    I would highly recommend Gosforth Funeral Care. All the staff I spoke to were highly professional, courteous and caring at all times.
    As I don’t live locally, they were most helpful in advising about the cremation options available for my Aunt, and kept me informed throughout.




  • 5 Stephen Nash 4th Apr 2022

    We were very impressed with the care and attention to detail we received from the Co-op Funeralcare. The flowers were perfect. The Order of Service was beautifully designed and used some of the photos behind the words in a very sensitive way. Everything went exactly as we had hoped on the day and helped give us the peace of mind we needed after the preceding stressful weeks. Thank you to all those involved.
