Peter Curt 19th Feb 2024

Both my parents funerals have been dealt with by Co-op in Sale in last 2 months. The service offered was excellent with the perfect blend of sympathy and efficiency. All information was provided promptly and accurately. I hopefully will not require again but I would thoroughly recommend this service.

They helped us in every way they possibly could. They even put my sons nickname on his nameplate, which I didn't ask them to, but was so happy when I saw it. It wasn't something I thought was possible. It meant a lot to us. My son would have been happy with it too.

  • 5 Jo Knighting 2nd Jan 2024

    Wonderful support all the way through from Julie and on the day from Francesca. Couldn’t have asked for more on helping us through this difficult time. Christian as the celebrant was super and carried out the service beautifully.  Thank you all round. 

  • 5 Jillian Lomax 2nd Jan 2024

    Thank you for handling dad's funeral arrangements with such compassion and understanding, it took such a weight off my shoulders.

  • 5 Clare Noakes 18th Dec 2023

    The ladies I dealt with at Co-op were a credit to the organisation. Julie, Gina and Francesca were all exceptional. They treated our family with warmth and sensitivity and it made it so much easier for me. I am extremely grateful and would whole heatedly recommend them. The Celebrant Christian was also absolutely amazing and his interpretation of our notes regarding dad was exceptional. It was as if he had known him! Thank you all, it really is appreciated.

  • 5 Claire Henderson 27th Nov 2023

    The team in Sale gently helped us navigate through the process of organising a funeral which I’ve never done before. Julie was very kind and thoughtful in her approach. The Funeral Director and the team on the day were brilliant and ensured everything went smoothly on the day. Thank you!

  • 5 Jane Payne 3rd Jul 2023

    Staff were very kind, courteous & helpful at a very difficult time

  • 5 Jean Eaglestone 3rd Jul 2023

    The funeral was very well organised and everything was as we wanted it to be. Thank you to Glenys, Tina, Julie and Francesca for all you help and support for Caroline and myself. Also thank you for recommending Christian Blake the celebrant who did an excellent funeral service ...just what we wanted for Dave.

  • 1 Victoria Smith 30th Jun 2023

    I had to chase the funeral director numerous times the day before as we had not heard of them and had no idea what time we were being picked up or any logistics.  On the day the funeral director was 25 minutes late and we raced to the funeral. I rang her mobile numerous times but she did not answer my calls on the emergency mobile number she gave me! Not  much use in an emergency like it was when calls are not answered! My husband and I had to call the head office to get help as we were worried and panicking and the local office was constantly engaged.  It was very disrespectful, we raced to the crematorium- I hope nobody has the same experience as we had in the day. It was very disappointing and can honestly say I cannot recommend.

  • 5 Adrian Ward 27th Feb 2023

    Everything was as I asked for , could not fault the service or staff.
    Used this branch 2 years ago, and will do so in the future

  • 5 Lesley Sudall 20th Feb 2023

    Very caring supportive and respectful 

  • 5 Susan Christine Smith 4th Jan 2023

    We were very pleased with the professionalism and kindness of Julie, Gina and Francesca. A difficult time was made much easier with their continued support. I was regularly contacted and made to feel that I could contact them with any query. The flowers were beautiful, the Order of Service was lovely and every aspect of the day of the funeral and the service just what we wanted and what Mum would have wished. I recommend Sale Co Op Funeral Service without any reservation.

  • 5 Laura Ikin 3rd Jan 2023

    Julie and Gina were so helpful both were kind and considerate nothing was too much trouble I went in initially to see Julie who was very professional very thorough and guided me through everything with ease I could call and ask any questions of either of them they were very easy to talk to 
    and made a daunting task simple 
    I’d like to thank them both for their time and their help I will definitely use Co op Sale again
    Also a big thanks to Tracey the funeral director for her help on the day Laura 

  • 5 Cheryl Walsh 12th Dec 2022

    Highly recommended. Personal and supportive. 

  • 5 Charles Ramwell 5th Dec 2022

    no problems,our questions answered in a friendly corteous way and all done profesionally at the price quoted

  • 3 Wendy Schofield 7th Nov 2022

    We were disappointed that the original quote we received was wrong and a large item had been missed off, meaning that the funeral cost more than originally priced.  
    We didn’t receive much help
    with the order of service, just given a booklet. Our celebrant helped us with it and we were pleased with how it looked. 
    Communication wasn’t great, regarding the order of service and also final plans. We had to chase both up. We didn’t receive a return phone call re final plans till around 3:30 the afternoon before. 
    The cars were just over 5 mins late on the morning of the funeral, which isn’t a lot but caused our family a lot of anxiety at a difficult time. 
    Francesca was very nice, calm and friendly. 

  • 4 Roy Norris 31st Oct 2022

    Very good and professional

  • 4 June Whalley 14th Sep 2022

    The ladies at Marsland road we’re very helpful . The branch is small and I found it frustrating to arrive with his clothes & no one to be there. On ringing their number get central office where lots of questions & still no help . The time when he was in chapel was do short it was awkward to get in to see him fir those who wanted to . Also the time to leave the house was not given until very late afternoon the day before funeral . The actual day went very well .
    Thankyou Gina, Julie & Francesca
