A beautiful funeral service and experience for our family. Amanda was amazing, so warm and friendly and made everything seem so seamless and easy. The day of the funeral itself was so dignified from start to finish, I really can't praise the funeral service enough. The celebrant Nicola was such a lovely warm, empathetic woman and she delivered a moving and very personal service. Although my dad's death at 98 was so sad, the hurt and pain was really helped by these funeral directors and I would highly recommend them . Thank you so much.

    Co-op funeral directors on Albert Road in Farnworth were 100% supportive with a funeral that was planned in advance. They were very professional, accommodating, helped with all aspects of the funeral, especially Sharon. From the beginning to the end Sharon and the team made sure nothing went wrong and it didn't. Everyone complimented on the service and extended this to the Co-op and the celebrant. We'll done everyone at the Co-op. Thanks also for referring Alison the celebrant she was really wonderful

  • 5 Ann Smee 22nd Nov 2023

    We feel our family benefited from taking out her funeral plan and making her wishes known. Together with the support of Rianne at the coop it made matters so much easier at a very sad time.

  • 5 Karen Darlington 21st Nov 2023

    From initial contact until after the funeral service, Rianne and her colleagues were professional and compassionate. Processes and practices were explained in relation to my fathers funeral plan, and we were provided with related documentation to make decisions regarding, flowers, order of service etc. We were not rushed at any point.
    I received regular calls from Rianne to keep me updated, and to check how the family was coping. Our questions were answered fully. Nothing was too much trouble.
    On the day of the service, the cars arrived on time and the drivers introduced themselves which I thought was a nice touch. They were very patient with us.
    I would definitely recommend Coop Funeral Care Farnworth. My mother also has a funeral plan with the Coop, and due to my recent experience, I feel reassured that the same care and attention will be afforded to us when the time comes.

  • 5 Claire Williams 29th Aug 2023

    Freya was looked after beautifully by Sharon and all the team were respectful and kind. Sharon helped to make the worst time of my life slightly bearable with her kind gestures and making Freya as comfortable as possible even putting music on for her so she wasn’t in silence. Nothing can take away the pain of losing my daughter but Sharon was so patient and understanding and in this awful time I felt like she genuinely had our best interests at heart. Even the little touches such as wearing a stitch hair decoration on Freyas day was just so lovely and the pictures made for her room. Thank you Sharon and the Farnworth team
