  • 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.

    Craig Button and Elaine looked after our brother Keith when he passed away suddenly at home. From the first Boldon contact (Alison) we were shown the greatest of care and empathy from them all.
    Easy to talk to, even when talking was hard and emotions were raw. Nothing was a problem and their attention to detail commendable.Their kindness, care, understanding, and professionalism was evident in all our dealings.
