  • 5 Shirley Legg 6th Feb 2023

    I can say the service that you gave was excelente .you went and gave aid and service when we need it,everyone one of your staff was very helpful

  • 4 Stuart Spears 31st Jan 2023

    The funeral itself was handled immaculately. Paul Newman was very helpful, helping to arrange a celebrant for the service and both explaining and advising on the service itself.

    My only slight concern was the difficulty in getting through to the local office initially to discuss the funeral. I appreciate that it is a small office and it will not always be possible to cover the phone, but perhaps the option to leave a message would be useful, rather than the calls being redirected to the head office in Manchester, who were unable to do more than offer to pass on a message.

  • 5 Susan Ryder 23rd Jan 2023

    Thank you

  • 4 Paul Bartlett 23rd Jan 2023

    All OK but I was promised a call after the direct cremation, but did not receive that

  • 3 Linda Rye 17th Jan 2023

    Annoyed that we were not informed of a clergy increase when we paid in full for the funeral. They would have given you more then 4 weeks notice of an increase that would start at the beginning of January 2023.  So we should not have received an invoice for the extra £22. This was your oversight and you should have absorbed it not us.   

    The music went on far to long for one of the hymns.
    Having the crematorium reject paperwork.

  • 5 Fay Horn 4th Jan 2023

  • 5 Gloria Kay Prior 7th Nov 2022

    I chose Co-op Funeral Care after hearing how professional they were and I was not disappointed. From the moment I met Andy he put me at ease and listened to the wishes of the family. He was kind and sympathetic to our needs and concerned for my welfare. Overall, he made a painful situation more bearable and I would totally recommend the Co-op Funeral Care.

  • 5 Andrew Best 31st Oct 2022

    From the first appointment with Paul Newman we was very impressed with the care and consideration shown by everyone.
    We left knowing our sister would be looked after and she was from start to finish everything was dealt with in a very caring way first class

  • 5 Jon Cook 31st Oct 2022

    The service provided by Co-op was excellent and took away a lot of the stress of the day for us.

    Paul, who was in charge of the day, was faultless. He showed utmost respect of the occasion at all times, ensured the day ran smoothly including keeping a long cortege of vehicles together to make the occasion special - I cannot thank him enough for what he did for us.

    Thank you again.
