  • 5 John Sharman 5th Feb 2024

    Words are not enough to describe how grateful we are to Karen in the office, Jo the funeral director and all of the undertaking team for what turned out to be the most professional, thoughtful and efficient funeral service provided. All of the funeral arrangements were made and carried out perfectly and without fuss by Poole Funeralcare culminating in what can only be described as the very best send off that my mother deserved. The team even asked for a brief testimonial of mum so that they understood the person that they were taking to their final place of rest. Everyone in attendance at the funeral have complimented on the excellent and sensitive funeral undertaking service and would highly recommend Poole Funeral Care for any such requirement in the future.

  • 5 Karl Shaw 5th Feb 2024

    Thank you 

  • 4 Kay Redknap 25th Jul 2023

    Overall I was satisfied with the service I received but, other than a telephone call to your office initially, due to staffing issues I was transferred to Co op Broadstone (A.H.Griffin). Here I received excellent service from Jackie. I was then referred to The Lawns at Parkstone for collection of Order of Service and told of the arrangements for the actual day and that Tracey would be looking after us. On the day itself Tracey was unwell and an excellent replacement, Steve, was provided. I also have to mention Ringwood Office who very kindly scanned the photograph for me for the Order of Service. All offices treated me very kindly. My experience shows that you have good teamwork but I would have preferred to have dealt with a single contact. My thanks to all concerned.

  • 5 Stuart Whaymand 24th Jul 2023

    Hayley, Rowan and Jackie were outstanding from start to finish. Made a difficult situation as easy as possible. On the day Tracy and her team along with David the celebrant helped us find the joy in a hard day. Eternally grateful. The Whaymand family xx 

  • 5 Sian Howells 3rd Jul 2023

    The funeral director Haley was very kind and helpful. She made sure I had the very best send off for my dad who meant everything to me. She even suggested a few ideas that I would never of thought of that I ended up using at the funeral such as having a Welsh flag on the screens. She always made me feel listened to and answered any questions that I had. Highly recommend this funeral home.

  • 3 Gillian Tavner 26th Feb 2023

    Thank goodness that Haley took over control of my husband's funeral. Proved very difficult to contact the office and on receiving draft copy of the order of service I realised how many mistakes there were in it. Was starting to loose all faith.Haley sorted and checked everything and all went well in the emf

  • 5 Graham Miller 3rd Jan 2023

    Having suddenly lost our father I found the COOP Funeral services to be professional, attentive, friendly and just provided all of the support and advice that we could have wished for.
    The staff at H.J Cole were just brilliant from the beginning, the explained what was going to happen, what we needed to do and what support that they could provide us. Nothing was to much trouble for them and we really could not have asked for more.
    They looked after dad and showed the high level of respect that you would expect but More.
    At an incredibly sad and confusing time, this is very much the team that you need.
    I am incredibly grateful.

  • 2 Stephen Budden 29th Dec 2022

    At a time of great loss, I did not feel that I was given the support I should have been given.  I had to constantly chase for information and most of the calls went through to a Call Centre which has now made me realise that the Co-Op is purely a business and not a caring Funeral Directors as others I have come across.

  • 5 Gloria Hayes 19th Dec 2022
