The team at Co-op Funeral Care were wonderful, kind and very efficient in dealing with and organising my mums funeral. I used them for my fathers funeral previously and would highly recommend them to others. 

Janice McLoughlin 22nd Nov 2022

I had to arrange a direct cremation for our dear friend. All arrangements were done over the phone and because I was laid up after surgery and found it difficult to get into the office to sign paperwork, a representative from the Coop came to my house to make everything easier for me. 10/10

  • 5 Janet Pickless 7th Nov 2022

    Our decision to use Co-op Funeral Care, North Shields, was by far the correct choice.
    We received unequalled, professional advice and assistance from Chris Henderson and his colleagues.
    Chris guided us through each aspect of the Funeral, with great sympathy and care. Nothing was too much trouble and this was most comforting.
    The funeral was perfectly orchestrated and carried out with the utmost respect.
    Without question we would highly recommend Co-op Funeral Care.
    Our collective thanks go to all those who helped make an otherwise traumatic day feel seamless.

    The Funeral Plan which I have previously purchased was a very good starting point to deliver the total funeral for my wife.
    The Funeral Director was excellent - very knowledgeable and he delivered the support to us in an extremely respectful manner.
    In whatever was provided by the Staff at both Whitley Bay and North Shields sites was of the highest order and both my son and myself have the highest regard for them and Coop Funeral Care!
