Everything went exceptionally well according to our wishes. Our many thanks to all Co-op personnel involved especially Lynne and Mike for their expert advice and compassion at this very sad time.

Jane Cox 15th Mar 2022

We mainly dealt with Sara, who was absolutely perfect with us, helped us through the organising. Always quick to respond when we emailed with queries. The rest of the team were also very attentive when we rang with a few more questions. We would like to give our thanks to all of the staff for making our Mum's funeral go so perfectly for her. Thank you.
