    The Co-op handled a funeral my family and I recently the service they provided proved to be outstanding in every way. I would recommend them with every confidence.

  • 5 Shirley Podmore 3rd Oct 2022

    On death of our Mum Joan Podmore we found the funeral director Stuart and all his staff were very empathetic, caring and professional in all matters, from our first phone call to inform them of the death, the first meeting in the funeral home to discuss arrangements up until the very last day of the funeral. The arrangements went very smoothly and they listened to all our concerns and wishes. Everything was done with care and consideration in mind at all times even when telephoning and attending the funeral home. I personally found it much easier that Joan had a funeral plan in place and all her wishes were carried out correctly.

  • 5 Sarah Winstanley 3rd Oct 2022

    The service we received from Co-op was very good. The only negative was that they sometimes don't get back to you with updates.
