Handled everything BRILLIANTLY and also walked me through everything I needed to do as I didn’t have a clue. Andrea also made phone calls to chase things and was an amazing rock for us. I would recommend to anyone to do as Paul did, pay for a funeral with the coop as they were supportive and lovely.

Wendy Baldwin 7th Jul 2023

Andrea was fantastic. She went above and beyond in supporting me to plan my daughters funeral under difficult circumstances. She allowed me plenty of time to talk things through and i really appreciated that we were able to tailor Emily's funeral ie 6 songs and an individually designed order of service cover which reflected a celebration of her life. Andrea kept the funeral private and ensured that others in the team did so as well. I appreciated the fact that she attended the funeral to make sure everything ran smoothly. Amy and Andrea were a dream team. I appreciated meeting them both to run through the funeral in detail. They were both extremely well organised and followed my instructions to the letter. the day

  • 5 Caroline Derriman 30th Aug 2022

    The most difficult time in my life, but you made things a little harder to bear.
    Whilst it was a Direct funeral it was the wish of my late husband that he didn't want any fuss. He enjoyed life and that's how he will be remembered.
    Thank you for your help during this heartbreaking time.

    Our sincere thanks to Amy and her team

  • 5 Diana Lashmore 18th Jul 2022

    We were having a simple cremation without a funeral, even so this was handled with sensitivity and efficiency. Our funeral director judged the situation brilliantly, she has a lovely way of being sympathetic without being over the top. In a sad situation are dealing with her always left us feeling that our friend, despite his simple wishes, was in good hands

  • 5 Nicky Harris 15th Jul 2022

    I recently had to arrange the funeral of my dear elderly mother, and had the wonderful help of Amy and Sarah at the Woodingdean branch of Co-op Funeral Care. As a family, we received an excellent service! I was kindly and carefully guided with very compassionate advice about how to arrange a funeral service that was fitting for my dear Mum, and appropriate for our needs as a family.
    Amy and Sarah have both exceeded my expectations, and were both extremely kind, caring, helpful, compassionate and sympathetic. I will never, ever forget the kindness we have received, and their wonderful expertise in guiding us so gently and beautifully. Thank you so much Amy and Sarah. You are truly lovely, caring people, and I appreciate all your help and kind support so much.

    Four years ago, I also very sadly lost my elderly Dad, too. As a family, we also used Woodingdean Co-op Funeral Care, too, and received an excellent service then, too.

    Thank you so much Co-op Funeral Care (Woodingdean), and thank you so much Amy and Sarah.

    From the very first telephone call to Amy at Woodingdean Co-op Funeral Care, the service and help provided could not possibly have been any better. Dealing with everything by telephone from 150 miles away was an initially daunting prospect but Amy made it simple. She provided all the necessary information in order to register the death and all the different options and costs for the funeral were very clearly explained. Once agreed, Amy was able to help secure a date/time for the cremation that suited, organise an exceptional celebrant to take the service, provide recommendations for florists and wake locations, set up a web-based tribute page for donations, messages, photos, etc. and giving full details and maps of the funeral and wake locations. There was excellent communication from Amy at all stages and on the day before the cremation, detailed arrangements were provided for the way in which the day would unfold. On the actual day of the funeral, the funeral director and his assistants were professional and unobtrusive. If I could give a rating of more than 5 stars I would as I truly believe that the overall service provided was beyond exceptional.

  • 5 James Streeter 28th Jun 2022

    From day one the service we received from Woodingdean Co-op Funeralcare was first class. Amy was kindness itself, warmly welcoming, friendly, patient and compassionate, with all options and choices explained carefully and fully. Everything we’d requested was carried out to perfection, respectfully and professionally, by all involved; from the office, to the celebrant and the attendant funeral service staff on the day, and always with a human touch. We can’t recommend highly enough.

  • 5 Jackie Howcutt 13th Jun 2022

    Amy and Sarah were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and every question was answered with compassion and care. The funeral was beautiful with everything going according to plan. Thank you to everyone involved.
