How do I find the right words...
We have used the co-op funeral care in Gateshead, through previous events in our life when they offered such a comforting and caring, professional service. We called upon them once again, this time for the sudden passing of my beloved Mam. From the minute we met Nichola and Lyndsey, they had us at ease!
They led me and my family through the whole process with empathy, compassion and patience. We chatted and celebrated my Mam's life. Nichola helped me make some difficult decisions, with no pressure and guided me through every stage.  
They were also really great to contact anytime, they always replied back in a timely manner, chatting along the way with reassuring words and comfort.

We also had the privilege of Simon Devlin leading my mams service to celebrate her life. Together, their natural ability and genuine interest led directly to my mams heart warming and authentic service.
I can't thank you all enough for adding such depth and warmth to my Mams 'Celebration of Life'

You should be extremely proud of yourselves and for the wonderful service you provide.

When I reflect and think about my Mam's service, even at times through tears and sorrow, I feel so proud and privileged to be part of such a fitting and gorgeous 'send off' for my Mam.
After all.. the only guarantee in life, is death, so 'Celebration of Life', for me, is recognition and creates a testament to our loved ones.

If you still have any doubts, ring this fabulous team and speak to them...
I hope my review helps offer reassurance and comfort to anyone who may need this service.

5 Joan Briers 23rd Jan 2023

Excellent service once again from Nichola and the team. Unfortunately needed the services of the Co op funeral service for the second time in 10 months and the professional, dignified and friendly service was second to none. 

5 Joanna Sutton 23rd Jan 2023

All the staff that I dealt with were absolutely lovely very professional especially Alison the funeral director and Lyndsey kept me informed all the way through the process of my Dads funeral

5 Helen Holmes 23rd Jan 2023

Right from the beginning we felt in good hands.
Everything was explained to us by Alison our dedicated contact and director.
 All the worry of organising the day was removed at such a sad time.

Thank you

Nichola and team we very caring and efficient. They worked closely with me ensuring everything regarding my aunt’s funeral was exactly as she would have wanted it. I had taken out a pre paid plan for my aunt and it worked out extremely well and any additional costs were explained straight away. My aunt passed away during the Christmas period which meant doctors holidays delayed some actions like registering of death but the team were so efficient in their actions we were still able to meet the date we hoped for the funeral. I would certainly recommend them to anyone and myself and my family were very grateful for their support throughout. 

5 Tony Dunlop 16th Jan 2023

Excellent level of service from start to finish. All very professional & caring people, nothing was too much of a problem to them to make you feel at ease & make the day go smoothly. The whole family are very grateful 

5 Julie Waggott 16th Jan 2023

Claire and her team were very professional, caring without being intrusive. We were contacted by Claire on a regular basis to determine how we were doing, and to ensure we were happy with the arrangements.

5 Lyn Rundle 16th Jan 2023

The care we received was outstanding. They made a difficult time more bearable. David and his team are kind, caring and understanding.
We did ask for the curtains to remain open at the crematorium and they were closed at the end of the service. Not sure if the instruction was passed on or the reverend closed them by mistake. Just felt the need to mention this for future reference. Thank you again

5 Gemma Coxon 16th Jan 2023

I was so pleased with all the help and everything they did we didn't have to do anything as they done it all for us. They ring to see if you are OK I would definitely recommend them to sort out funeral

5 Patrick Wilson 10th Jan 2023

From the very beginning the service provided by your staff was exemplary, I cannot find fault with anything they did, particularly at such a time, and me and my family are very grateful for their help and guidance, which enabled us to give our mother the send off we wished and she deserved. Thank you.

5 Thomas Hall 5th Jan 2023

I was very pleased with the experience at Co-op funeral Care. It was a very difficult time and felt the respect and dignity showed by the staff in all areas helped. After all this is your loved one and the most precious person to you.

5 Derek Jones 21st Dec 2022

My wife and myself were treated with compassion from all of the staff, from when we first phoned the Co op and announced that my mum passing away until right up  to when we were outside the crematorium getting back into the car after the cremation.
Thank you all
