Our family and I really appreciate the wonderful care and compassion they gave to our family we couldn’t have wished for a better day we are very grateful for all help given. The service was just as we wanted for John and I do believe he would have appreciated everything. The eulogy given by Allyson was a lovely tribute to John and we can’t thank her enough, the music was just him, he was a quiet and gentle man and loved by everyone who new him. Thank you all for all your help. Our best wishes from all the family. Susan Anderson and family xx

  • 5 Trevor Clark 10th Oct 2022

    From our first initial contact with the CO-OP funeral company to the final part of Margaret’s journey we cannot express our thanks and gratitude enough to each and everyone at the Washington funeral service who contributed to this wonderful and beautiful send off.
    Sonia was our first contact with Washington funeral service, she was very courteous and understanding and arranged a meeting that same day with Alison, the funeral director. Sonia also greeted us in when we went to see Margaret in the chapel of rest.
    Alison came to our home and talked to us and reassured us about everything that would happen, choosing the coffin, flowers and order of service and keeping us informed every step of the way. Alison was there for us at the rosary when Margaret was taken into church the evening before, everything was lovely.
    Ann, was our next contact at the funeral parlour, she was so caring and compassionate and nothing was a problem. Ann dealt with everything that we wanted for Margaret and made sure it all came together, which it did, so lovely.
    Nicola was our final contact on the day of the funeral and again she made sure that everything we had asked and planned for happened, which it did and more. Nicola even asked us if we would like a song or a hymn played at the burial, which we did.
    We cannot express our gratitude and thanks enough to everyone involved in Margaret’s send off. 
    We would like to offer our thanks also to the pall bearers who were so gentle and caring with Margaret.
    Thank you once again for all the help and kindness you all showed to us, it helped us so much, Daphne and Trevor Clark.
