rest was built. Shortly after, in 1993, Ron and Hilda passed away and the business was left to David Cogan to take over the day-to-day running of the business. In 2024, we commemorate 60 years of continuous service to North Ferriby and surrounding communities.
We provide a discrete and bespoke personal service and home arrangements.
We are here to help you 24 hours a day 365 days a year. If you have questions regarding funeral services or need our support, please call us on 01482 631740.

Its always a difficult time when a loved one has passed even at the age of 98. However, Josephine was just brilliant, she gave us some options for the funeral which we discussed with her and then settled on the one we thought best and from then on Josephine did the everything. We live 3 hours drive from North Ferriby so could not be directly involved, but we did not have to worry as Josephine took care of everything. We would highly recommend Ronald Cogan.
I could not have asked for better support and guidance during this very tough time. I never once felt like I was asking a silly question or that my visits were inconvenient or asking too much. Attention to detail on everything made me feel so much better about Mum's service and how she was looked after at Cogan's. The team offer such a professional yet approachable service which is exactly what I needed.
I cannot praise Ronald Cogan & Sons Funeral Directors highly enough. As a family we have used this company for years. I was quite concerned to hear that the Cogan family had recently sold, however, my concerns were completely unfounded. Josephine and Heather were simply excellent. Their highly professional and polite service removed the stress and anxiety at a very difficult time. I would recommend them unreservedly.
The team at Ronald's and cogan were amazing so helpful friendly and approachable. Josephine was so kind nothing was any trouble. My mum was cared for with the upmost dignity and respect. I would definitely recommend them.
Josephine was just wonderful in helping to support me in arranging my dad's funeral; which she did with the utmost kindness, sincerity and sensitivity during such an emotional time. I also want to thank the gentlemen who helped on the day of the funeral, and to all of the staff behind the scenes who looked after my dad in a kind and dignified manner. I would highly recommend Cogan's.
