    Many thanks on behalf of the whole family to all at the Co-op for the supportive, caring and highly professional service you provide that ensured mum got the best send off she could possibly have had. Mandy and Leah were excellent in helping us arrange the funeral and provided support and advice that ensured the service was a fitting tribute to mum. The team on the day were also highly  professional and helped guide us through the proceedings in a supportive and caring manner. The services the co-op provides are second to none. Your help and assistance was very much appreciated.We all thank you so much.

    Everyone we came into contact with was professional but always kind and caring. Janice gently helped us navigate through the process. Everything was clearly explained and questions answered. The day itself ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for more at what is a very difficult time and would highly recommend the Co-op funeral service.

    The team at the co op were amazing and walked me through every step of the way. At such a traumatic time you need people who understand what you are going through and these guys were very thoughtful and made mums funeral very special. I was arranging it all from overseas but that didn’t pose a problem at all, I would highly recommend them.
