Blair and the team at Coop funeral care Stanley could not have been more professional, helpful and friendly. Nothing was  left unresolved at any point  and every step was explained clearly. It was never going to be an easy and pleasant time but thanks to the team it was as easy as it was possible to be.

  • 5 Kelly Howgate 28th Mar 2022

    Where do I start , from the beginning all the way to the end the service I received from Barbara and the team were outstanding, they took me though everything step by step and couldn’t do enough to help us at this sad time , they made Danny look amazing at the chapel of rest ( as he had bein very poorly) so it was nice having a lasting memory of Danny looking like himself. The service it’s self was just beautifully done , from the cars arriving, to Barbara talking to my little boy explaining everythink that was going to happen . Dan the celebrate was great putting a modern twist on things and made the ceremony all about Danny . Can’t thank everyone enough, highly recommend and everyone is so lovely and friendly.

    The funeral director was very good and helpful;
    Unfortunately, due to staff being hit by COVID 19, the service was okay and due to unforseen circumstances there seem to be a bit of a break down of communications on occasions
