The lovely people in Newmarket led us gently through the process. They phoned to check on us and let us ok now what would happen when. They were kind and supportive, offering ongoing support. They made a difficult time manageable.

  • 5 Charles Eves 3rd May 2022

    My sister & I arranged for a funeral plan for our mother 3 years ago so that we were prepared for her passing & opted for the Coop Funeralcare plan.
    We were very pleased with the whole service provided from collecting her on the day of her passing to the excellent way she was respectfully treated on the day of her funeral.
    We were kept informed all the way through the process at a time when emotions run high & our heartfelt thanks are extended to all the staff at the Newmarket branch.

  • 5 Rachel Smith 20th Apr 2022

    I would always recommend Co-Op Funeral Care. Our Celebrant Andrew Fairweather is an excellent co-ordinator and all the mourners had the opportunity to bid their final farewell in their own way.

  • 2 Alan Eaton 15th Apr 2022

    Poor communication. Flowers that were ordered did not arrive. Invoice showed items that were not on estimate but clearly should have been.

    The staff on the day were very well dressed and respectful of our sad occasion. The oak casket was of good quality as were the flowers. So I felt the team supported us through our sad day and helped bring dignity to Mums final journey.

  • 5 Lindsey Fuller 13th Dec 2021

    I have been treated with kindness and professionalism while planning my husband's care and funeral. Alysha made a very sad time so much easier - she listened and made all my wishes happen. On the day I was very well supported by Lisa and I did not have to worry about anything.
    We are the third generation to have Co-op Funeralcare and I cannot recommend them enough - thank you
