    I could not have asked for more care and understanding during this time. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service and highly recommended. 

  • 5 William Gittens 28th Nov 2022

    The team at Bedford Coop Funeralcare provided the highest quality of service that allowed us to give my wife and mother to our children, the funeral that she would have wanted and certainly deserved.
    From the moment they moved my wife from the hospital mortuary, to facilitating viewing her in the funeral home's Chaple, to ensuring all activities went seamlessly on the day of the funeral. Harry, our funeral director had introduced himself at the outset of the process, and he ensured that all of our choices were met. Similarly the administrative staff Terry and Leslie were equally considerate and professional.

  • 5 Barry Francis 12th Nov 2022

    The staff at the Coop, particularly Terry and Lesley, were so kind and supportive to myself and my family at such a difficult time. I would highly recommend them personally and as a company.

    Thank you to all involved .

    My two brothers and myself had an appointment with Terri to arrange our fathers funeral.  Terri was so kind and understanding and helped us arrange a funeral at my fathers local church followed by the committal.  We had The Order of Service printed and because my father was musical Lesley found a musical design which we used along with photos and it was such lovely item keep and to remember the day and Celebration of our father Jack's life.  I am so grateful that I chose The Co-op Funeral Service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.  Thank you.

    From the moment I went  to register Mums death and knocked on your  door Lesley and team you gave me the warmth, guidance  and help I needed at this very difficult time.  Nothing was to much trouble and you also checked up on me to see how I was coping which means a lot.  
    The day was perfect just what she wanted it to be and would like to thank you all, and David Passfield for everything you have all done for me and my family.

  • 4 Lynn Campbell 15th Aug 2022

    I felt supported and cared for throughout the time they offered services. 

    My only comment would be that there was some confusion on a Saturday about where my aunt had been taken. I was left anxious over the weekend until I could speak to someone in Bedford.
