Couldn’t have asked anymore of Russ and Jen. They feel like extended members of your family, they were so courteous, friendly, approachable and trustworthy. Nothing was too much to ask and during an emotionally difficult time they were a breath of fresh air. We will be forever grateful.

  • 5 John Hackett 22nd Feb 2023

    From the day of my father’s death to the day of the funeral and beyond we could not have asked for a better service from the Co-op. They arranged and coordinated everything so smoothly, respectfully and efficiently - the Requiem Mass, the cremation, the flowers, the publication of the Orders of Service, Memory cards, newspaper advertising, transportation, and more  ….. It was always a pleasure to deal with each member of staff, particularly Russ and Jen, on the phone or in person. We as a family are so very grateful. Thank you. 

  • 5 Diana Wilkinson 22nd Feb 2023

    Kendal Co-op Funeralcare gave us perfect support and consideration throughout the whole process of my Father’s funeral.  Having arranged his funeral plan in advance when he was alive allowed him to make the choices and us to carry out his wishes. My grateful thanks for a funeral given on such a personal basis. 

  • 5 Jenny Ross 21st Feb 2023

    Everything went very smoothly for my dad's funeral with Co-op Funeralcare Kendal. Russ & Jen were very friendly and respectful of our wishes. There was no 'hard sell' or attempt to persuade us to spend more money on any part of the service, which we appreciated. On the day, the funeral went perfectly and was exactly what I had hoped for. The celebrant (Karen) who was recommended by Russ also did a super job. Overall, I would highly recommend the Co-op. Thanks for making the whole experience stress-free!

  • 5 Anne Womack 20th Feb 2023
