From the start of the funeral arrangements to the cremation of John's body, the staff were very professional and respectful couldn't have asked for more. Thank you ever so much for all you did taken care of my lovely husband John.

Linda Conroy 24th Jul 2023

I was very impressed by all the care and attention to detail of the whole process from informing the funeral director to the completion of the funeral of my husband including the webcast, which many of my family and friends who were not able to come, mainly due to distance, all praised. The humanist who conducted the funeral also took care to get to know of the diseased so that she could give a clear and personal account of his life. Having a prepaid funeral plan also helped to make things run smoothly. I would highly recommend the Co op funeral service
