Excellent from start to finish. A special mention to Sam. An absolute star.

Andrew Osborne 17th May 2022

The service provided by the co-op, especially Sam was faultless. To lose both my parents in such a short space of time was very difficult, but not to worry about the funeral meant the world to me, all the arrangements were taken care of and I was kept informed of everything as it progressed.

Martin Fowler Place 16th May 2022

Start to finish, very professional,from the first meeting to the funeral day. Great team & compassionate staff. Ask for Mark, he was the Director, explains everything in a straightforward way, very polite & helped us out all throughout the funeral day. No need to worry, he took care of everything, really genuine nice fellow. Thank you
