  • 4 Michael Stear 1st Aug 2022

    Good professional service through out. Always rang on a Friday to see if everything was ok and no questions I wanted answering! It would have been good if an online memorial site was available were people could leave a message and donate to our chosen charity. We have no way of knowing who donated and thanking people and letting them know a final total!

  • 5 Syra Bowden 11th Jul 2022

    We were looked after from the very outset, everyone we dealt with was very approachable and respectful. Gary in particular on the actual day was exceptional. No request was a problem, constantly checking we were okay and happy and going out his way to make sure everything went smoothly.

  • 5 Graham Barrie Penrose 6th Jun 2022

    Sean guided us through the process in a very professional manner. He made it very easy for us to follow. The day itself went flawlessly. I would certainly use Coop Funeral Care again and would recommend them if you lose a loved one

  • 5 Ronald James Barrett 12th May 2022


    the care , help and advise we received was with the utmost care and professionalism. Sean truly showed us such empathy and on the day of the funeral looked after us all to ensure the cremation went as we hoped with true respect

    many thanks to you all

  • 5 Jerlita Lentern 3rd May 2022

    Mark from the Co-op was a fantastic help in guiding us through organising George's funeral.
    He was very responsive to suggestions and ensured that everything went by without a hitch on the day.
    He also found us an excellent minister during a time when most were away.
    We could not be more pleased.

  • 5 Martin Prynn 27th Apr 2022

    The help I received at your Newton Abbot branch was excellent. The only problem I had was your branch at Raynes Park closed without notice, just as I had made contact with them. (The funeral was near Raynes Park). No emails were forwarded and your call centre took over a week to realise that Raynes Park was closed! It was a little worrying at the time but your Newton Abbot branch came to the rescue and organised everything.

  • 5 Sara Keefe-Liverton 26th Apr 2022

    We were looked after by Sean, he was so supportive from start to finish. So compassionate and respectful at such a difficult time. Thank you

  • 5 Jane Illman 25th Apr 2022

    Sean was wonderful, kind and understanding. Mum’s funeral plans were put in place with Sean’s guidance and executed to perfection on the day. Thank you.  

  • 5 David Corbett 20th Apr 2022

    Very pleasant, sensitive and professional throughout

  • 5 Linda Smale 4th Apr 2022

    We couldn’t have wished for better service.   The genuine care, attention and respect we received was excellent in every way.  If you choose Coop Funeral Directors you will certainly not be disappointed. 

  • 5 Susanne Casey 4th Apr 2022

    Our family can't thank Sean enough, or speak highly enough about him ! He was so professional and gently guided us through an emotional time. The communication between him and myself was fantastic ,he makes you feel so comfortable and at ease.
    Thank you also to Mark.

  • 5 Nigel Wood 29th Mar 2022

    From the first phone call from Mark, to picking up my Mum's ashes from Sean, I was delighted with the service I received from the Newton Abbot branch. Sean was very clear about what the options were and what they meant, and he talked me through what would happen on the day with care and compassion. On the day itself all went well with the staff helping Sean going above and beyond what was expected. My thanks to the whole team for helping me through this difficult time.

  • 5 Beverley Elizabeth Cleave 28th Mar 2022

    Sean is so calm and patient, our intial meeting ran so smoothly.
    Conducting the funeral on the day was as perfect as a funeral could be.
    Thank tou
