Kari and Caroline at the Danbury office couldn’t have been more helpful land understanding. Their professional and sympathetic attitude made a very sad time for our family much less stressful  and upsetting. Everybody on the day of the funeral was very respectful and made sure the day ran smoothly.  Thank You very much

About Us

The team at Chelmsford Star Co-operative Funeral Services provide supportive, thoughtful funeral planning advice and assistance. Operating for over 80 years across Chelmsford, the Danbury branched was established in 2007 and is overseen by family liaison officer Jill Rushbrook.

Chelmsford Star funeral directors strive to meet all your requirements, from funeral flowers to memorial masonry, ashes into glass, or eco-friendly options. The team has access to a range of unusual transport options to personalise your loved one’s funeral, such as motorcycle hearses.

In addition to guidance with funeral planning, you can also benefit from comprehensive support and aftercare services. Clients have access to a free-phone helpline, available 24/7, and can receive six free sessions of one-to-one counselling in a dedicated private counselling room on site.

The funeral directors have also set up free bereavement support groups throughout the local area. These groups regularly help those coping with grief by bringing them together in a welcoming, understanding environment.

Chelmsford Star are committed to maintaining the quality of their service, and encourage feedback from clients so that they can continue to offer excellent support to those in need. These efforts have resulted in them earning a place as one of the Good Funeral Guide’s ‘Best Funeral Directors’ and winning no fewer than eight local business awards for customer service.

Contact them now to learn more about planning a unique and fitting tribute to your loved one.

    The support I have received from Kari has been excellent
    Kari has a great attention for detail and all the arrangements went as planned
    Kari also has great compassion and was able to assist  me emotionally as well as sort out the funeral arrangements. A lot of the pressure was taken off me during this very difficult time and yet this resulted in a wonderful service to provide a fitting goodbye to my wife.

  • 5 David Rockenbach 2nd Mar 2018

    Very supportive at difficult time. Tried to get date & time that suited us, and by going round the various options available, were able to meet our requirements. Very happy with the Celebrant, who visited us and gave great advice on the content of the service. We used the Visual Tributes that was offered, and everyone who attended mentioned how much they got from this. Many thanks from me and my daughters.

    Exceptional service from start to finish, they carry out your wishes to every wish. 
    On the day they are so polite and caring and considerate of the grief you are going through but help you through the bad times making the funeral run as smoothly as possible nothing is too much trouble. 
    The after care is faultless, would always  recommend there excellent service to anyone. 

    Thank You co-operative

    I had the wonderful 'liaison officer' Jill. She was so understanding, could not do enough for us and made the whole process more bearable.

  • 5 John Gurunlian 30th May 2016

    All was very good

  • 5 Linda Cawley 7th Feb 2016

    I liked the two walks in front of coffin.
    The main bearer was very kind and one felt there was no rush - I felt I could have been in the Chapel all day and he wouldn't have ushered me out!!
    The Vicar was kind and thoughtful - as though we had known each other for some time.
