Was made to feel very comfortable throughout the whole process having entered into this completely unaware of what is required of us as a family. The guidance we were offered more than accommodated our needs and were made to feel that nothing was too much to ask for, especially in terms of being able to see our loved one that passed away so unexpectedly as frequently and as much as we liked. I would highly recommend their services as it lifted all the weight from us at a time it was most needed. Thank you for your helping us through this journey, it was and still is very much appreciated, well done.

  • 5 Lilian Triall 2nd Oct 2023

  • 5 Nicky Slater 12th Sep 2023

    Tracy, Grace and all at Co-op Funeral care Sholing, were amazing and compassionate from start to finish. Literally from phoning through to say my Dad had passed to meeting Grace & her sister who collected my Dad from his home and then going to the funeral directors to discuss all the arrangements for dads wishes with Tracy. There was no pressure but so much support at such a stressful time. To taking Dad home for his last night and Grace spending time with me and talking about my Dad, but not just my Dad. Family issues that were happening. Grace & Tracy listened and supported all the way through. Helping me with his funeral, arranging his memorial page, the vicar and then collecting my Dad's ashes. I could not have asked or wished for kinder more compassionate care. I TRULY cannot thank Tracy and Grace enough for what they did for my Dad and myself. I know my Dad was well cared for and respected whilst in their care which again was a massive burden taken from myself, family and friends.
    Thank you Tracy, Grace & all at Co-op Funeral care.

    Absolutely wonderful people. Couldn’t have chosen any better.  Kept us updated at every step, and went above and beyond to make our Father’s funeral a beautiful occasion. Can’t recommend highly enough 

  • 5 Carol Wilson 27th Feb 2023

    Heart breakingly lost my beautiful mum at just 58 years old. The worst
    Time of my life, I must say how amazing grace was from co op funeral care sholing. She listened to absolutely everything. Could see how much I was struggling and made the worst situation more bareable. Nothing was too much bother for Grace or Tracy. Grace was so friendly I actually felt as if she was my friend and had been for a long time. I’m so glad grace was allocated to us. My mum would have loved her too. Recommend for your loved ones, they will certainly be looked after and treated with the upmost respect. I can’t speak for the whole of the co op funeral care but sholing we’re absolutely amazing. Thank you ladies for doing the most amazing job ❤️

  • 5 Deborah Price 23rd Jan 2023

    Professional, caring and personal service provided principally by Tracy and Grace. 

  • 5 Lynda Blake 12th Jan 2023

    Excellent service from start to finish. Sympathetic and helpful, friendly yet professional. They ensured we were fully aware of, and happy with, every step. Cannot fault.

  • 5 Janet Forsyth Finlay Kronberg 19th Dec 2022

    Everything has been dealt with sensitively and efficiently, meaning that there were no issues I had to deal with myself.
    From the very first, I felt comforted by the fact that, on the very evening of the day my husband passed away, someone from The Lawns contacted me to let me know they had John in their care.
    The day of the funeral was never going to be a good day for me - but Neil and his team ensured that it was the best it could be. Many people commented afterwards on how nicely everything was done - and particular on the wonderful Celebrant (Will), who conducted the service so beautifully that it was remarked that it almost felt as though he had actually known John.
    Tracy and Lianne at The Lawns have also been very supportive - even arranging the interment, so that I did not have the task of contacting the council myself - and continue to be so, as I will be discussing the headstone today.
    Thank you to all.

  • 5 Robin Dine 6th Dec 2022

    Thank you to everyone for making it a lovely service, and a big thank you to Tracy for all her help at such a sad time.
