I would like to thank all of the Co-op Funeralcare employees for the excellent service they did to make my mam’s cremation go to plan. I would especially like to thank Richard, he is a credit to your company and showed my sister and I understanding, compassion and was very professional.

Becca and team went above and beyond to help us arrange the most beautiful send off for our mam.  She was so very patient with us at a difficult time. They offered extra touches which were perfect for the day. Our choice of coffin has was admired by so many people, saying they had never seen anything like that before. We were all very very happy with the great service and would highly recommend them. Everywhere should have staff like this. Thank you so much x

    My family and I would like to thank Becca and her team for being so respectful, kind and sensitive throughout a very sad and emotional process.
    Becca took us gently through each step of my mums funeral and helped with every choice we had to make.  She gave us time if we needed it, showed great empathy to us all.  She put us in touch with a lovely humanist celebrant who wrote an incredible eulogy, she captured the very essence of my mum which we will always be grateful for.
    Thank you so much again.
