  • 5 Robin Menzies 1st Mar 2022

    Caring staff and treated everything with dignity, and very aware of the difficulty of the situation and fragility of us at the time

  • 5 Phillip Coaker 28th Feb 2022

    Very efficient and compassionate service. Thank you for ensuring an excellent send off for Eva.

  • 5 Sandra Miles 28th Feb 2022

    I am very pleased with the excellent service received for my mums funeral. Mark, Gary and Alison were lovely, caring people and did not mind how long they spent with myself and my sister, explaining the procedure.

    Charles Russell (Celebrant) created a wonderful Service for mum and spoke with compassion when reading the service. His own input, a poem about knitting, was a kind thought and put everyone at their ease at the beginning of the service.

    I would recommend Co-op Funeralcare, Newton Abbot to anyone wanting a compassionate, caring funeral for themselves or a loved one.

    Sean and the Newton Abbot Co-op team were fantastic. A professional service from start to finish, with a very personal touch. My sisters and I are very grateful for the support provided during a very difficult time.

    Losing a loved one is never easy. Lost my younger brother in a matter of weeks.
    The Co- op we're amazing explained everything step by step slowly so it could be taken in. Very professional and compassionate. Thankyou

    Excellent. Elaine and Shaun gave me a lot of guidance and support.

  • 5 Brian Marshall 21st Dec 2021

    From the outset Sean was really understanding and supportive. The actual funeral was done with respect from the whole team. I’m pleased you’ve given me this opportunity of saying a big thank you for making the difficult occasion just that much more bearable. The service you offered really was worth a five star rating

  • 5 Philip Alan Burrow 21st Dec 2021

    Can only speak highly of the service provided by Co-op Funeralcare Newton Abbot. From my initial meeting with the staff after my Aunt's sad passing, I knew that the proceedings were in safe hands. I was supported all along and the funeral itself ran so smoothly. My Aunt had taken out a Co-op funeral plan twelve years earlier and I know that she would have been delighted with the send-off she was given. Thank you again Co-op Funeralcare!

  • 5 Dave Rabbage 20th Dec 2021

    Very helpful and great communication. We thank the team, especially Sean at the Co-Op in Newton Abbot , very much for all your help.

  • 4 Mario Stephen Said 29th Nov 2021

    Shaun & Robert are very good.
    The only thing that stops me giving 5 stars is I think the co -op advertising board in the car should be removed at least when the coffin is being transferred.
