  • 5 Angela Wear 8th Mar 2022

    I just want to say a huge thank you to all who were involved looking after my Dad and giving him the send off he deserved. Gill & Nichola were wonderful, they’re care, compassion and professionalism was amazing. My brother went to see my Dad and said he looked lovely and peaceful. All the drivers were kind and thoughtful too, as were the ladies we dealt with in the office in Windy Nook. Thank you again, I couldn’t recommend The Co op funeral home enough. Kind regards Angela Wear

    Claire Dalton and the team at Gateshead Funeralcare took great care of all of the family during this difficult time. No request was too much for them as we tried to organise the details of the funeral from Gateshead and from home in Ireland while waiting on the funeral date. The care and compassion shown by all of the team was amazing. The quality of the service from start to finish was impeccable with constant communication. We really were in safe hands as we were guided through this difficult time. Thank you to all of the team from our family.
