  • 5 Stephen Wilson 21st Feb 2022

    Can't speak highly enough of them. Great service and really caring people. I realise it's part of the job but this wasn't forced or fake. Funeral went without a hitch, and a special mention for the Chapel of Rest where my mother looked at peace and almost like her old self, before a couple of months in hospital where she increasingly looked old and confused and depressed. It was a pleasure to spend a couple of hours with her each day up to the funeral. Used the Chester Road Co-op for my father and 28 years later my mother. Always good service. Always recommend them.

    This was a shared funeral with that of Doris Brown, and a review gas already been completed

  • 5 Glennis Grinion 29th Dec 2021

    I was unfortunate enough to lose both parents within 11 days of each other. My funeral director Claire, was excellent from beginning to end with this, managing to achieve a joint funeral in a short space of time. Claire was on leave from her job, when my second bereavement occurred, but continued to work to bring about the desired outcome. I cannot thank her enough.
    First class service in every single aspect of my parents funeral, and Claire and the drivers and other attendants looked immaculate on the day. I have no hesitation in recommending their very professional and personal service. Thank you so much
