    I can't thank the staff enough for being so caring and understanding, for looking after my dad and being there every step of the way through the hardest time of my life. Craig Button, our funeral director could not have done enough for us and we are extremely grateful for everything. Rebecca, Ellie and Carol were so kind, caring and helped me to calm when i was distressed, they looked after me, showing warmth and were so supportive.

    My dad had the best send off and it's down to Craig and his team for doing their all in order to make this happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. ❤️
    Angela and family

    Unfortunately this was the 3rd time in 2 years I have had to arrange a funeral. I used Co-Op Funeral care services each time. They were considerate, kind and helpful and supported me through this emotional time, they listened to me and gave relevant advice.

  • 5 Avie Dees 15th Jan 2024

    The Co-Op was great at dealing with my Dad's direct cremation. It was an unexpected death so nothing was in place. In the space of 48 hours I had a funeral director in place and all of the information I needed for the coroner / hospital. Carol at the Chester Le Street branch was superb bringing peace of mind during a stressful time just before Christmas and making sure Dad was being treat with dignity and respect. Ella also helped in ensuring we knew when the cremation would be and that everything had taken place as expected. I can't thank the team enough for the help and support they provided and during the Christmas holiday period!
