  • 5 John Coyles 15th Jan 2024

    Would recommend co-op funeral care to everyone, very caring people to deal with and do their very best to provide what you ask for, always a sad time but the compassion shown by Jade and Jeanette over the arrangements was very helpful.
    We had a beautiful Service followed by the Crematorium, on the day everything went like clockwork many thanks to all involved in giving my Brother a lovely send-off

  • 5 Gaynor Davies 5th Dec 2023

    The staff were extremely kind, considerate and efficient.  They made a traumatic and deeply saddening occasion less stressful by their compassion and caring.  I cannot praise them highly enough. 

  • 5 Jennifer Burscough 8th Nov 2023

    I found the whole process excellent. They took the weight off my shoulders and the day of the funeral went like a dream. The family could then concentrate on their grief, reflect on our mums life and feel she would be pleased.
    Nothing takes away the pain and sadness when someone you love dies, but the well managed organisation of the day helped us so much.
    Big thank you to the Co-op Funeral Care in Whitehaven which was excellent . Special thanks to Jade and Jeanette . Also to the whole team. They made the day one that we will all remember.
    Thank you again
    Yours,
    on behalf of Ellen's family,and Jennifer in particular x

With thanks Susan Fox .

  • 5 Matthew Sheldrick 10th Jul 2023

    Jeanette and Jade from the Whitehaven office did an outstanding job. Their empathy combined with thoughtfulness and efficiency was really appreciated , especially at a difficult time for our family.

  • 5 Jacqueline Tandy 30th Jun 2023

    Everything was done with feeling for the whole family.  I would certainly recommend them.

  • 4 Sandra Bristow 20th Jun 2023

    Jeanette and Jade exceptional attention and service.  Broke my heart seeing Jade lead the funeral car.  Such dignity 

  • 5 Janet Walsh 19th Jun 2023

    First class service.  Couldn’t fault a thing 

  • 5 Melissa Turner 19th Jun 2023

    Jade Carter has been an amazing support during this heartbreaking time.
    Jade guided me through each step of the process, keeping me informed at every stage. She answered my questions with empathy and she was 100% honest throught.
    My negative comment would be that the CO-OP asks for an upfront part payment at the time of arranging the funeral.
    In my opinion this would definitely put people off using you.
    Thank you to Jade for the care and understanding throughout.

  • 5 Victoria Chilvers 9th Feb 2023

    Jade and Jeanette have been absolutely fantastic throughout what is obviously a really challenging process for the family. Can't thank them enough for their kindness and working through all the practical elements with us sensitively. They have kept us informed along the way and always encouraged extra contact whenever we needed it. Thank you!

  • 5 Brenda Mavir 6th Feb 2023

    They were very helpful and respectful. Jeanette and Jade are amazing

  • 4 Paul Stephenson 30th Jan 2023

    Mum had opted for a Direct Cremation via the coop, the service received was very good, compassionate and carried out with dignity. Even the call after the Cremation was unexpected, but handled with care. Thankyou Jade for your care and attention.

  • 5 Helen Nelson 23rd Jan 2023

    The service I received was truly excellent. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable, kind, efficient and outstandingly professional all along the way. The offices were light,  clean, restful and well organised. The funeral was dignified without being overly sombre or mawkish and exactly what my husband, the deceased, would have wanted. Would confidently recommend. 
    Thank you.

  • 1 Mary Harvey 5th Dec 2022

    The staff at Whitehaven failed to tell us when our dearly beloved was cremated!!! We will never get a chance to say goodbye. We will never get that day back!! We will never deal with the co op again

  • 5 Janis Mackay 15th Nov 2022

    Excellent service from the start. Jeanette and her staff couldn't have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Treated mum in a dignified manner. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Co-op Funeral Care Services in Whitehaven.
