I have nothing but good things to say about Verity from the Hockley branch who handled our affairs. It was not a straight forward funeral and she was caring and helpful in guiding us through the problems. I would recommend both her and the Hockley branch.

  • 5 Wayne Godfrey 14th Mar 2022

    A very caring and compassionate service

  • 5 David Woolford 7th Mar 2022

    Fantastic service from the ladies at Hockley.

  • 5 Sally Smith 28th Feb 2022

    Everything was perfect, except that the celebrant had to stop the service after he had started to go and turn on the photo gallery that we had asked for. We had the bubble machine which wasn't that good but it was a nice touch, I think it was the quality of the machine that let it down. These incidences did not affect the quality of the service we received and the team went above and beyond, sourcing a west ham flag for the coffin and wearing matching ties. Verity at Hockley branch was fabulous as always.

  • 5 Dawn Deboo 31st Jan 2022

    I was very pleased with the way my Dad’s funeral was arranged and very impressed with how organised it all was. Verity at the co-op in Hockley was particularly helpful. She was always there when we needed her and with exactly the right level of compassion. The arrangements on the day were just as we had requested and the staff were excellent. Jim made us all feel at ease and took charge to take the pressure off the family.

  • 5 Terry Moule 31st Jan 2022

    I thought the service provided was professional and demonstrated an understanding of care required in traumatic and upsetting circumstances. 

  • 5 Neil Harding 17th Jan 2022

    Fantastic level of support all the way through the process meant we never felt unsure of what we needed to do next. Verity in particular was sensitive and supportive but judged the mood perfectly, serious and sympathetic without being dour and miserable.  I would strongly recommend their services to anyone facing a funeral.

  • 5 Debbie White 4th Jan 2022

    Verity was so understanding and helpful and kept us informed throughout. Everything was well organised and went very smoothly on the day of Dad's funeral, so we could all focus on saying our goodbyes and not worry about the arrangements.

  • 5 Janet Rankin 29th Dec 2021

    Very kind, caring, supportive and efficient service. Lovely staff members.

  • 5 Isabella Lewis 22nd Dec 2021

    Seamless intervention from one professional to another. Verity was a pleasure to work with very knowledgeable and gave clear and concise information.


    The funeral its self was planned very well, with lots of consideration thought through as the adult had a very small service. Thank you very much.
