We received excellent service, help and support in the arrangement of my father’s funeral. We needed help and guidance which we were given at each stage of the process and it was given with sensitivity and sincerity. We all felt great gratitude to the staff we dealt with.

Shelley and Emma at the Southbourne branch made the whole process feel personal and Linda's comforting presence at the funeral itself was so much appreciated. This is the third funeral with the Coop and it felt like they were part of the family sharing in the grief. Everything was so well organised and thoughtful. I would like to thank everyone for helping me through this very difficult time.

    Thank you so much, Shelley and Emma: your planning and implementation was meticulous. And thank you also to Paul, who was a very calm and supportive celebrant on the day. To Phoebe, thank you for your control of proceedings: you showed so much professionalism, so much confidence in your role and in your team.
    The event was as flawless as we could have hoped- thanks again. You came recommended, and that recommendation will be paid forward.

  • 5 Marion Davis 1st Apr 2023

    Suggestions were so helpful and very professionally presented. Not least a written record of the funeral service in a lovely box to treasure 
    We had over 200 people at the funeral and I lost count of the people who said that was the warmest most loving funeral they had been to
    This indicates the consideration that all involved had put into a very special occasion
