    On behalf of myself and all the family I would like to thank Michael Skinner and his staff. Nothing was too much trouble, they were extremely thoughtful and caring. From start to finish they made the decisions and arrangements as easy as they possibly could, hence the day of the funeral ran really smoothly. I'm sure it cannot be easy dealing with so much grief every day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Co-op Funeralcare in Downend.

  • 5 Fiona Turner 29th Feb 2024

    From the start, Mike, Sara, Maddie, Lynne and the whole team at Co-op Funeralcare, Downend were absolutely amazing. Each of them were compassionate, caring, friendly and yet extremely professional in every way. Every contact we had whether face-to-face, by e-mail  or over the phone was straightforward. All our questions (and we had hundreds) were answered clearly, and all our perceived problems, dealt with swiftly, with the utmost patience, attending to every little detail we requested. I felt they had true empathy for our family and the funeral went very smoothly. The Hearse was sparkling, the attending staff very respectful and they made the whole sad experience as bearable and as easy as it could have been. Thank you so much for everything  🙏🏻
