I can’t thank Rebecca, Kelly and the team enough for the amazing help, care and understanding they showed to me while organising mum’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and they made everything happen smoothly on the day just as I’d hoped.  I would definitely recommend George Pettit to others.

This sadly was the 4th time in as many years that we needed the services of George Pettit co-op funeralcare. They have always been professional and helpful and provided the guidance we required. So Thank you very much.

  • 5 David John Nicholls 13th Dec 2021

    The company provided excellent service throughout the difficult process of arranging and carrying out the Cremation and Funeral Service for my wife. The team on the day of the service had difficult logistics of road closures but guided the family through the process with great professionalism and compassion.

  • 5 Patricia Mary Price 20th Jul 2021

    From our first contact to our last meeting after the funeral we were treated with sympathy and sensitivity. The procedure was explained to us in detail, and all options given to us. The result was a funeral my son would have been totally happy with, as I was. In spite of the restrictions in numbers and content imposed by the pandemic, the result was a service both dignified and comforting. My thanks to all those involved

  • 5 Ray Noonan 12th Apr 2021

    No loss of a loved one is fun but Pettit's smooth organisation and sensitive approach made the funeral of my late wife as trouble-free and unstressful as possible, while maintaining the appropriate dignity of the occasion. Everything I had asked for was done perfectly and the tactful and friendly support of Pettit's staff at every stage ensured that a day I had dreaded turned out to be one remembered with gratitude.

    I should add that the nearby florist suggested by Pettit's suppled the most magnificent floral tribute I have ever seen and are similarly to be highly recommended. 

  • 5 Patricia Richards 12th Apr 2021

    Can’t fault the care and attention to detail in our dealings with this company (Co-op) 
    Thank you from this heartbroken family.

    and they made a very difficult job less daunting. 

  • 5 Karin Elizabeth Snape 30th Mar 2021

    They were so helpful, kind, thoughtful and very approachable. Did an excellent job, offered support. Couldn’t fault them

  • 4 Mary Allanson 30th Mar 2021

    The service from the staff was excellent but I’ve only given it four stars because  there was not a facility for “in memory of” online payments. I think this is a service that should be offered, particularly in this current pandemic.

  • 5 Sally Elkin 29th Mar 2021

    Very friendly and professional. Would recommend to others.

  • 5 Mark Phillips 24th Mar 2021

    Easy and minimal fuss and hassle
