    Excellent service from Alison and Marie

  • 4 Peter Atkinson 1st Feb 2021

    The service & the staff were excellent with the arranging of Ernest’s funeral.  The only negative is, we were offered a free half hour legal service from the Co-Op.    

    However, to date we have not received this service, having mentioned this to the staff on a couple of occasions now.

    Apart from this everything went smoothly.

    Hello Alison, Linda and your colleagues at Coop funeralcare, Chester Road
    I just wanted to say thank you all so much for the beautiful send off you gave my Uncle Jack today.
    The whole ceremony was so classy and stylish from his arrival in a beautiful limousine, the gorgeous flower arrangement, your lovely, respectful and stylish colleagues, the service conducted brilliantly by Debbie and finally, the great music to send him on his way.
    We couldn't have wished for, or got, any better than you gave us today. My mam was thrilled at how good the whole ceremony was.
    Jack's carers commented that we had done him proud.
    I'm so glad we chose your company for Jack's funeral, so thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts.

  • 5 Marilyn Mewse 8th Jan 2021

    We chose an eco woodland burial for my dad which we couldn’t attend for various reasons. Alison took care of my dad and the transportation of him to Northumbria. We received a 5* service and she was in constant contact with us during the process and attended the service with other directors and rang us afterwards to tell us that it had been a beautiful burial and location. Alison is a HUGE asset to your company

    This is the only funeral I have ever arranged, so difficult to make any kind of comparison, but I found the process to be efficient and the advice I was given sensitive and helpful. The event (held under Cover-19 restrictions) went well and I am entirely satisfied that we were able to do the best funeral we could under the circumstances.
