We were cared for and looked after by the wonderful team at Funeralcare, Chester Road from the first point of contact on the phone until after my auntie's funeral had taken place. They were warm, friendly, efficient and made a difficult time as easy as it could be in the circumstances. I could not praise them highly enough.

The support we received from Marie and Alison was excellent. From the first interaction up until we said our final goodbyes they were by our side, helping and guiding us as needed. They are both a credit to Co-op Funeral Care.

    Everybody was extremely helpful and cheerful which was a bonus during such a sad period. I was kept in the loop always and they could not have been more helpful despite being 321 + miles away. The day of the funeral went exactly as we wished and it was carried out by the funeral personnel beautifully.

    Thank you so much for everything you did for Kevin. Claire & her team were so professional & everything went like clockwork. Thank you.

  • 4 Christine Jeffrey 25th Oct 2022

    The general work undertaken was first class, however at grave side communications between council and staff needs to be more open and graveside checked for easy access to lower coffin into grave, this should be safe for both berarers and family, a Risk Assessment on site before lifting coffin could have easily been undertaken

  • 5 Andrea Outram 24th Oct 2022
