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! 

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. 

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

  • 5 Ruth Graydon 5th May 2025

    The Co-op Funeral Service was fantastic from start to finish. They were professional and caring at every opportunity. All staff were helpful on the day, they made the funeral itself run smoothly and enabled the family to concentrate on saying goodbye. Nothing was too much trouble. We were very impressed with the treatment that we received and will use the Co-op Funeral service in the future.

  • 5 Leanne Leishman 8th Apr 2025

    Mandy did an amazing job organising Mum’s funeral as it wasn’t straight forward or local. I can’t thank her enough or anyone else who was involved. We were guided through everything on the day and Mum had a lovely send off. 
    Apart from a mix up with the ashes & the flowers were very poor, everything else went smoothly. This is the third time we’ve used this company. 

  • 5 Linda Packer 4th Apr 2025
