Sandra Turnbull 23rd May 2022

From start to finish the service was exemplary. Warm, caring, respectful. Nothing was too much trouble, even when lack of paperwork was causing problems, Nichola and her staff were calm and helpful. The design of our Order or Service was really original and unique. I can’t thank the ladies enough for making the whole experience compassionate and sympathetic.

    Everyone we interacted with during the process of saying goodbye to my dad was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Lyndsey for all your help, kind words, and the lovely brew. I want to say an extra special thank you to Nichola who made every step so easy in what has been such a difficult time. Everything we asked for, she made happen. Dad got the exact send off he asked for, thank you.

  • 5 Beverley Ann Fitzpatrick 16th May 2022

    Following the death of my mother I cannot thank the staff at Windy Nook, Gateshead enough. Which had been one of the most difficult times I have experienced everyone there has gone above & beyond to guide myself and my sister through the process. We would like to especially mention Claire our funeral director, she explained things fully, was very empathetic and made our mothers funeral service dignified and the way she and us wanted, thank you all for everything you have done for our family.

  • 5 Robert Coulson 11th May 2022

    Didn’t hesitate to use COOP Gateshead as used them for my dad’s funeral 2 years previous. As expected , fantastic , kind service and warm personalities provided by the whole team. Helpful advice and assistance along the way together with giving us time to be on our own in between planning and funeral day. Our lead director was Nichola with other names of the staff being Lindsay , Leigh , Jan and all the staff really, excelling themselves. You never want to tell people who to use for funerals but would always recommend COOP Gateshead if asked by anyone .

    We would highly recommend coop funeral care to anyone thinking about taking out a funeral plan. Given the difficult situation our family was going through with the death of my mam. They made it allot easier, even thinking of the little things like mementos.

    Thank you Nichola, Lindsey, Jan and the rest of the team at the windy nook funeral home for looking after us with such compassion and care.
