  • 5 John Chesworth 14th Apr 2023

    Very well handled all the way through, from start to finish. All the staff I dealt with were great, but I can't thank Leah enough for her help when we were struggling to get a death certificate. What could have been a painful process was made a lot easier thanks to her help.

    On the day the funeral was well handled, and Tony was very helpful in making sure we knew exactly what was happening, and when.

    A brilliant, all round service. Thank you.

  • 5 Paul Fell 20th Mar 2023

    Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service recently handled the funeral arrangements for my late wife, and I can not speak too highly of the service they provided. My Funeral Arranger, Heidi, was so very helpful in advising me and guiding me through every aspect and detail of the arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and I felt that a huge burden had been lifted off me at a time when I was at my lowest ebb. All of the staff were kind, compassionate and helpful, and on the day of the funeral the Conductor, Kerry, ensured that everything ran perfectly to plan. Everyone who attended was very impressed, and I felt that my wife had been a beautiful and dignified farewell. My sincere thanks to all staff at Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service.

    Glen Speak replied
    Tank you Mr Fell for those very kind words. I will be sure to pass on your compliments to the whole team involved.
