Everything was handled accordingly, on time, with compassion and empathy. Very understanding and will cater to the needs of the family to make them most comfortable and give their family member the day of celebration that they deserve. Celebrant Dennis Silverlock is an outstanding man and will provide a lovely well spoken service.

  • 4 Robert Bound 20th Jun 2022

    The arrangements were dealt with with care and empathy, queries were dealt with attentively and everything was explained carefully and sympathetically. The celebrant we were referred to by the team in Shrewsbury was truly excellent and ensured my mother had a warm and appropriate service at the crematorium. We had one glitch, which was dealt with appropriately and quickly. I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Coop Shrewsbury.

  • 5 Carl Gittins 13th Jun 2022

    Nothing but praise from start to finish. Won't mention names, just like to say every colleague we met was nothing but kind, empathetic and professional.
    Everything went very smoothly and we had a lot of comments from people who attended saying as much as it is a sad day the service was amazing.
    Thank you to everybody involved

  • 4 Reginald Clarke 27th Apr 2022

    The Co-op Funeral Team in Shrewsbury showed respect and concern for our wellbeing during the lead-up to the funeral service and on the day and that was appreciated. The selection of the Celebrant for the service was well organised and well communicated.
    The service from the local London branch of Co-op Funeral Services left much to be desired however.

  • 5 Simon Morgan 20th Apr 2022

    The whole team at Shrewsbury were very professional and helpful from start to finish. They were very accommodating, welcoming and patient, assisting my sister's and I with the sad loss of our Mum. The funeral was conducted to a high standard, led by Josh the professionalism and respectful manner in which it was executed was brilliant with many family and friends commending their efforts.

    Thank you

  • 5 Janet James 21st Feb 2022

    After a worrying start, finding out that my plan was with a different branch of the organisation, with my nearest branch at Codsall. The staff at Shrewsbury took over, were extremely helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. Special thanks to Josh, Helen and Samantha.

    Thanks to Co-op Funeral Care

  • 5 Jane Little 31st Jan 2022

    Right from the very first phone call the whole experience was good. Joshua who dealt with us from the first meeting had just the right balance of sympathy, empathy and in our case humour. Everything was talked through and explained and I was able to call him about the slightest thing. Having paid for a funeral plan in advance was a massive help - you don't then have to talk costs, and that makes things so much easier to deal with. They went along with our quirky ideas for the ceremony, and I met those who were looking after my husband and trusted them to take care of him. On the day there was a balance of good oldfashioned etiquette and our individual requirements. Trusting someone in a tiem of bereavement is so important and I felt that they really cared and were there for me and the family.
