Julie and colleagues treated my family at this sad time with respect and compassion. From first appt. to final correspondence they were very helpful and professional. Finer details on the day of funeral were very much appreciated. I could not fault anything. Thank you to everyone.

Toni and the team at the Co op, including the celebrant, Carole, couldn’t have done anything more to help us through what has been a truly difficult time. They were professional, compassionate and sensitive, even after the service and kept us fully informed at all times.

    Nick the funeral director was very helpful and guided us through everything. I can't praise Carole Briggs (celebrant) high enough after spending an hour with my daughter and I she put into words exactly what Pam was like . It was one of the most moving eulogies I have ever heard. On the day our wishes were carried out and everything went smoothly. A perfect way to say goodbye to a loved one. Neville

  • 5 Geoff Mangan 18th Jul 2022

    Fantastic service from start to finish. Peter was fantastic . Very helpful and keen to make this experience as good as possible and focussed on our wishes. It meant my mother had the best possible funeral to celebrate her life.
    Whoever the embalmer was a genius. Despite being 4 weeks since she passed, my mother looked so well. She would have been chuffed. 
    The hearse & limo staff were lovely and delighted with Carole, our celebrant. 
    Thank you so much to all at the Coop!
