I cannot find fault with the service provided by the coop funeral service. Lorraine at the woodville office was efficient professional and sympathetic with all that was involved with arranging my mother's funeral. I don't think it could have be carried out any better.

    As this was a restricted funeral with only 6 mourners allowed we could not have asked for a better. The Co_op funeral team were so supportive and the service was beautiful. Thank you to Amanda and her team.

  • 5 Matthew Whittemore 4th May 2020

    I can’t fault the co-op in any way in regards to arranging this funeral for us.  Your staff that were there on the day explained everything that was going to happen and what we needed to do. The whole process was made a lot easier with the help of Janice. Who was not only just helpful, but a pleasure to speak to. 

  • 5 Jackie Kelly 28th Apr 2020

    Obviously at the moment times have completely changed as well of this having the difficulty of loosing a loved one, and having to comply with government measures regarding a funeral, it’s hard. But with the support of the team ( especially Heidi who was amazing) I felt that they care and want the best for the family. Thank you so much for all your help and just for listening.

    I can’t thank you enough for making this a stress free experience, I really appreciate your complete professionalism, empathy and personal touches.
    Kind regards
