Excellent service!! The reassurance, engagement and delivery on all from CoOp Funeralcare  Downend is very much appreciated by the family. From the start meeting with Lyn, throughout the intervening weeks and then Mike making contact evening before the day of service - talking through sequence of the day ahead and being there to collect us and lead logistics on the day itself.   Could ask for no more than this service.  Thank you.

    I was very impressed with the Co-op at Downend. My father passed away on Christmas Day but the service we received was excellent,

    My sincere thanks to the whole team for looking after us.

  • 5 Geoffrey Horseman 23rd Jan 2023

    Again the same excellent service and organisation as my dads funeral in October 2022. Many thanks to Sara and all the staff. Many thanks too to Nikki and Alison for their part in a memorable day. Mum would have been proud. 

  • 5 Kim Farmer 23rd Jan 2023

    From first contact through to the funeral, service was exemplary.
    All of the team were professional, courteous and respectful.
    I would not hesitate to recommend them

  • 5 Veronica-Mae Soar 16th Jan 2023

    I cannot speak too highly of the sensitive and practical attention to every detail of what - for them - was a rather different event than those they are used to.

    I felt supported and listened to. Nothing was too much trouble. They searched out and found elements which I had not been able to, which added to and supported the overall theme which I had planned.

    The introduction of such a splendid film maker was the icing on the cake

  • 5 Malcolm Rogers 10th Jan 2023

    Excellent service not only because of the compassion shown but also at a difficult time of year for making such arrangements.

    Thanks to these lovely people, my husband Rich had a wonderful send off, I couldn’t fault a single thing. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so caring and patient. There was so much to remember but Sara was there at my side, guiding me through it all. Dave, the celebrant worked closely with me and added so much to the service. Mike led the funeral and even called a couple of days after to check I was ok. I cannot thank them enough.
