    Our Funeral Director Kevin Philips dealt with our mother's funeral and he helped to make the awful experience as easy as possible for us. He answered email queries we had promptly and we felt reassured that he was in control of the process and that he had our best interests at heart. The humanist lady who he put us in touch with for the service was also excellent and we could not have wished for a better send off for our mam. Thank you so much

  • 5 Stanley David Scorer 6th Feb 2023

    From the outset we received excellent advice both legally and of a practical nature regarding the organisation of my uncle's funeral plan.
    Communication regarding updates to the arrangements was seemless and we were also put in touch with a brilliant funeral celebrant, Maggie Edge, who made a fantastic job of delivering the family eulogy on the day.
    Finally, there was a lovely, unprompted, touch by Chris our funeral director, who arranged for the cortege route to pass my uncle's favourite pub, which would have meant so much to my uncle.

  • 5 Elsie Dixon 23rd Jan 2023

Although my husband`s funeral was only on the 18th January `Kevin` who was our main contact continues to ensure that everything we needed or remain to need will be carried out to our satisfaction.
    I would not hesitate to recommend the Co-op funeral-care services.
