.........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.

    We found the way you conducted your business was excellent and frankly, faultless. All aspects were covered well, from preliminary contact through administration and the funeral itself. Very professional. Your choice of ‘celebrant’ was also well received by the attendees.
    Thanks to all.

    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.
