Very caring, great attention to details that mattered to me.  The humanist I dealt with was lovely and the funeral itself went to plan. Lots of comments on the humanist service too

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Thank you so much for supporting us and organising my mams last journey in such a caring and respectful manner. We really do appreciate everything you did to ease our pain and guide us through the process.  We couldn't have asked for anything more.

I would like to thank everyone involved in my mams funeral. Everyone I had occasion to talk to was very helpful and caring. The whole process was made that bit easier. Everything my mam requested was provided. I am sure she would have approved. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone. Many thanks to everyone concerned. Carol Roberts

  • 5 Trevor Cox 8th Mar 2022

    Sadly, my brother passed away recently. He is the first of our family to pass away. Not knowing where to turn I trawled the internet searching for help. I found an advert for the Coop funeral services and, being from Washington, decided to ring the Concord branch. They were brilliant in every way. From my first timid contact and still in shock, they were very understanding and professional and helped me through the whole process. The funeral went without a hitch and the Celebrant, Mark, captured the spirit of my brother with his speech. Everything was taken care of, I couldn't ask for any more from the staff. I thank them all for their help, support and for making my brothers send off perfect. Thank you all.
