    From first contact with Co-op funeral care North Shields, which was at a stressful time, they were reassuring and made me feel secure that things would be taken care of. 

    I found them to be helpful, caring and very professional throughout the whole process. Regular contact with updates and to check on family wellbeing was much appreciated. 

    I would certainly recommend Co-op funeral care North Shields branch for outstanding service. A special thanks to Becca who took time to explain everything and was available to answer and questions we had up to and following the funeral and plans for future. 

  • 5 Julie Anderson 18th Jul 2022

    Richard was very professional and courteous also Irene was a great support to me when I needed it. The only thing that was a let down one of the limousine air conditioning was not working and on the day of the funeral it was very hot. My family that was in that car said it was very uncomfortable. That is the only criticism I have about the whole experience. Thank you Julie

  • 5 Diane Coltman 6th Jun 2022

    We were all very pleased with the service from all the staff at North Shields Co op Funeral Care. Everyone was so respectful. Especially Richard, who was extremely helpful, kind and considerate at a difficult time. Richard was there to guide us and keep us informed throughout the whole process; from my Mother being taken into their care, to the funeral service at church and the cremation.  I felt my Mother had the ‘send off’ she deserved.
