    We couldn't have asked for a better service from the CO-OP funeral care at Washington who looked after my Mam’ s care. Their help take a great weight from our shoulders at an awful time. Ann, Sonia and Courtney were fantastic and sorted any problems we had. They were able to organise a late visit for my sister to see Mam as she had to travel from the south west. Nothing was too much trouble. The order of service was beautiful  and the care we received on the day of the funeral was second to none. Thank you everyone.
