    Emma was such a comfort & easy to deal with. She was Happy to rung & email details & send paper copies to my Dad. Mum's funeral was the best it could be. Jenny & her staff put us at ease & directed us when we needed it. Overall I would totally recommend Strood Coop.

  • 4 Andy Kebbell 13th Nov 2023

    If the review were for the service given from the Strood and Chatham branch, and the professionalism of the undertakers on the day of the funeral, it would definitely be 5 stars. However, the review must include the call centre.

    I don't know whether it is a training issue or a total lack of interest in the job, but the initial conversation was diabolical.

    Such a shame, as it really let everyone else down.

  • 5 Nina Froggatt 30th Oct 2023

    Emma at the Strood branch was very sincere and was very helpful through a very difficult time.  The celebrant was very professional and made my brothers service very personal, it was like  Nina new my brother.  From start to finish the coop funeral service has helped me through one of the most difficult time I’ve had to deal with. Thank you.

    Issey was great at our time of sadness. She was emphatic, professional and kind. Just a shame we couldn’t see the whole funeral arrangements through with her as my loved one was at a different branch and then we dealt with somebody else.

Big thanks as well to Mark who directed things on the day, and Robin the celebrant who was fantastic. 

  • 5 Jan Blease 28th Nov 2022

    Everyone at the Co-op involved with arrangements, from removal of the deceased, making the arrangements for the funeral to attending the crematorium have been exceptional. We could not have been in better hands. We are so glad we had a Co-op funeral plan because all that was needed was one telephone call and everything fell into place after that.
