    I would recommend co-op funeral care to anyone, they were professional and caring from the beginning I walked through the door, they kept me informed about everything through out, even just a call to see if I was alright. The funeral itself was carried out with dignity again the undertaker making sure I knew what was happening and even at the end when dropping me off at the wake they still asked if there was anything more I would like. I was so impressed I am going to book my funeral with them soon, as I know my family will be well looked after
