    Thank you.  

  • 5 Debra Kennedy 20th Nov 2023

    Everyone at the Woodville branch was so sensitive and caring in making the arrangements for my Dads funeral, especially Karen wood who was so compassionate.  On the day of the funeral Tony Rabin was the conductor and ensured that everything went to plan as well as taking time to walk us through each step so we knew what to expect and when. Nick Upton was the celebrant and lead the ceremony which gave Dad the send off we all hoped for. Thank you to everyone  who supported us through an extremely difficult time.

    From start to finish, we have nothing but praise for the compassionate & efficient service we received for our father’s funeral. The helpful suggestions offered to us resulted in the funeral being a perfect & beautiful farewell to our much loved Dad. We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use these funeral directors in future.

    From the moment you call, in your darkest hour, you're treated like family. Nothing is too much trouble, your requests, little whims, daft questions you know you shouldn't ask.. the ladies at Woodville, in my opinion, are the best in the business.

    Very caring service at a competitive price. Everything went very smoothly and was just what we wanted. I would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Simon Keeling 3rd Feb 2019

    My late mother sadly passed away during a temporary stay at a nursing home, one chosen due to its rural location all be it some distance away from my mother’s home address.




    The receiving funeral home was the Co-operative Funeral Service in Woodville. I recall the moment I called them for the first time and the level of initial support I was offered.
    I now reflect on just how accommodating Co-operative Funeral Service were, in particular my request for an immediate appointment to discuss what to do next?
     
    Greeted by Sandra we were soon put at ease. Guided to a private room we were joined by Lorraine the funeral director. We shared our emotional journey with Lorraine who assured us that they would take care of both our mother and ourselves, despite being some way from our home address. In Summary - completely faultless from beginning to end. Thank you, Lorraine and Sandra.......God bless you both. xx
     
    Special thanks to Dean our conductor for walking mum away from her home, his colleagues and our very professional and courteous driver Nathan.

  • 5 Martyn Monks 11th Apr 2018

    From the time we contacted Lorraine at Woodville to advise of my mothers death it was handled in an efficient and professional manner. Lorraine came to our home to discuss the details, we had never met her before but quickly warmed to her. She didn't rush us and had empathy, she advised on several points and listened to our wishes.
    The day of the funeral was carried out with dignity. All the staff were extremely obliging ,nothing seemed too much trouble.  know my mother would have approved.
    I would recommend them to anyone.
