Amy Sams 24th Jul 2023

Very good - funeral plan was already paid for by my mum. The only stipulation was that they ideally choose the date and time which was a bit of a downfall however i suppose that’s all part of the price. Chris the funeral director was lovely.

Elizabeth Still 17th Jul 2023

The most amazing service and complete care at such a difficult time. The arrangements were entirely as my husband and we all wanted. Barbara was brilliant in making arrangements and Chris was also exceptional on the day. The celebrant conducted the service exactly as we wanted. Thanks to them all.

    Sadly I have had to organise 3 funerals since March 2020. Each time I have used the Polegate branch of the Co-op. There is not one thing that could be changed to improve their service. I will be forever grateful for the attention to detail, compassion and help given to me at the saddest times.

  • 4 Alan Harmer 5th Dec 2022

    On a very sad occasion coming so soon after the loss of our mum, your service was once again very good. The only thing that stopped me from giving excellent was the mix up regarding the floral tribute. However in every other aspect your service was very good.
