Susan Munt 23rd Jan 2023

The team were wonderful. They had a caring approach to a very sad occasion and looked after us beautifully. I would highly recommend this company

Amy Rockson 5th Jan 2023

The team at Watford Funeralcare (part of Co-operative Funeral care) were excellent, particularly Kat Roberts who was outstanding. Her professionalism was eclipsed only by her kindness. She made a very difficult situation bearable, and thanks to her, I found the perfect church, vicar and reception venue to ensure that my mother was laid to rest beautifully at the chosen cemetery. I cannot thank her enough. Her colleagues were brilliant too, and John ensured that things went smoothly on the day. I highly recommend this service and this team. They deserve the five stars. Top marks and much gratitude.

  • 5 Jamie Deller 3rd Jan 2023

    I recently buried my grandmother and the care and support provided was 10 out of 10 . Kat looked after both my grandparents funerals and I couldn’t have asked for a better service . Thank you co op again for making this time less stressful and for all your help and support

  • 5 Diana Jackson 3rd Jan 2023

    I have unfortunately had to use the Co-op funeral services twice in the last year and both times they have been incredibly professional. All the staff were incredibly kind, and we were just very impressed with the whole service. The professionalism made a difficult time easier and I was glad to have found them.

    We were met with the best of care, the atmosphere was one of warmth, compassion. The ladies treated us with respect at all times. We felt comfortable with them at all times. I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all those involved in arranging the funeral care of my husband.

  • 3 Julia Ayliffe 6th Dec 2022

    Staff friendly and helpful, only issue was a detour to the home was not done before the service.

  • 4 Anne Scarff 2nd Dec 2022

  • 5 Carl James 28th Nov 2022

    All very good.

  • 5 Darren Head 28th Nov 2022

    So helpfully through could not have asked for me

  • 5 Keith Draine 28th Nov 2022

    Discussing the various options with Kat was made as easy as it can be by her kind, considerate, but straightforward manner.

    Everything went to plan and special thanks to our celebrant Mike, who was excellent.  George was also brilliant on the day by making the process run without a hitch.

  • 5 Josephine Kimber 22nd Nov 2022

    The staff were not only kind, understanding and knowledgeable but made the whole process easy for me. Those who attended the funeral and those who saw it on streaming told me that it was a lovely service and I have to agree with them. Al Mayfield was wonderful as a celebrant. Thank you all for making a sad occasion bearable

  • 5 Rachel Brett 24th Oct 2022

    We were taken through the whole process, from beginning to end , with nothing but care, compassion and kindness. Georgina was fabulous, taking care of us. The whole farewell service was tailored to our family and was a perfect way to say goodbye to mum. 

  • 5 Mark Woodley 24th Oct 2022

    Very helpful and professional

  • 4 Virginia Whittington 17th Oct 2022

    The whole team were very kind and professional.
    The only bone of contention was the price of the posy I was charged for. I ordered the posy through the Co-op funeral care - cost:£55:00.  A friend of mine ordered the identical posy from the same florist that the Co-op use: “L Cook Florist” Carpenders Park - cost:£25:00. I feel that paying an extra £30:00., for the same service, as “L Cook” delivered both the posy’s to Co-op funeral care at the same time, extremely unjust and in consideration would like to be reimbursed for the £30:00., I feel unjustly charged for.

  • 5 Kenneth Elliott 10th Oct 2022

    Efficient, kind and thoughtful. Thank you very much. From Ken and Hazel

  • 1 Garry Malone 3rd Oct 2022

    Really disappointed by Watford Funeralcare service at a very stressful time.

  • 5 Susan Revell 3rd Oct 2022

    We as a family could not have found a more caring and compassionate funeral service. Everything was dealt with above and beyond our expectations and nothing was too much trouble. On the day everyone said how professional the Co-op were and stated they would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who had lost a loved one. A huge thank to everyone at the Watford office and also to Emma for conducting the funeral as if she knew Mum personally.
