  • 5 Maureen Cresswell 14th Aug 2023

    The service from the initial purchase of a funeral plan to the aftercare offered by the team was always prompt, considered and appropriate. When time came to contact the team at Pitsea they could not have been more helpful, especially as the death was at home and they had to attend on a Sunday. Staff at the office were very professional when making all the funeral arrangements and guiding us through the decision making process relating to choices for the actual funeral. I would like to thank all the team for their kindness at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Moira Brown 30th Jun 2023

  • 3 Sarah Dowling 20th Feb 2023

    Initially the contact, quote  and booking was with Teresa, lovely lady no complaints. After Teresa was not at work…Interim period dreadful. Different people seemingly not knowing what was going on… not getting back to me with answers to queries. The man who my daughter had conversations with totally not funny or helpful…
     When Lynsey and Emma took over from Basildon branch everything thankfully slotted in to place and the funeral went ahead beautifully.
    Since paying in full…  again not impressed with follow up. I was promised info./brochure on ashes containers etc… still waiting.

  • 5 Angela Newport 7th Feb 2023

    Teresa was amazing throughout the process, making my brother and I feel very comfortable on arranging the funeral service. Following on from that meeting Teresa supported us all the way through to the day of service when the team took an active part and ensured the service went without a hitch. Fully recommend Pitsea funeralcare at Pitsea, Teresa and her team thank you. Gary Holt

  • 5 Ramona Smith 3rd Jan 2023

    The experience we’ve had from Teresa at the CoOp Pitsea Funeralcare has been exceptional. During the hardest time in our lives, Teresa was compassionate, patient, respectful and caring. There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t try to accommodate for us. She is also a good judge of character and matched us to our celebrant Mike perfectly. He was so suited to our family and lead my Dad’s service perfectly. The undertakers were also excellent, especially Laura who was so helpful. I cannot thank Teresa and the team enough for everything they’ve done for me and my family at this most difficult time.
