  • 5 Peter Lenney 9th Jan 2023

    Vanessa and the team at Coop Dale Hall Lane Ipswich were brilliant when arranging my Step-dad's funeral. Everything was explained clearly and concisely yet with compassion for our loss and professionalism. The bearers were also professional and courteous when relaying instruction to the family bearers. Would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

    Nice friendly staff 

  • 5 Claire List 12th Dec 2022

    From the first phone call, Sarah and Vanessa have been amazing, have been there to listen and made everything perfect for my daddy's send off. I was fortunate enough to visit my dad nearly every day, cup of tea and a friendly face to comfort whilst I reflected and remembered stories of my dad. Mark too and Patrick were excellent. I cannot begin to thank you all for looking after my daddy (and me) so well. I would highly recommend the Ipswich coop funeralcare they have all gone above and beyond their duty of care. Thank you xxx

    I have already written directly to the funeral director and I  am happy for them to share this review. To summarise - all staff of the Co-op funeral care were professional, sympathetic and acted with complete respect. 

  • 5 Shana Yarnell 22nd Nov 2022

    I could not have asked for anything more from the Co-op. They were supportive and understanding throughout a very difficult time. Thank-you all. Shana

  • 4 Lyn Lynch 14th Nov 2022

    I was very impressed with this Funeral Service, they helped and sorted out everything. My problem is the same as with everything else in this day and age, everything is done online, which is no fault of the company.
    I had to reply on my daughter  much more than I really wanted to,
    Other than that, perfect, everyone I dealt with was lovely.

  • 5 Shantelle Ainsworth 3rd Oct 2022

    Planning a funeral is never going to be easy, but the staff at Ipswich have been totally amazing. Sarah and Vanessa made the planning as painless as possible, helped us though each part, explaining things and making sure that we got everything the way mum would have wanted it. The staff on the day were so respectful and professional, and the celebrant Andrew Fairweather, who they arranged was an absolute diamond. Thank you guys for making a difficult time, much easier.

    thank you

  • 4 Hilary Bagshaw 22nd Aug 2022

    Although my late sister had opted for a direct cremation; it all went as well as I could expect I think; given that you don't have much to do with much of it. Sarah was excellent in keeping me informed as we live in London.

  • 5 Richard Fuller 29th Jul 2022

    Great service, sadly all too soon after last time, but once again Sarah and Ness' organisation was excellent and Mark's delivery on the day, along with his team, was once again faultless.   Thank you all.

  • 5 Norren Cudby 25th Jul 2022
