Sara and Mike ensured that everything was beautiful and exactly how mum wanted. Their kindness and sensitivity meant the world to us. I am very grateful for the help and support that they provided.

Sara Jones was the Funeral Director and I would have no hesitation in recommending her. She had also handled my father's funeral earlier in the year - so when mum passed away, I immediately contacted her. She always answered any questions promptly - treating us with kindness & compassion. The funeral itself was exactly as we wanted - beautiful and personal.

  • 5 Linda Maskell 31st Oct 2022

    Our experience with Lynne at the Coop branch in Cleeve Wood , Downend in preparing the funeral for my late husband John was above and beyond anything we could have expected or hoped for.
    Her compassion and care helped us as a family get through, arrange and manage all that was required for the beautiful service to say goodbye to John last Wednesday. It was all perfect. Thankyou. 
    I would also like to commend Sara who was able to help us with the very final arrangements due to Lynne being unwell.

    A very professional and caring team. Lynne helped us through the process of arranging mum's funeral and Will and his team ensured everything went as planned on the day.

  • 4 Susan Fletcher 13th Oct 2022

    Generally speaking we were looked after very well and were treated sympathetically over what could have been a daunting experience. The treatment we received on the day of the funeral was excellent and all was very dignified and I am sure David would have approved thoroughly. Hopefully he could look down and see that all was going well and everything was alright on the night! - he had been known to 'tread the boards'. Thank you.
