Really happy from planning to the actual day.  Easy and straightforward to deal with as well as some gentle reminders for me to confirm some elements.   On the day it could have not gone better and gave my father a lovely send off.  Attention to detail and care was really good especially the final check in to double check everything.  Thank you.

My Very Big Thank yous go out to Beth, Tracy and Alistaire . They looked after my sister and myself from beginning to end. Very very professional and so lovely to deal with. Their pricing is very good too. Every thing was transparent with no hidden extras. Also they allow you to use your co op membership card to receive a bit of discount too! Which was such another nice gesture they give.  Absolutely 💯 would recommend our trusty Co Op

His attention to detail and level of absolute respect was so very much appreciated. My dad would have loved the day and would heartily approve. I can’t thank the team enough for the service we received, I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone.

  • 5 Mark Lightfoot 13th Nov 2023

    Thank you

  • 5 Simon Guest 13th Nov 2023

    Beth at the Tilehurst branch was very compassionate, helpful & informative. Thank you

  • 5 Christopher Gittins 31st Oct 2023

    Everything was very well organised and the complex process following a sudden and unexpected death was made clear - So we had the minimum of fuss to contend with at a very difficult time for family and friends.
    Alastair in particular managed everything with professional care and attention only contacting us for important decisions and dealing with everything promptly and efficiently so that we were able to hold the funeral at the earliest opportunity with 230 friends and relatives in a packed church.
    For example the discovery that the coffin could not be cremated at West Berks was managed without any need for us to do anything and just to be informed that it was in hand
    The family are very grateful as am I
    The experience has confirmed my faith in the Coop funeral service coming from my family's connection with the Coop over 3 generations since my grandfather was a founding Coop director in Leicestershire.
    Thanks again
    Chris

    Very pleasedwith the service, Beth sorted everything we wanted, and was a pleasure to deal with

  • 5 Clare Conyard 17th Sep 2023

    very nice and helpful quick to sort things if a problem arose thankyou for everything

  • 5 Nicola Drage 14th Sep 2023

    I dealt with Bethany, from the very start, she was kind, caring yet professional.

    She kept us informed at all times and checked to make sure we were happy with everything. At the very last minute over a bank holiday weekend, they managed to get us a live feed to the funeral when due to covid someone couldn’t attend. Within a few hours they’d emailed us a link which took the stress out of the uncertainty of not being able to attend at all. Would recommend their services without hesitation.

  • 5 Keith Parsons 11th Sep 2023

    The service was of the highest standard from start to finish, with the utmost care, attention to detail, courtesy, respect and professionalism.

  • 5 John Stephenson 11th Sep 2023

  • 5 Shirley Harper 24th Aug 2023

    Throughout my interaction with the Co-op funeral care home, I was speaking to the same person and this, I welcomed. I particularly appreciated the language used when interacting with me. It showed respect and thoughtfulness for me and how I was feeling. The language used also demonstrated humanity and care for the person who had died.

    Very pleased with the thoughtful care we were given.
