All the staff at the CO-OP Funeral Directors in Darlington have been amazing since the passing of my father. I would like to make a special mention to Julie who works in the office and who officiated on the day of the Funeral. Without her I do not think my fathers funeral would have gone as smooth as it has. If anyone in that company deserves a pay rise, a job promotion or any other reward then I would put Julie forward 100 times out of 100. Special lady with the biggest heart

Toni went above and beyond to care for sean, whilst in her care. Toni was very emphatic and kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you for being there at our saddest time

All of the staff at Co-op Funeralcare, Darlington were excellent. I can't fault the service our family received. Our Funeral Director, Julie Guest was always only a phone call away.

    Having used Co-op funeral care for relatives before and both my wife & I have held Co-op funeral plans for about 10 years we assisted Kenneth's Brother in choosing the basic "Essential" package. The representative Toni came out and discussed the options which included Kenneth wearing his suit rather than a shroud. Toni said she would re visit us at the beginning of the next week and we said we would have his suit ready for her which we did. As we had not had a face to face from Toni by the Wednesday (Funeral on Friday) we phoned Co-op back and were told that it was too late to put his suit on him but they could put it in the coffin which we felt was a bit of an insult as we had requested he was to wear it as he would have in life as opposed to a shroud. Over all we felt that we were offered a lower level of service reflecting our choice of using the "essential" (as we were not at that stage aware of any financial situation of Kenneth's estate). We sincerely hope that when it comes to our time the level of service will not cause similar distress to our family.
