Hello. The Co-Op Funeral service Gravesend for My Mother in 2021 & My Stepfather in December 2022, Both were Superb. Also the Celebrant Mr Roger Wheeler gave a Fantastic Service to show Total Respect to both my Departed Parents. I Would fully recommend the Co-Op Gravesend & Roger Wheeler to Everybody to conduct their Loved One's Funeral. Many Thanks for all you have done for me. Respects & Kind Regards, Mr Stephen Wood [ Son ]

  • 1 Susan Jeal 26th Oct 2022

    Never ever use Co-Op. The actual people on the day of the funeral were marvellous, could not have asked for more caring, helpful, polite team of people. However, everyone else we came in contact with, from the office to the Beareavement Team were inhuman robots.

    We were very pleased with the service we received. Regarding the funeral service itself, we were kept in frequent touch with the printing of the Order of Service and the end result was very good. All other instructions were very clear, so we had a stress-free day. Everyone concerned was kind and helpful so anxiety was kept to a minimum. Many thanks to all who were involved.
