The whole team were lovely from calling to collect my father's body to meeting in their offices, and guidance and support on the day.  The cars were immaculate and perfect for my Dad (he loved Jaguar cars).   The only thing that would have made the total service excellent is if the management of all the funeral music was managed by the team.  We had to organise the music for the church, which was fine but during these difficult times, it would have been nice to just be able to send all music information to the team and not have to worry about again.  That said, we were very happy , thank you to the whole Co-op team

    The only thing that would have made the total service excellent is if the management of all the funeral music was managed by the team.  We had to organise the music for the church, which was fine but during these difficult times, it would have been nice to just be able to send all music information to the team and not have to worry about again.  That said, we were very happy , thank you to the whole Co-op team

    The Co-op have been incredible throughout this very sad time. Dawn was lovely and supportive and most importantly, there at the end of the phone whenever I had any questions.
    From the initial collection of my husband to the service, the whole team showed such dignity and respect to us all and allowed us to give my husband the heartfelt send off that he deserved.

    Everyone we came into contact with was professional but always kind and caring. Janice gently helped us navigate through the process. Everything was clearly explained and questions answered. The day itself ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for more at what is a very difficult time and would highly recommend the Co-op funeral service.

    The team at the co op were amazing and walked me through every step of the way. At such a traumatic time you need people who understand what you are going through and these guys were very thoughtful and made mums funeral very special. I was arranging it all from overseas but that didn’t pose a problem at all, I would highly recommend them.

    Eveofrom the first meetin the office to the funeral itself was efficient, respectful and considerate. I cannot recommend them more . The whole experience was so much easier due to the professionalism of the staff and the company. We had flowers, order of service and catering in the package. They were so thoughtful and so efficient , nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.
