5 Felicity Margolis 4th Mar 2021

.........we were so grateful not only for your good advice, Helen, but for your endless patience and kindness shown towards us. You and Jodie were so good, answering so many questions and putting our minds at rest. You enabled us to make our brother's send off a real celebration of his life. We were very pleased with the Order of Service, the choice of coffin and the flower sprays were really superb – bright and beautiful and just the right size. The Celebrant was absolutely brilliant, before, during and after the funeral! Although there were only three actual family members in the crematorium on the day, it didn’t feel like it. The Celebrant had woven together memories and photographs and the beautiful music into a very moving, but joyful tribute that drew us all together and it felt like he really cared about what my brother would have wanted. This was a huge comfort. We have had SO many lovely comments about how wonderful the funeral was, literally from all over the world! I would most certainly highly recommend your services to anyone in the future. Thank you so much.

5 Katy Woloch 7th Dec 2020

The care and compassion showed to us whilst we were arranging our final farewells to my Dad was exemplary. I didn't have to worry about a single thing, the staff at the Shrewsbury Co op funeral services talked me through everything. The celebrant they arranged for me to take Dad's service was a wonderful man. The dignity they all showed us and my beloved Dad was wonderful. The service itself was beautiful and I can't praise the staff enough. At the saddest time of my life, these people made things easier for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - all of you. I truly am grateful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you arrange a funeral?

You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.

How can I get help with funeral costs?

If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
