Karen Atkin 13th Nov 2023

I was so impressed with the care we received from Elaine and her team. They were kind and caring during a time that could have been so horrible. They kept in touch at all times and the humanist service conducted by Michael was wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough. Everything was made so easy because they were so professional and dedicated. Thank you so much for making everything seem so easy.

  • 5 Elizabeth Faulkner 4th Jan 2023

    The whole team at Co-op funeral care were very impressive . They were professional, caring and empathetic from the start. Provided a seamless service at such a distressing time for the family . 

  • 4 Jill Humphreys 3rd Jan 2023

    In the main all arrangements were carried out as per our wishes; the cars were spotless and the Co-op personnel were very professional however a number of issues could have been improved upon:
    - although we were given a verbal estimate of costs, we never received the estimated details in writing.
    - I didn't think the floral tribute looked as fresh as it should have even though we had been advised that due to the time of the funeral, the flowers would be delivered to the Chapel of Rest the previous afternoon.
    - While arranging the funeral, we stipulated that the congregation would be invited to listen to the final song in full before departing, however it appeared that the Funeral Director had not been made aware of this and interrupted us halfway through.

  • 5 Keith Wilkinson 19th Dec 2022
