All the staff were very compassionate and supportive. Explained everything and helped with suggestions on matters we were unsure of. Sue listened and checked regularly to make sure we had all the information we neededand if we needed any help with other bereavement services.

Following the passing of our dearly beloved Father; we as a Family have felt fully supported and understood by Great Wakering Funeral Care. We feel they did their upmost to guide us through what could have been a very difficult time, making it a smooth transition. We have always been treated with respect by experienced, dedicated, impeccably presented staff. Every question answered, every box ticked! I would like to extend our thanks mostly to Susie Muncer of Co-Op Funeral Services, your advice and guidance was perfect! Thank you.
