  • 5 Sharon Watson 30th Aug 2022

    The Moment Ian arrived at my home he made me feel at ease with all the things to do for my mum‘s funeral. He was very respectful and very caring. The limousine and hearse were immaculate and the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Dee was our civil celebrant, she was absolutely amazing. I briefly told her my mum’s life story and she made it into a wonderful speech. Again she was so kind and caring and respectful. I am absolutely over the moon with her service.
    Alison at the funeral home was the most lovely person I’ve ever met . I came to view my mum as she died in a horrible way and needed to get the picture out of my head and get a picture of her at piece on a bed. Alison made me feel very comfortable with viewing  my mum at piece, she was so helpful at organising all the things for the funeral,  the flowers, the booklet for the service etc, she was so caring and made me feel at ease. I would recommend coop funeral care 100%.

    Great service, from the repatriation of my wife to the funeral itself. She was treated with all the care and dignity I could wish for. The Chapel of Rest was perfect for myself and other family members to see her for the last time.
    Thank you Richard, Alison and Kathryn.

  • 5 Anne Dowson 17th Jul 2022

    Alison and Richard were so kind and caring; I felt as if I was the only person they were dealing with when, in reality, they would have been helping others through an equally upsetting time. Thank you so much for the care and kindness.
