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.

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.

    From start to finish the consummate professionals, but never losing that kind, sympathetic edge. Nothing was to much trouble & on the funeral day Rick & his team were that smooth & thoroughly experienced they blended seamlessly in to the peripheral ,doing a superb job. The day was effortless & being the bereaved I was top priority at all times. If there were any problems, I was completely unaware, that's how professional they are. Highly recommended

  • 5 Belinda Wilkins 21st Aug 2023

    So caring and helpfull, very patient. The funeral was lovely, all my wishes were Carried out. A big thankyou to everyone involved.

  • 5 June Massey 17th Aug 2023

    I cannot praise enough the commitment, care and efficiency of the team at the Rainham office. The two women Havva and Carli, who handled the administrative side, could not have done more. The funeral went off without a hitch and the bearer team were superb. We had no idea how much was involved in arranging a funeral and were so impressed by the knowledge and efficiency of the two women who basically carried us all the way through this heartrending time. We cannot thank them enough for their assistance and the quiet sympathy they offered us.

  • 5 Paul Chamberlain 24th Jul 2023

    All staff at the co-op funeral care Rainham were very professional from the girls in the office to the funeral director on the day of the service.
    Nothing was too much trouble. Any questions we had were responded to quickly.
    They helped guide and advise but most of all listened to what we would like.
    They were diplomatic and sensitive when asking questions in the planning.
    Would totally recommend to anyone.
    Thank you all so much for being kind and caring and making the whole process as easy as it could be.

  • 5 Lynda Murphy 3rd Jul 2023

    Havva and Carli were amazing, they both made the very difficult process of organising my Mum's funeral as stress free as possible.

    They explained the whole process and made a very emotional meeting bearable.

    I would definitely recommend the 'Coop Funeral Care Rainham Kent'

  • 5 Honor Wright 20th Jun 2023

    From Carli & Haava in Rainham Branch to Matt the Funeral Director and his crew they were all extremely helpful and respectful taking our wishes into consideration. Every query that was put them was answered on the same day.

  • 5 Iain Booth 21st Feb 2023

    From the moment we spoke to Carli & Havva our experience from start to finish was exemplary.
    Nothing was too much trouble & we were kept informed on a regular basis. We have used the Co op for a number of years now & would 100% recommend to friends.

    Very pleased with the the two girls who have shown compassion at my loss they are a credit to yourselves thank you very much. Yours sincerely John mulligan

  • 5 Petra Morgan 20th Feb 2023

    Right form the start, we received a first class service from both Havva and Carli in the Rainham Branch. They were warm, caring and thoroughly professional. Havva went out of her way to ensure we received the best possible service for mum, including finding a particular minister to lead the service. She was thoughtful and understanding, and her carefully chosen, sensitive language when talking about mum was greatly appreciated. From those who collected mum's body on the first day, through to the team on the day leading the procession and those who printed and produced such a wonderful order of service the service we received was excellent. I cannot fault any of them, they should be proud of their efforts and they all deserve recognition. Thank you.

  • 5 John Robson 1st Feb 2023

  • 4 Alan Godman 26th Jan 2023

    Very good service provided, very caring staff . Thank you 

  • 5 Caroline Grabham 3rd Jan 2023

    The new Direct Funeral Service was perfect. The video was done with compassion and will mean so much to all the family. The fact that we were able to personalise the Cremation with songs and photographs of our choice, was so comforting. The option to dress dad in his favourite clothes, to choose the colour of the lining of his coffin and to be able to choose the style of his coffin instead of having the standard one, meant that the service was much more personal for the family. The choice of readings was good and we were able to choose one that was appropriate for how we all felt. The staff were wonderful. Kind, caring and guided us through the service. Will always recommend you.

  • 5 Mandy Lovejoy 3rd Jan 2023
