Thank you for your professionalism and support during my brother's cremation service and all the respect shown to me during a very sad time. ROBERT HAMMOND.

Anne Burdus 14th Mar 2022

I cannot praise the service provided  highly enough. Claire guided us through every step and even contacted me afterwards to see how I was. Daniel was the celebrant recommended and he was wonderful. The friends and family attending the funeral told us that it was exactly how out Mam would have wanted it . Sincere thanks to all concerned .

Susan Batey 28th Feb 2022

The service was second to none . We couldn’t fault it. So welcoming and warm reception from all the staff. Any questions we had they helped in every way they could. We would definitely recommend them to others. Much appreciated.

  • 5 Ruth Scales 29th Nov 2021

    First class service from Claire and the team at Sea Road Fulwell, funeral home.
    A very compassionate and professional young lady, who took care of my dad.
    From the moment we spoke to Claire the guidance we received was on such a personal level.
    Everything from organising Ann Ferrier- a Funeral Celebrant, Order of Service Booklet, flowers, Obituary Notice and looking after our family.
    Claire allowed us to focus solely on saying goodbye to our Dad.
    Thank you to all concerned from a very grateful daughter, Ruth. x

  • 5 Kathleen Smith 7th Jul 2021

    I was so grateful to have the wonderful support of the Fulwell team, Claire, Christie and Pauline; and before that Alison.

    They helped me in organising a funeral from a distance of 200 miles.

    Auntie Rosemary had put a Funeral Plan in place, which was very helpful.

    With many thanks.

  • 5 June Elsie Elstob 5th Jul 2021

    It is of course a most upsetting time in a family when someone dies unexpectedly 
    Claire and her team were most kind in their dealings with us
    I can not say how much kindness means at this time in our lives
    Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to provide the special touches that meant so much to us
    I am sure that the dignity and elegance of the day will be in no small way a comfort to all her friends and family
    It may seem strange to say but I think she would have loved it
    She always liked the little different and would have been happy with the willow casket bedecked by the beautiful floral  arrangements by flower angels
    Can’t thank and praise your team enough

    The family of the late Eddie Maynard would like to thank David and his staff from Co-op Funeral Services, Sea Road, Fulwell, Sunderland,  for their very professional and compassionate handling of Eddie and his family.  From our first appointment to their understanding phone calls , and final arrangements, they were first class.
    We would also like to thank Daniel for his kind words at the crematorium service.  They were poignant and very fitting to Uncle Eddie, some people even asked if Daniel had ever met Eddie as his words and feelings were so true.
    Thank you 
    Kind regards,
    Pauline, Julie, and all their family
