I cannot thank Nichola, Roo, Leigh and all the team at the Windy Nook branch. Once again, you took myself and my family into your Coop Family and treat us with dignity, respect, empathy and compassion. Many times,in my eyes yous went above and beyond what was expected of yous and I will never forget yous. From the first phone call to you's to inform you my beautiful mam had passed away. the respect and empathy shown to my family when yous came to the house to take mam to the chapel of rest, Nichola constantly updated us with details and if I was unsure of anything, Nichola was always there at the end of the telephone. We had the privilege of meeting Roo, myself and especially my daughters were able to connect to him (with him being young) and his empathy and understanding brought my daughters comfort during the sad loss of their nanna.

    It's actually Gary here. I couldn't speak highly enough of the service we received. We've unfortunately had 2 funerals in the past few months and both times the service has been 1st class. I won't name any individuals as everyone we have dealt with has been wonderful in every way. Thank you to you all, and I won't hesitate to recommend you to other members of the family.

  • 5 Irene Watson 31st Jul 2023

    When you are confronted with having to deal with a funeral along with the sudden shock and sadness of the death of a loved one it can be a daunting task. However when I contacted the Co op funeral care they carefully guided and helped at each stage of the way. On the actual day of the funeral they were very supportive and ensured that any queries we may have had were answered and dealt with. I would highly recommend the Co op.
