    The staff were always polite and there to answer many if the bewildering questions I had concerning my mum's funeral.

  • 5 Stephen Starkey 2nd Jan 2018

    Excellent service. Managed brilliantly.

  • 2 Julie Thurlow 25th Dec 2017

    I have been very disappointed with the whole process from failing to put the correct message in the Herald and the correct use of English grammar in the order of service. More attention to detail is needed, as every mistake you make is a reflection on the family.
    In addition I provided a stand for a photograph and it did not even appear by the coffin on the day - it disappeared!

    When I visited my father to say goodbye I was kept waiting for about 20 minutes - simply not good enough. It is a difficult experience but to wait makes it even worse.

    Glen Speak replied
    Dear Mrs Thurlow



    Although I am aware your funeral arranger personally apologised immediately upon discovering the error in the press notice please allow me to apologise on behalf of Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service. We strive to provided each and every client with the very highest levels of care and service and on this occasion it appears we have fell short of your expectations.

    Please be assured that we take our clients satisfaction very seriously so I will be investigating the issues you have mentioned and I will write to you personally with my findings.



    Kindest regards Glen Speak M.B.I.E. (Deputy general manager – Funeral)
