    Everyone was very understanding and very professional. The funeral director Matthew and his team where great. The person who did mums makeup and dressed her fid a wonderful job. She looked so peaceful. Shirley in the funeral parlour was very supportive and did a wonderful job. At a time which is so hard I would recommend Gravesend co OP to people for your compassion and professionalism. From the Jacob's family.

    There was a bit of a lack of communication but I think a lot of that had to do with Lauren going off sick which you couldn't do anything about.

    Second time within a year we have used co-op Milton Road, and I can’t praise them enough for their hard work during such difficult times. Great service from Lauren who kept me updated throughout and responded to any questions and queries quickly and professionally. It made organising the funeral stress free and knowing that my nan was in great care. Grahame and the pallbearers were amazing on the day of the funeral. Highly recommend.
