On the whole my funeral arrangements were good but there was some issues with the funeral service due to the chosen humanist and the client was not given second proof , also someone visited Ellis in chapel when should not have as the person was let in before I was telephoned.

    COOP FuneralCare Gateshead were excellent. From the initial meeting to the final follow up after the service Nichola, the Funeral Director, and her team were totally sympathetic and highly supportive during a difficult time for the family. Everything was carefully planned and flawlessly carried out and we cannot thank them enough.

    Alison is so caring and thoughtful. She arranged everything for us abd nothing was a bother to her. Alison and the staff are wonderful at a very raw and upsetting time. All of my family appreciate what they did for my brother Stephen. Alison arranged the Celebrant - Gail More who is lovely. She made the service personal to us and Stephen. In awful circumstances Alison and Gail led us through absolutely everything. Best wishes and love to Alison, Gail and all of the staff.
