    The funeral director and staff are lovely and kind and when we had our meeting to organise everything paul was lovely and very understanding and knowledgeable etc. I was told they would let me know when he be cremated so we can hold our own get to gether etc. but sadly they have poor communication they either don't get back to you or they don't phone so you have to keep chasing things up. Also I wanted fingerprints and a lock of hair. The prints I fault looked liked they took it from a criminal from the police station. With a free post , random address on one side and instructions on how to take the prints on the other. As for lock of hair it was just put in a random envelope. There was no thought in to it. It's meant to be a keep sake something to keep hold off. But when you look at it , it just feels cold and thoughtless. I got better from my dog who I had cremated. As the pawprints was put along side a picture frame and lock of hair was in a lovely little jar or a option to have in a lovely little bag. This needs looking in to as this is someone loved one so when they ask for these keep sakes have a little thought to it rather then just putting it on some random card. As I said the staff was lovely and understanding hence why they got 2 stars. Sadly there lack of communication in not informing you of what's happening etc let's them down plus the thoughtless keep sakes was a right let down. I didn't look until I got home and I was so upset and disappointed.

    The service provided by Co-op Funeralcare was exceptional. They seamlessly organised the whole event with respect and professionalism. The celebrant that was provided, Angela Rowe was engaging and created a lovely atmosphere for the service. The pallbearers and funeral director were immaculately dressed and very professional. Excellent service.

    Paul and his colleagues run an extremely professional funeral service that was so caring, from the moment I contacted him, with all the organisation and finally on the day.
    My family and I would not hesitate in recommending them.
