First class. They made the day as good as it could be.

Robert Ebdon 5th Mar 2024

Very happy with the care and attention to detail, support and standard of dignity given to assist us as a family with everything associated with my mams passing, during this very painful time, we received great caring help with the difficult funeral arrangements that are required. The funeral itself went as perfectly as it possibly could. and this is down to the great staff, and our appreciation goes especially to Gary, even though he was poorly himself, he still put himself out to keep in touch and caring for us, making sure all was well and re-assuring us that arrangements were all in place. Thank you, on behalf of all my family, to the whole team at the Co-op Funeral care, great service. Tracy Hayes

  • 5 Louise Farrington 29th Jan 2024

    We couldn’t have asked more of the service received. 

    The service felt very personal and our family and late dad were looked after so well. 

    Richard and Petra checked in regularly to make sure we were ok and we were also allocated an amazing celebrant in Simon. I also know there are many other people to acknowledge such as the chauffeurs on the day, but others that aren’t seen. 

    Absolutely flawless service at such a difficult time.
