Excellent service from start to finish provided by the team at Downend Branch, Bristol. I was arranging a funeral for a relative.  Never done this before and do not live in the area.  They spent time with me explaining the process in constant contact with me over the phone explaining where we were at and next stage.  Basically they held my hand all the way through from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble.  They arranged a minister Sam who was also excellent. Thank you once again for your help and support.

  • 5 Anne Millett 3rd Oct 2022

    I lost both my parents within ten months of each other and used Co Op Funeralcare for both funerals. The service was incredible. Every member of staff was kind, thoughtful and professional. I had total trust that I would have the service that I wanted and they delivered 100 percent. Mike was super and gave my dad the dignified final journey that I wanted for him. Every aspect of the day was considered and the day was flawless. At a very sad time, the worry was handled for me by your company and took the burden from me. Thank you Mike and the rest of the team for everything you did for me. I would recommend you to anyone.

    I was very pleased with the way the staff looked after us and the care they took to make thing run smoothly.

    I was very upset on the day of the funeral to find some scratches on the coffin I would have expected it to be in perfect condition. I am still waiting to receive a call about this some two and a half weeks later.

    We were very well taken of throughout the whole process of arranging our mums funeral. Any questions we had were always answered quickly. When we viewed our mother we were very pleased as she looked so peaceful and beautiful which was a great comfort to us.
