From the first day that we met Kayleigh to the day of the funeral where Steve was in attendance, I can honestly say the Co-op Funerals were amazing. 5 star rating is nit goid enough, it's more like 10 star. Thank you for taking care of our mum and guiding us through the whole process. Lyn and family

Len Phillips 10th Oct 2022

From start to finish the service I, and my family, was second to none.

Colin Craven 3rd Oct 2022

Everything went exactly as we had hoped. Our requirements were understood and dealt with both quickly and in a very professional manner.

  • 2 Anya Christian 29th Aug 2022

    When I was looking to pay for a funeral they were fantastic however when we decided to just go for a direct the service was awful. It was as if they did not care when they realised they were not making a lot of money. Shame really

  • 5 Raymond Birch 18th Jul 2022

    Beautiful service could not be better

  • 5 Louise Spry 27th Jun 2022

    I cannot recommend Kayleigh and her team highly enough.
    All the necessary arrangements were made quietly and efficiently. Kayleigh recommended a lovely celebrant, Helen, who was a true professional.
    The team that supported us on the day of the funeral were equally considerate.
    I particularly appreciated the follow up call a day or two later, checking that we were happy with everything.
    Thank you all so very much x

    Our family have used Co-Op Funeralcare services for many years.  Again at this difficult time for us all they were courteous, kind and professional throughout the organisation and in carrying out the funeral on the day.  Hopefully we won't need their services again for a while but they will always be our first choice.
