At this difficult time each member of staff handle everything with the utmost care and respect. We couldn’t fault anything from the moment we entered their office to the actual day because they communicated and advised throughout   I can’t thank them enough for all their help and guidance   Nothing was too much trouble and you were never rushed to make a decision at this difficult time   10 out of 10

  • 5 Valerie Swingler 13th Jul 2022

    From the minute my sister and I entered your premises nothing was too much trouble.  Shirley went above and beyond and helped us all through the process. On the day of the funeral Matt was exceptional and so kind towards me and my sister and all the family.  Could not have asked for anything more. Also the celebrant Scott who helped us give my Mum a great send off was great as well .  

  • 5 Wendy Everitt 4th Jul 2022

    Couldn’t have been more caring, and empathic with how I was feeling, made me feel I could ask questions 10 times a day and it wouldn’t be too much trouble, both ladies made me feel so much at ease and made a hard job for me that much easier, couldn’t thank them enough

  • 5 Sandra Donnelly 21st Jun 2022

    Care and attention to every detail. Couldn't have wished for better. Wonderful staff that looked after us from the very beginning to the last.

  • 5 Nalini Vaughan 13th Jun 2022

    Can’t fault the guidance , attention to detail and teamwork between staff. Shirley and Mat were very good at supporting the family to the very final moments of the service, showing a care and interest which allowed them to deal calmly and discreetly with the last minute situations that cropped up; nothing to do with the co-op but dealt with them superbly. 
    Reassuring to the last . Thank you. John and family. 

  • 5 Maureen Shipley 9th Jun 2022

    Shirley at the Gravesend branch couldn't have been more helpful. She was very efficient and took care of all the admin together with the finest of details.

  • 5 Sandra Franklin 7th Jun 2022

    From the first I initial enquiry to the face to face consultation to finalise funeral arrangements to the actual day of funeral was a first class service. Special thanks to Emma & Matt for your support  and especially the brilliant celebrant Nina.
    Thank you all so much from all of the Franklin family.

  • 5 Lynne Cunningham 6th Jun 2022

    We found everyone that we dealt with at the Co-op were very professional whilst also being very kind and understanding, excellent service all round.

  • 5 Jason Holt 30th May 2022

    Worked with Charlene to arrange everything and she kept me up to date with what was going on even though I was mostly in another country. All went smoothly.

  • 4 Patricia Poulson 30th May 2022

    Everything was beautifully handled with professionalism and compassion. However, other mourners informed after the funeral that they were not informed that there was a collection box, should they wish to make a donation, next to the flowers and, as these were on a fairly high shelf it was not very obvious. Also, once the four main mourners had left the chapel the rest were left in limbo not sure what to do!
    Despite this slight niggle, I would readily recommend your company to others.

  • 5 Denis King 30th May 2022

    Well organised and everything went to plan. Met all expectations.

  • 5 Justin Byhurst 23rd May 2022
