What a team of people!  compassionate, caring, efficient, helpful, personable & professional are just some of the words that spring to mind. From our first meeting with Leah, to the continued help of Mandy, and Kerry was amazing on the day.  As a family we can’t thank the COOP team enough for making a very sad time, much more bearable.  Well done!!!

We used the coop for my mums funeral and they were fantastic. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They were so respectful and the staff on the day put us all at ease. I would 100% recommend using them.

  • 5 Grant Hughes 8th Sep 2025

    Big thank you to everyone at the Co-op, especially to Leah, Mandy and Glenn for all of their help and support in giving my father a  respectful and proper send off. We felt supported throughout.

  • 5 Stephen Kennedy 2nd Sep 2025

    The staff are so very helpful especially Dawn and Chloe couldn't of asked for any one better

  • 5 Catherine Harvey 30th Aug 2025

    From the first initial meeting everything went at the right pace, nothing too much trouble, nothing was rushed. The recommendation of Tony Rabin as the Celebrant was the beyond perfect. A meeting with Tony to discuss the order and content of the service resulted in a word and pitch perfect celebration of my auntie's life. I would encourage anyone seeking support at such a sad and final life event to choose the Coop and Mr Rabin.

  • 5 Janice Henry 19th Aug 2025

    Such a beautiful experience they went above and beyond for us and he had a wonderful send off 

  • 5 Asmita Coates 12th Aug 2025

    The service we received at such a devastating time was truly remarkable professionalism coupled with the personal touch. Nothing was too much on the lead up to the funeral and even the support on the day was truly amazing. Highly recommended! 

  • 5 Kerry Kerr 28th Jul 2025

    My dad’s funeral service was conducted in a very professional manner. All the staff were very nice and nothing was too much trouble. I was kept up to date every step of the way. Would highly recommend. 

  • 4 Emma Taylor 25th Jul 2025

    Very good, professional and caring services. The funeral service itself was lovely. Nick, the celebrant did an excellent job. We were so pleased.
    We dealt with lots of different people who were all very nice, just a shame it wasn't a consistent person.
    A couple of things like information of the webcast, visual slideshow and the catering service information were not given as an option or explained. We had to ask about the webcast, the cenrant told us about the slideshow and we didn't know about the catering service. It would have been nice to get all of this information in the first meeting to be able to choose them.

  • 5 Alison Archer 15th Jul 2025

    Excellent service, everyone was friendly, caring and helpful. Made everything a little less stressful in a very upsetting situation and the funeral went exactly how we wanted it.

  • 5 Teresa O'Connor 13th Jun 2025

    If you’re reading this, it likely means you’re navigating a difficult and sorrowful time with your family, and I truly empathise with you. However, I can genuinely say that the staff here are remarkable—they go the extra mile to provide comfort and support during such moments. They take great care in ensuring your loved ones look their best in the chapel of rest. A special shoutout to Shelly; her compassion and understanding made a significant difference for me, and I can only imagine how challenging that must have been for her. Truly top-notch service!

  • 5 Kathryn Sandland 3rd Jun 2025

    We only have praise for the staff of the Co-op Funeral Service at Tamworth. They have been kind and sensitive throughout, from my Mum’s death to her funeral and beyond. Meeting with Leah at the Bereavement Centre answered our questions and helped plan the funeral and nothing has been too much trouble for her or for Mandy, who checked how we were doing, a few days after the Service. On the day of the funeral, Andy and his team were excellent too. Unobtrusive, considerate and dignified - my Mum would have been very impressed. 

  • 5 Alan Cooper 1st Jun 2025

  • 5 Heather Chacksfield 19th May 2025

    Words cannot express how thankful we are for looking after myself and my family, after the sad loss of my husband Robin, we especially want to thank Dawn, Hailey, Kerry and Paul for taking such special care of Robin and treating him with such dignity and kindness. Dawn and Hayley were so kind and helpful and guided us through what we had to do and nothing was too much trouble before , during and after Robins funeral. We would also like to thank Nick our Celebrant who helped us to put together our order of service and also being so kind and thoughtful. Nick gave a lovely service and really looked after us. Thank you to Kerry and Paul who looked after us all on the day.
    Dawn thank you for being so caring and being so kind we wouldn't have got through the funeral without all of you xx

  • 5 Judith Davies 11th May 2025

    Treated with utmost dignity and kindness . Everything was explained fully and nothing was too much in helping us . Full support given . It was all beautifully done .

  • 5 Karen Booth 7th May 2025

    At the hardest time in our lives on losing our mum the Co-op were our biggest god send. From start to finish they navigated us through difficulties making life much easier with constant communication and support. Abigail telephoned to let me know mum’s body had been received from hospital and assured me several times with different queries.
    Dawn lead us through the necessities and reassured and gave us invaluable advice as well as introducing us to an amazing celebrant Becky.
    Finally Tony, our director on the day of mum’s funeral showed such compassion and service that I could not have asked for anything more.
    I really am extremely grateful for the level of service and professionalism shown by Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service.
