Rosemary Jenkins 8th Jun 2022

My husband, Philip Jenkins, funeral was handled with much care and attention and I just want to thank Mike Hale and all the staff at the Coop Funeral Care in Morpeth for how professionally and personally they carried out their duties. 

Geoffrey Dick 6th Jun 2022

From start to finish Roy (funeral director) and Julie in the office were totally professional , warm and approachable - we were consulted all the way through this sad time, supported and advised and plenty of personal contact and courtesy calls before during and after. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was handled with love and care, cannot thank them enough and the team who carried the coffin etc were also very good too.

  • 5 Dawn Adamson 30th May 2022

    From my very first phone call to the funeral directors to the funeral itself the service I received from all involved was outstanding. Very professional, friendly, caring and above and beyond helpful. I couldn't fault anything and will be forever grateful for all they did for my uncle and myself. Thank you to everyone involved.

  • 2 Unice O'Reilly 3rd May 2022

    The funeral director was late to our first meeting. On more than one occasion misspelt my name. Gave advice that proved to be incorrect. Asked me to check on floral tributes at his office and didn't appear to know where the church was.
    On the other hand Julie and Jackie were very efficient

    Excellent service from the entire team. Great communication and excellent attention to detail. Kirsty was a very attentive FD and certainly went more than the extra mile to provide the service we requested. Many thanks also to our driver, Keith who did everything possible to give my father the send off he deserved.

  • 5 Tina Pattison 14th Apr 2022

  • 5 Susan Owens 5th Apr 2022

    The service from the outset was very respectful and professional. 

  • 5 Judith Walker 4th Apr 2022

  • 5 Jane Elliott 28th Mar 2022

  • 5 Carol Dunn 22nd Mar 2022

    Professional and personal from first point of contact and throughout the whole process.

  • 3 Dale Aitkenhead 15th Mar 2022

    Whilst having the direct funeral service explained to myself & sister mid way through the phone rang and was answered. There then followed what seemed like a conversation between colleagues whilst we were sat there looking at each other. At a particularly distressing time for ourselves this was not particularly professional or appropriate in my opinion. Once the telephone call was finished we were asked “now where were we ?”
    I should have complained earlier and was given the opportunity by your call centre but at the time was too distressed to do so. 

    Kate Harling replied
    We are sorry to hear that you have been dissatisfied with aspects of our service.

Thank you for highlighting this, we’d really appreciate you allowing us to respond to you at this difficult time.
  • 5 Annie Lloyd 14th Mar 2022

    This is the only funeral I've ever had to plan, and I just didn't have a clue! But the Coop guided me through every stage, making me feel extremely well supported, and assured that things would be done perfectly. I particularly liked the clarity with which information was presented, as my brain was fogged particularly that first fortnight. The willow coffin, the flowers and the stationery options were all just beautiful; they catered for our wish to keep everything simple and rustic. On the day, the staff were utterly professional, discreet and beautifully supportive. All in all I felt we got an excellent service, and would recommend them without hesitation.
