Verity was excellent, she was professional and friendly in every way.  I would recommend all my friends and family as Verity  took care of us and answered all our questions.  Felt very confident leaving our Dad in her hands.  Many thanks

    An excellent service from start to finish. Verity (Hockley branch) was so kind and empathetic and we really appreciated her regular phone calls to liaise with us on arrangements for my uncle's funeral. Nothing was too much trouble for her and we were very impressed by her attention to detail. Jim, the funeral director, phoned me the evening before to run through the arrangements and his kind and capable approach was also much appreciated. We would also like to mention the welcome phone call from the Co-op legal/bereavement service to see if we needed any help and the excellent quality of the order of service booklet.

  • 5 Ian Coleman 29th Jan 2024

    We mainly dealt with Verity although Jan was there at the start too. We felt that we were with kind people who totally understood how we felt and that we were dealing with the most difficult time of our lives.
    We were checked up on regularly in case there was anything we needed & nothing was too much trouble, all of our questions were answered kindly & quickly. The support which we received while arranging things for Mum was excellent, Verity made things a lot easier for us & it was obvious that she had expertise in what she does.
    I feel that the whole experience was made easier & less traumatic by the care & help we received.

    We found the co op funeral directors absolutely superb, fantastic support, professional and caring.
    The celebrant they recommended was also first class.

    We are going to book our pre planned funeral for ourselves now.

    Verity at the coop in Hockley was great. She explained everything in great detail and with empathy, always kept in touch to see if we were ok and made the funeral process very easy in our time of great sorrow and sadness. The celebrant and funeral director were also great and the funeral went very smoothly. The flowers were beautiful.

    A fantastic service from start to finish, especially to Verity, and the team at Co-op Funeralcare and Mike....xx

  • 5 Sharon Springall 15th Jul 2023

    We could not have asked for more for a most wonderful send off for our Mum. From the very first visit to arrange the funeral through to after the funeral. Immediately Sophie got a feel for what we would like and how we'd like to celebrate her life and recommended the celebrant that would best suit what we wanted. So kind, attentive, thoughtful and communication was dealt with, with the utmost tenderness and kindness whilst being helpful, making suggestions and following the whole process throughout with great advice, professionalism and courtesy, and Verity afforded us the same when Sophie attended another office. They both made the whole process easier especially at such a difficult time and the day of the funeral, utterly wonderful, seamless and helped us to give our Mum the most lovely send off which was intimated to us from friends and family who attended. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

  • 5 Michael Reding 10th Jul 2023

    Hi, This is the first time I have been involved in organising a funeral and I have to say your company and particularly your staff have been brilliant. Verity has been amazing, kind, thoughtful, efficient and supportive. All our needs have been met and the experience has been as good as my brother and I could have hoped.

  • 5 Shaun Bearcroft 30th Jun 2023

    Excellent in all respects

  • 5 Linda Brown 19th Jun 2023

    I can not praise the care and compassion shown to myself  and family.
    Verity even phoned and checked on me, after the loss of my husband. The flowers and the order of service was excellent.
    The Funeral director Steve ,and the drivers, also very caring and precise. We also had the Celebrant that they used as well.Mike Cole.
    Who also made it a very personal  and a fitting tribute to my late husband. Our family would highly recommend the Hockley Funeral care
