    I was very pleased with Terry's funeral everything went perfectly and I would like to thank Kevin and his team for a wonderful professional service. He guided me every step of the way and was very respectful of the occasion. I am so glad Terry and I took out a Co-op Plan several years ago - I am certainly grateful for that. Also Adele did a super job of the service and I was very impressed with the Order of Service leaflet. Thank you all so much.

  • 5 Susan Gentry 6th Feb 2023

    Both my mother and stepfather died in December 2022 and we asked Co-op Gosforth to arrange the joint funeral. From the beginning of our contact with them we found they were very friendly and helpful and having Kevin Phillips as our Funeral Director made the whole process much easier and less stressful. He was a great help and was wonderful at keeping in touch throughout.

  • 5 Laurence Le Fleming 1st Feb 2023

    Thank you for a sympathetic and tactful conduct of the whole process by Co-op Funeral care. My wife being Russian I had asked for a service which conformed to Russian Orthodox ritual, albeit much shortened. Since my wife had a number of friends and relations in Russia (Moscow and Novosibirsk) I opted to have the service live streamed so that they could be virtually present; alas, this got messed it up.

  • 5 Nicholas Bown 23rd Jan 2023

    The sadness of Christine's passing is something all of us will bear. We cannot thank CO-OP Gosforth Funeral care enough. From the bottom of our hearts we are so grateful to have had them attend to us in every single wish and detail. The Celebration was beautiful and perfect in every way. They achieved this by listening to our wishes, those of Christine and how we bid her farewell were carried out impeccably. Recommending a Funeral director is not something anyone wants to have to do, but with the most thankful joy in how they helped us through the entire process we would not hesitate to suggest them if ever asked this question. Thank you to all the team. You are all angels and what you do is something most people would find extremely hard. With love, John, Nicola and Nicholas.

  • 5 Heather Byers 23rd Jan 2023
