  • 5 Suzanne Grant 20th Feb 2023

    Nicola and Mark were very helpful and they did everything we needed and wanted and everything went very smoothly on the day.

    The only thing I felt was missing was from the administrative side. I didn't get a confirmation in writing of the dates, times, music and other bits etc. This would have been more reassuring to have had an email or confirmation letter with all these details on.

  • 5 Elizabeth Giuarlarocca 20th Feb 2023

    Nicola at Walderslade branch was wonderful throughout, compassionate, caring and ensured everything we requested that was needed was carried out in good time to ensure the least stress possible. In what is naturally a very distressing time Nicola was very supportive and made sure all was done to provide a lovely service. The funeral director and staff were also excellent.

  • 5 Peter Crawford 5th Oct 2022

    Nicola at the coop funeral directors was amazing . She handled everything so professional and was seamless from start to finish. I asked her to basically sort everything to take the pressure off of me, from flowers , order of service etc etc . She was there for me every step of the way and I can't thank her enough . She recommended the celebrant to take the service and Michael was excellent on the day as were the whole coop team . They were so respectful to everyone at the service. This was a 10/10 service and would recommend Nicola and her team to anyone . Regards Peter Crawford
