From the first phone call I received nothing but kindness and consideration and efficient service from all members of staff I had contact with nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for helping us through a very difficult time.

Kelly and Carol were brilliant made us feel very vomfortable

Maureen Conley 3rd Oct 2022

This time around I couldn't fault the service from beginning to end Carol Davies was excellent. But the people that do the order of service and the coffin brass plates need to take notice of what Carol writes down .

    The funeral was a disaster

  • 5 Kristian Lorentzen 31st Aug 2022

    From our first contact with Carol until her check up after the funeral itself nothing was too much trouble - the fact that she was organising it all for us in another location made her help even more invaluable. Carol was professional but also caring which is what you need at times like these - we would not hesitate to recommend the Co-op thanks to Carol's help.

  • 5 Jamie Griggs 15th Aug 2022

    Fantastic customer service. Compassionate service, above and beyond care. Carol is a superstar. Drayson was amazing on the day of the funeral. Couldn’t have expected things to have been as perfect as they were. Amazing and thank you.

    Our family cannot thank Carol enough for all her support during the organisation of mum's funeral of this difficult time. Her caring manner and professionalism in making our mum's funeral the day that mum wanted was outstanding. Nothing was too much for her and along with Kelly we were able to give mum the send off she deserved. All of the Canterbury Co-op team were amazing, from the moment we contacted them, but without Carol and Kelly's support we would not have been able to honour mum's memory. Thank you does not seem enough to reflect all they did for us.

  • 5 Gary Wyver 1st Aug 2022

    Excellent organisation from start to finish, lovely people to deal with.

  • 5 Roy Pickup 21st Jul 2022

    Geoff's family were so grateful to all the staff at the Co-op Funeralcare in Canterbury.  They kept us informed throughout the time Geoff was in their care and showed us kindness and consideration at all times. Carol Davies was particularly kind and helpful.

  • 5 Mark Dellow 5th Jul 2022

    Although I have had unpleasant dealings with a ( completely different branch of ) Co-op Funeral Services in the past, I have to say that on this occasion I could not find fault with them at all. Carol, who dealt with the admin side of things, and Kelly, who conducted the funeral on the day, were both extremely pleasant and helpful. Based on this experience, I would recommend them highly.

  • 5 Peter Humphrey 21st Jun 2022

    Carol and Kelly have done a brilliant job preparing my wife Christine for her funeral, Carol made all the arrangements in a week, Kelly greeted me on the day of the funeral and made me feel at ease, I would like to thank them both, the Coop are very lucky to have these two ladies working for them.

  • 5 Paula Webb 20th Jun 2022

    I found that Carol was really patient and was a great help. Everyone involved with the funeral were so thoughtful and caring.

  • 5 Sarah Mackenzie 9th Jun 2022

    Dealt with Carol and her team at Canterbury Co-op Funeralcare who were excellent from start to finish. Carole answered all our questions and queries professionally, with compassion and made calls to see how we were coping with our loss.  The undertakers on the day were professional and extremely compassionate and professional . We as a family could not have asked for any more at such a difficult time for us all.

  • 5 Maureen Holness 30th May 2022

    We were very pleased with the support and guidance that all the staff gave us and would thoroughly recommend the coop funeral care

  • 5 Susan Mcintosh 30th May 2022

    Can not thank all the staff for their kindness and compassion during this sad time 
    Carol is a credit to the company who went up and beyond the call of duty over the weeks we were dealing with her. 
    I would highly recommend the coop for any funeral requirements as could not fault them in any way  

  • 5 Christine Kidd 30th May 2022

    I am full of gratitude for the kindness and respect both I and my mother received from carol and the funeral director. The service we had was perfect. With much love and thanks. Christine 

  • 5 John Goad 30th May 2022

    The funeral went off exactly as we hoped thanks to the very professional approach of all of those involved on the day. In particular, we would like to thank Carol at the office in Canterbury for whom nothing was too much trouble and her advice at such a difficult time was so helpful to us.

  • 5 Rachel Maud 23rd May 2022

    The arrangements for the funeral were made very efficiently. It was not very easy because it was being arranged from a distance, but the problems that occurred were surmounted. On the day everything went as planned and was made very easy for us. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. A difficult time was made easier for me.

  • 5 Joanna Fay 23rd May 2022

    We had such professional and carrying service from both ladies. Everything has been perfect.
    Thank you so much

    My Mum’s funeral was conducted wonderfully by the very professional funeral directors from the Coop, Canterbury. They reassured me when required and gave me confidence that everything was being taken care of. 
    My initial call left me wondering whether they were too busy to take on my business, but they put themselves out to see me very quickly and get things started. The coffin I’d chosen was not able to be delivered in time, which was a disappointment. However the alternative choice did look very suitable. 
    On the day of the funeral  it was very touching to leave from Mum’s home and the director led us on foot, respectfully, as we left her home address. The guys (sorry can’t remember the names)  were discreet but had everything under control.

  • 5 Paul Hewitt 9th May 2022

    As a family, we all felt completely supported and guided through the process of arranging our Dad's funeral. The care we received from Carol and Kelly was beyond what we had expected and all of the staff on the day.
    Communication between us all was quick and clear and nothing was too much trouble.
    An amazing team, thank you.
