    With kindness, sensitivity, professionalism and compassion, that’s how I would describe the excellent service provided by the Whitstable funeral care team. I couldn’t be more grateful for their help and would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Louise Piper 27th Nov 2023

  • 5 Mark Newton 31st Oct 2023

    The service provided was impeccable.

  • 5 Philip Atherton 19th Sep 2023

    Such sensitive understanding from Drayson and the Co-op at Whitstable. The circumstances were a challenge but I couldn’t have asked for more. Great support without being intrusive.

  • 5 Stuart Fisher 18th Sep 2023

    Excellent service.

  • 5 Jonathan Marsland 13th Sep 2023

    very caring and compassionate at a difficult time thank you

  • 4 Patricia Lee-Smith 22nd Jul 2023

    Whilst everything was dealt with efficiently, with caring and super attention, it would be so much more helpful if this branch was staffed for 5 days, not 3 as at present. At such emotional times it is important to be able to speak to your contact. I reported my husbands passing away on a Friday and could not liaise with my contact until Tuesday. Later I also had a query on a Friday which was again shelved until Tuesday.

  • 5 Simon PrettyJohn 10th Jul 2023

    Excellent service, highly professional and best of all, respectful and kind.

  • 5 Shirlie Randall 1st Jul 2023

    I cannot thank you enough for making a very tough time so easy. From the second we stepped through your doors right to the very end, you executed everything perfectly. Drayson and Sally were so kind and once again thank you so much!

  • 5 Jennifer Ting 23rd Jan 2023

    From my first appointment with Sally to the day of Carl’s funeral, the service provided was impeccable, friendly and yet professional. 
    We cannot thank Sally, Drayton and Ryan (not forgetting the drivers) enough for the care that they provided. 

  • 5 Paul Thomson 14th Dec 2022

    Very efficient and helpful. Offered great advice and nothing was too much trouble.
    Drayson was superb.

  • 5 Cath Jones 15th Nov 2022

    I cannot fault the service provided by Sally at Whitstable Funeralcare (COOP). From the very first phone call, Sally was sympathetic and efficient. I cannot think of any way in which things could have been improved. She made every effort to make every single of our wishes possible. Brilliant and compassionate service. The same goes for all the members of staff involved on the day of the actual funeral, Drayson and the team of pall bearers were perfect.

  • 5 Peter Wayne Andrews 15th Nov 2022

    Very patient and caring,more than helpfull in more ways than one, which took some of the burdam away from me and my family,

  • 5 Jonathan Bolding 3rd Oct 2022

    The people on the day were amazing and couldn't thank them enough

  • 5 Margaret Calarco 13th Sep 2022

    I have used in the past few months the Co-Opp funeral service at Whitstable and I’m very impressed by the service l received. Sally and particularly Clayton the funeral director couldn’t have done more. They exceeded the service l received and made me  feel very comfortable in the hard time I incurred losing my mother and brother. I have arranged my own funeral in London with the co-opp. Thank you all at whitstable and Canterbury.

  • 5 Michael Devine 15th Aug 2022

    The staff were very friendly and attentive. It was so easy to make small changes to everything. Thank you

  • 5 Wendy Pickering 15th Aug 2022

    The professional and kind manner from the Whitstable team made what could have been an awkward and uncomfortable process significantly easier.
    Gentleness and good humour won the day and I am grateful for all their support.

  • 5 Paula Spencer 8th Aug 2022

    The service by both the Co-op in Whitstable and in Faversham was second to none. I couldn't have asked for more care, attention or understanding, and the event was intimate, beautiful, and exactly what my sister wanted. I would thoroughly recommend the Co-op to anyone.

  • 5 Samantha Bell 25th Jul 2022

    I have rated them excellent as I have received overall support from Keris and Sally and cannot thank them enough at this time not only for myself,but my family and friends of my mum. They have not only been extremely professional, but also helped in offering their emotional support by talking things through the process.
