My opinion: From reporting death through to the cremation ceremony, as  relatives of the of the deceased we were guided with great dignity and respect. My sincere thanks.

Joan Wilson 30th Jan 2023

A heartfelt thank you to everybody who looked after Arthur , there care towards him was extremely kind and I felt they went above and beyond to do what was necessary in his parting time with them , they were extremely kind towards myself,my daughter Michelle and the rest of the family on the day of Arthur’s funeral there dedication was second to none. Thank you for all your kind words they were both comforting and reassuring, we laughed and cried together.   May you have continued success with your business.

  • 5 Paul Lomas 30th Nov 2022

    I cannot praise Jan and the Team at Co-op Funeral Care Carlisle highly enough.
    At a very difficult time for our family they took every worry and care possible off our shoulders. They organised everything with great care and professionalism but most of all with humanity. On the day of the cremation, they were dignified and attentive, looking after both mum and ourselves, just as though we were their family.
    Mum bought a funeral package years ago and this allowed these very special, kind people to look after us all. If you decide to do the same, this will allow your family time to focus on celebrating your dearly departed's life, and not stress about the details of organising their final days.
    Thanks Jan & The Team

    Efficient and helpful

  • 4 Davina Collins 7th Nov 2022

    Very thoughtful friendly and professional service 
    Thankyou 
    Only reason for 4 not 5 star is because I was given advice that I could pay for funeral services using the deceased account but I have since learnt from solicitor and bank that this is illegal and all funeral costs need to go from bank account direct - ie bank do they transferring. Any power of attorney finishes with death 
    Thanks tho 😊
