    I would recommend the Co-op at Consett to anyone who has to organise a funeral. Barbara was sympathetic, practical and put us all at ease. She is totally professional, and talked us through the process, answering all our questions. We felt that we were being well looked after, and that our loved one was in the best hands. The girls at the Consett office were lovely, very helpful and we felt the service over all was very personal. This is so important when you are going through this difficult time.

    From my first phone call right through to the actual funeral we couldn't have asked for a better service than with the Co-op Funeral Care at Consett.
    Everyone was so caring and supportive especially with regard to my 98 year old mum who had to leave hospital for the day to go and visit her son's body and then the same again for the funeral.They all made sure that all the arrangements were taken care of really well and were personally so kind and helpful. Thank you all so much...Judy Gallagher
