Very well organised, nothing was too much trouble, very kind and caring. Gave suggestions when not sure of the general procedure. Everything went according to plan on the day and once again they were there to give support and advice when needed. Thank you for helping to celebrate my husband's life the way we wanted.

  • 5 Ellen Roe 5th Dec 2022

    From the moment we called the Coop to the end of the funeral everything was handled in a very friendly, professional and compassionate way. Farah and Ally went above and beyond. Can’t thank them enough. Excellent !!  

  • 5 Sharon Hargreaves 28th Nov 2022

    I couldn't have asked for more as the day was beautiful for my dad so thank you Farrah. You went above and beyond and gave my dad the best funeral possible. You guided us through the whole process and nothing was too much trouble and your celebrant Al did an amazing job for the ceremony too.

  • 5 Iris McIntyre 28th Nov 2022

    Very professional and dignified. I was made to feel at ease from the start and they were kind and understanding throughout the process. The communication was very good and any questions were answered promptly. I would definitely recommend the
    Co-op. 

  • 5 Stephen Hutchings 15th Nov 2022

    An all round excellent service. From the time we walked in and spoke to Farrah my elderly mother and I felt very welcome. Prior to that the company dealt with practical matters most efficiently. Everything was explained clearly from dates and order of service to providing an equally excellent and sympathetic celebrant in Al Mayfield. On the day everything went smoothly including the vehicles and pall bearers led by Steve. 
    Highly recommended- difficult to compare value for money. 

  • 5 Kevin Meddeman 7th Nov 2022

    no problems at all it was a lovely professional service thank your all for a good send off to my mum

  • 5 David Wilson 25th Oct 2022

    I ca unrevealed recommend Co-op Funeral car. Their stall demostrate excellent empathy, and nothing is too difficult for them to make the funeral go well and your loved one has a celebration of their life to match their value in the minds of the family and friends who attend

  • 5 Bridgitte Byrne 4th Oct 2022

    Stephen the funeral director phoned the day before the service to introduce himself, which was very welcome and comforting. On the day he and his colleagues were very caring and professional. My overall impression was that Stephen and his colleagues are a credit to your company.
    Thank you.

  • 5 Joan Ferguson 3rd Oct 2022

    Sympathetic, and understanding gave us time
    to even talk about our mum.
    No task was too much trouble 
    Looked after well by team.
    Thank you Farrah, Ali and Steven and all the limo, drivers

  • 1 Shirley Field 3rd Oct 2022

    This business thinks that it is appropriate to send a ‘rate my funeral’ email without permission or warning 14 days after cremation. My mother’s death is not a subject for an online survey like an erroneous Amazon order. This is totally inappropriate, demeaning to relatives and those who have died.  Obviously the focus is on gaining ratings via web surveys than those who have died and their relatives. If you are readings reviews, please remember there is a family at the back of this ‘service’ who are reduced to this level of disrespect not even 14 days after a cremation. 

  • 5 Christine Greig 3rd Oct 2022
