  • 5 Arran Jenkins 24th Dec 2021

    The team at Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service are second to none. From the initial telephone call to notify of the death through making the arrangements, facilitating family requests, the actual service to collection of the remains the staff were all exemplary. Thank you to Paul for collecting my wife, Heidi for helping us with the arrangements, Kerry for leading things on the day and everyone else involved with looking after her and our family before she was finally laid to rest. I would never consider going anywhere else.

  • 3 Judy Saunders 9th Nov 2021

    Although on the day everything went perfectly, I feel quite distressed about the number of mistakes which were made in the organising of my Mum's funeral and the misinformation given. The most distressing being that it was not explained that as my mum was being taken to the church at 5pm the evening before, that that was when the reception service would be and not that it would take place an hour after when all of my Mum's family from Ireland would be there. So when the Deacon performed the service, no one was there!!!
