    I can’t thank Claire at Woodville enough for all her care and compassion, both at the beginning to organise the funeral but also on the actual day not just to myself  but to the family .  She has time for you, she listens and helps guide you through in a professional but friendly and caring way.   I am so grateful that I chose this Funeral Directors, not sure I’d have got through the service without her. Thank you.

  • 5 Theresa Farrell 12th May 2026

    At one of the worst times in my life, I could not have put the funeral of my dad into better hands. Claire was amazing, so kind throughout the whole process.
    Although Claire was my main contact, every member of staff I came into contact with, both at Woodville and Tamworth were equally amazing.
    I would not hesitate to recommend your services. Thanks to Claire and the team, dad's funeral went off without any hitches, he would have been so touched, that he was deserving of such a send off. A great big thank you to you all.

  • 5 Pat Turner 1st Apr 2026

    We could not be more happy with the service we received. Claire was warm, friendly and patient. Everything was explained so we could understand what would happen. It made a stressful time really pleasant. Everything was taken care of, Things we hadn't thought of too. I'm sure the actual funeral will be as warm and well organised. We took up some of the suggestions for flowers and the wake. All equally friendly service. Thank you

  • 5 Robert Banks 11th Jan 2026

    From the first discussion to the wake, Natasha was with me every step of the way. I cannot speak highly enough for the service I was provided, the care and compassion I was shown, and the respect given to Claudie on her final journey.
    The advice I was given at all stages of the process were sensitive and caring. I cannot find fault in anything. Thank you so much for providing Claudie with the loveliest and most fitting funeral.

    Claire Wassall and her team were all caring and thoughtful at the sad time of my mum’s passing. Claire looked after us at the initial stage, helping my brother and myself through the unfamiliar process and continued to be in touch both before and after the funeral itself. 
    The people who took mum and ourselves from her home to the crematorium, showed a great deal of respect at all times, especially Tommy, the lead, who advised us throughout as to what would be happening, in a quiet and professional manner.
    We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Woodville Co-operative Funeral Service to anyone looking for guidance at such a difficult time.
