Kate Parsons-Holmes and her team were simply amazing.  I couldn’t have got through the past few weeks without Kates compassion, thoughtfulness, inspiration and kindness.  Nothing was too much trouble for her (not even difficult step-kids) and she managed to pick me up and make me smile even in such impossible circumstances.  She is a precious asset to your company and I will forever be indebted to her for her friendly and yet professional and personal touches that helped me to give my Husband a perfect ‘bespoke’ send-off.  Thank you just isn’t enough.

    I would like to say that Dominique in Horsham and  Wendy in Torquay were very helpful, kind and caring with regard to planning, organising and finding the appropriate celebrant for my Mums funeral . Everything was very sensitively handled at long distance.  I highly recommend planning a funeral through the Co-Op.

    Michael, as is to be expected, was very easy to deal with under such upsetting circumstances.  He took great care to explain everything, answering any questions or concerns we had, and we felt confident that my father's funeral would proceed without additional distress to my mother and the rest of the family.

  • 5 Nick King 21st Dec 2021

    The co-op were very helpful from start to finish. They took our ideas on board and created a beautiful, respectful presentation for the ceremony in their chapel.

    They left no stone unturned to ensure everything was tasteful and the attention to detail was fantastic.

    They were very supportive from the initial meeting through to the service and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    We, as a family couldn’t have wished for better care for Dave. Michael went beyond to give us help guidance and love throughout our very sad ordeal. 

  • 5 Jenny Saxelby 20th Dec 2021

    I can't praise Co-op funeral Care Torquay highly enough.

    Michael was caring and considerate throughout and took time to find out about my late husband in order to recommend a Celebrant who would be most suitable to conduct the service.

    The funeral went off without a hitch and it was as if the Celebrant, Paul, had known my husband personally. Everyone who attended and knew my husband said it was the best funeral they had attended.

    I can highly recommend Co-op Funeral Care, Torquay.

  • 5 Daniel Bushell 16th Dec 2021

    The whole process was handled very smoothly and the staff were very professional and friendly
