    A first-class service from the Co-op team for what was a sad occasion for our family.

    The first contact with Petra on the phone and first meeting with Becca gave us a lot of confidence that we had a team who understood what we were going through and who were going to help us through this difficult time.

    Becca spent time with us going through the process and the things we had to do to make it as painless for us as possible. She was professional, empathetic, and made us feel reassured that we were in good hands.

    Over the period of two weeks from the initial contact to the day of the funeral Becca kept us informed of what was happening, when it would happen and what we needed to do. At all times her contact with us was caring, thoughtful and most importantly she did what she promised to do.

    Prior to the funeral Becca ran us through the timings of the day which helped us prepare for the funeral service.

    On the day Becca and her team arrived as scheduled and introduced us to Neil the driver who took us to the crematorium. He was also very respectful and empathetic on our journey to the funeral service and the wake.

    A day after the funeral Becca called to check on how we were doing which was a lovely and unexpected.

    Becca was excellent and well supported by Petra, Neil and the rest of the team.

    We were very touched by the thoughtfulness, consideration and sensitivity Nicola, Petra and Natalie so naturally displayed helping us arrange our family funeral. Their manner, tone and communication was mindful and respectful, Nicola particularly, gently reassuring, fulfilling her role way beyond that of exceptional good staff training. We are moved to commend your truly compassionate team, please note our appreciation and thanks.
