    I can't thank Co-op Funeralcare, Downend enough for the caring and sensitive way they dealt with my wife's funeral arrangements. I was kept informed at every step and all my requests and questions listened to and answered. It was a lovely Service and special thanks to Sara, for helping me with the arrangements and to Mark for his help on the day. Also, thanks to the celebrant, Sam, for her tribute. I have a funeral plan in place for myself with them and am reassured that I will be in good hands.

    Sara was absolutely amazing, so helpful and kind and made a very sad occasion much more bearable.
    The personal care and attention to detail whilst handing my fathers death was absolutely outstanding.
    Sara went above and beyond to deliver a really personal service and therefore I have no hesitation in recommending the Co-Op Funeral Care in Downend Bristol.
