Kathleen Robson 30th Aug 2022

I was very happy the way Gary carried out the funeral arrangements for my husband.

Thomas Dodd 22nd Aug 2022

I cannot thank Gary and the team for the care given to us as a family during the difficult time when ada passed. The advice given helped when the coroner was involved. The weekly phonecall on a Friday to ensure we were okay. We were talked through the steps of identifying ada and the funeral was made easier knowing she had been taken care of from the minute she was taken into the care of dedicated and caring staff

    Excellent service. Blair kept us informed of everything happening and managed to sort a dolphin themed coffin, box for ashes and also order of service brochure. It took the pressure off us at such a difficult time

    From start to finish I was supported and guided by all staff at Stanley branch. Mums funeral was perfect and I received many comments from those in attendance on how well presented the staff were and the dignity and manner they conducted themselves was second to none. My mum was respected and her wishes followed at all points in the process. Thank you -would recommend 100%!!!

  • 5 Tracey Barkess 25th Jul 2022

    Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish.

    Blair could not have been kinder and more compassionate if he had tried and was more than accommodating for all of our needs. An absolute credit to the business.

    John got the perfect send off he deserved and we couldn’t have wished for more.

    Thank you,

    The Barkess Family

  • 5 Stephen Morton 25th Jul 2022

    The whole process was dealt with in a caring and compassionate way by all of the Co-op Funeralcare staff with whom we came into contact. We were particularly grateful to Gary, our funeral director, for all of his help and support.

    Lovely compassionate and professional staff at the Stanley office. A first class service for my late Uncle. Gary and the coop funeral team, ensured a very personal service was conducted with respect and dignity. The arrangements were organised in an efficient and effective way with care and compassion. Communication was excellent throughout. With heartfelt appreciation for a lovely service of remembrance.
    Please pass on our sincere thanks to the Piper and the florist.

    The service was excellent. Very caring and helpful.Phone calls to me to see how I was keeping. Can't fault a thing even the church service went well.

  • 4 Paul Bowerbank 16th May 2022

    A good service and support from the funeral director though I am at a loss as to the insensitivity of a request for a review of the service less than 1 week following the funeral, this is the loss of a loved one not trip advisor.
