    I couldn't have asked for better service. Lovely compassionate, reassuring people who made a difficult and anxious time the best it could be. As a family, we have always used the Co-op and would never go anywhere else. Special thanks to Havva in the office and Rick who helped co-ordinated and helped me on the day.

  • 5 Karen Evans 9th Jan 2024

    Carli and Havva couid not have been more professional in helping my brothers and I to arrange our Mums funeral service. It was always going to be a difficult time, but both girls took the time to genuinely listen to us talking about Mum ,to explain our options and to help us to arrange the service Mum wanted. We asked for several amendments to the order of service, and these were made with no problems at all.
    On the day itself, the funeral director, Rick and his team made sure everything went smoothly, from picking us up at the house to taking us back. The whole team were smart, professional and showed a real desire to get things right for us.

  • 5 Joanne Wheeler 2nd Jan 2024

    For the last year and a half I have had to use the coop funeral directors they have been absolutely brilliant caring outstanding service 

  • 5 Barbara Gardner 11th Dec 2023

    Both of the assistants at the Rainham branch were sensitive and understanding. They dealt in a compassionate manner.
    What could have been traumatic experience was very calm.
    I have received a phone call to ask how I was.

    My only suggestion for an improvement is to have the deceased ashes delivered to the home address, not to have to collect them either from the crematorium or the co-op office. I feel that people would pay an extra fee for this.

  • 5 Ann Rolfe 7th Dec 2023

    I would like to thank Carli and Havva for their kind thoughts and sympathy and  help in arranging the funeral nothing was too much trouble also Matthew and pallbearers for their courtesy and respect to me and family.
    Thank you

  • 5 Carolyn Tovey 1st Nov 2023

  • 5 Anita Salisbury 31st Oct 2023

    Excellent service and support from my first contact with both Hubba and Carli. Very professional yet caring, patient and empathetic. As too was Rick at the crematorium and over the phone. I would strongly recommend the Rainham office. Thank you 

  • 5 Sharon Volney 26th Oct 2023

    Very helpful at a distressing time in a lovely calming way.

  • 5 Amanda Plumridge 16th Oct 2023

    The staff at Rainham co-op were absolutely wonderful Havva Kirsty and Rick when we first went in we so good and Matt and his team on the day of the funeral were so kind and caring I can’t thank them enough.

  • 5 Jane Clements 20th Sep 2023

    Havva was our main point of contact and was very considerate and professional at all times. Thank you Havva.

    To improve your service we do think that at the initial meeting, it would be usefull if relatives were advised to look on the Obitus Website to understand the correct procedure/requirements when using their service.

    Again we would like to thank all of you at the Rainham Branch of the 'Co-oP and at Bobbing Crematoriam, for helping us through this difficult time and for the lovely farewell to our Mum / Nan.
