Phoebe organised everything just how we wanted it to go, she was understanding, polite, professional, caring. She didn't rush me, she listened & kept me informed, phoned when she said she would. She was really a good send at such a sad difficult time. Thank you

  • 5 Malcolm Collins 16th Oct 2023

    From the day we went to arrange the funeral, the staff were extremely helpful and sympathetic to our needs nothing was too much trouble. Everything on the day was carried out very professionally and went without a hitch.

  • 5 Patrick Howlett 2nd Oct 2023

  • 5 Lynda Quinn 20th Sep 2023

    Everyone was most helpful from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. My husband's funeral was everything I had hoped for.

  • 5 Raymond Payne 18th Sep 2023

    Co-op did everything they could to help us through the arrangements for the funeral in a very professional but sensitive way. They also co-ordinated getting us David Wilson as the celebrant who was also the most professional and understanding person we could have hoped for. He delivered a service that we all felt very happy with in terms of what we wanted. Cannot recommend highly enough. 

  • 5 Debbie Abbott 12th Sep 2023

    The staff were amazing and always there to help right from the beginning to the end .
    They were so kind and compassionate and nothing was to much trouble which made things easy in such a difficult time .

  • 5 Stephen Gibbs 11th Sep 2023

    The arrangement of the double Cremation was sensitively arranged by the Co-op Funeral Care at their 15 Queensway establishment. They took into consideration that there was a change from a single Cremation to a double Cremation and they accommodated that for me. So we got off to a perfect start, thanks to Phoebe.
    Andy was the perfect Celebrant and helped me considerably with how to structure the Service and populate the Order of Service with the correct amount of Songs and Poems, thank you Andy.
    The Order of Service was perfectly printed. The day of the Cremations was faultlessly carried through and thank you to the Funeral Director and his team on the day.
    It was commented to me that how the Service was a Celebration of my Mother's and Father's Life together which is how I wished it to be viewed.
    The actual Service was smoothly run and the Music sounded very good.
    I must give Co-op Funeralcare the perfect rating of Excellent.

    Couldn't have asked for a very sad day to have gone any better.

  • 5 Marilyn Coombes 21st Aug 2023

    My brothers funeral went perfectly, everyone at the Co-Op was extremely sympathetic, understanding and professional and I am extremely grateful for that.

  • 5 Patricia Turner 21st Aug 2023

    From the sad passing of Edward Turner, we rang Coop Southend and they came to pick up the body, the ladies were amazing at such a sad time. When we visited the funeral home Phoebe and Malissa talked us through the process with care and attention to our needs and wants. They were simply marvellous organising everything else that we didn’t know about. They were in contact during the whole process with such professionalism but understanding, kindness and compassion. The gentleman (sorry can’t remember the exact names) on the day of the funeral were amazing and brilliantly organised us prior, during and after the service. 
    Don’t think we can praise them enough for everything they did. It was a wonderful send off to a wonderful man. 

    I cant recommend them enough. Perfection!

    Trisha and Brian. Xx

  • 5 Susan Pewsey 21st Aug 2023
