Mike and his team have been brilliant throughout this whole process.  He explained everything very clearly beforehand and has been extremely supportive throughout.  I particularly appreciated his call the day after dad’s funeral to check we were all ok. I cannot recommend the Co-op Funeral Service at Downend highly enough.

    Helen was so caring, supportive and helpful when guiding me through organising the best and most suitable funeral for James. She often called me to make sure I was doing ok as well as keeping me updated on all the plans and the processes which needed to happen.
    On the day of the funeral Mark came to our house and supported me from the start as well as my family. He explained each part of the day and everything which was happening. Mark was very kind, caring and his gentle nature made the day feel that little bit easier. Mark and Helen have always been very welcoming as well as Sara at the Downend co op funeral care branch.

    Exceptionally kind, caring and a sincere gentle process  with a great amount of respect was given to us as a family by lynne at the Downend branch. Mike at the branch also led the funeral proceedings on the morning, he too took great care of us.The Minister Peter Davies who was recommended by the Downend branch took the service and was a true gentleman. He carried out our wishes to deliver an elegant and individual representation of my lovely mum.
