Me and my family were greeted with empathy and sympathy from everyone at the coop although we were going through a traumatic time they made the process more bearable with answering our questions and knowing they were taking care of everything took the emence pressure from our shoulders and they remained in contact with us the whole time and a few days after the service.

  • 5 Beverley Lendrem 4th Jan 2023

    Thoughtful and helpful.

  • 5 Margy Tasker-Brown 4th Jan 2023

    Everyone was impressed by the presence and professionalism of Chris Foggon , the way he dealt with the whole process was exemplary. I felt I had total confidence and the family appreciated his calm and dignified manner.
    In fact many people commented on actually "What a good funeral it was"
    Which at the very least made me smile.
    I thank everyone who worked on it.

  • 4 Fiona Kennedy 3rd Jan 2023

    Roy, our Funeral Director, was helpful and courteous. He dealt as diplomatically as possible with the ghastly fact that, due to an employee's dementia, and my having being unable to afford a headstone, Rothbury Cemetery had lost my father's grave. My partner and I had to visit the churchyard to identify it as best we could.

    On the day of the funeral itself, the funeral services performed their duties perfectly.

  • 5 Sara Malley 3rd Jan 2023

    From the first point of contact to today, when I paid the bill and collected my husband's ashes, I can honestly say the service was exemplary. Nothing was rushed, there was no pressure to rush through choices or spend more than was affordable, and everything was explained clearly, simply and patiently. It felt as though I was their only client but I know they were actually really busy - and this was over the Christmas holiday with all the extra stress that everyone is under at that time of year, whether they are bereaved or not. They were professional, kind, considerate and patient and everyone involved worked well together to ease the inevitable grief and stresses of the occasion. I am extremely grateful to them all.

  • 5 Simon Price 3rd Jan 2023

  • 5 Paula Bland 12th Oct 2022

    Truly deserves a 5 star review. The standard of service was impeccable as was our very caring and immaculately presented funeral director Chris. We couldn’t have wished for any better service for my beloved Dad. He deserved the best and that’s exactly what Co-op Alnwick gave us. Thank you 

  • 5 Janice Johnson 21st Sep 2022

    The team from Amble and Alnwick especially Roy were first class in every way.  Roys attention to detail was amazing leaving nothing to chance.  His guidance to my nephews as pallbearer’s was so helpful they calmly did their duty to their Grandmother. We were never hurried throughout our sorrow, he calmly guided us through the day.

    The duty funeral director first met with me late on a Sunday afternoon and throughout they were excellent, helpful, friendly and helped guide us through a difficult time.

  • 5 Janet Birch 23rd Aug 2022

    From the first visit the customer service was first class. Roy from Amble went above and beyond to put our minds at rest. Talked us through all the details of the funeral ceremony and even sourced a piper for us. Cannot fault the care and dedication shown at a time of grieving.
