We would recommend the Coop especially South Ockendon to anyone.  We had used the Coop many times in the past but when we lost my mum Rihanna was absolutely amazing and made what was a terrible time bearable.  We therefore asked if she would look after Barry for us and yet again she was amazing.  To us she went above and beyond to help us through a really traumatic time.  We can only but thank her from the bottom of our hearts and recommend her to anyone.  Our thanks for everything.

It seemed as we was rushed because the crematorium as running 10 minutes late, we didn't receive the cards from the flowers , we asked for a lock of hair and didn't receive that and the finger prints we got looked like a 2 year old done them.

    Violet was very helpful and exactly the type of person our family needed to deal with this  sad process.

    Absolutely amazing! Violet at South Ockendon was wonderful. So attentive and understanding with a beautiful personality. I can’t thank her enough. We had a problem on the morning of the funeral with the protesters on the QE2 Bridge. Laura the Funeral Director kept in contact and supported us with so much care. Her team were amazing on the day and so very considerate. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart for making the cremation a special celebration for my beloved Dad xx

  • 5 Linda Bright 30th Aug 2022

    I visited the South Ockendon branch of Co-op Funeral Care when my mum sadly passed away. I met Violet, a lovely caring lady who was so helpful and friendly and if there could be a beautiful funeral, mum's certainly was. She was 96 years old and her funeral was just a wonderful celebration of her life and our every wish was catered for. Amazing service from the Co-op, thank you sincerely.

    The Coop in South Ockendon provided an outstanding service for my father's funeral. The staff were excellent and gave great attention to detail. They were kind and sensitive and I would highly recommend their services.

  • 5 Lauren O' Connor 20th Apr 2022

    It was a first class service through out. Violet at the South Ockendon branch made us feel relaxed but still with dignity and sympathy.

  • 5 Janice Richardson 20th Apr 2022

    I was very pleased with the way Violet handled the whole funeral process and made things easy for us. The funeral director was also very good and rang me the night before the funeral to double check arrangements. The only slight disappointment was the arrangement of the hymn that was played at the service was not the traditional one I expected and as we were unfamiliar with this we were unable to sing along. Apart from that I was happy with the way everything was carried out.

  • 5 Lee Smith 20th Apr 2022

    A member of the team who we had dealing with wasn't very sympathetic towards us. We later found out that she was being left by her self at the shop and wasn't fully trained.
