Our Funeral Director Kevin Philips dealt with our mother's funeral and he helped to make the awful experience as easy as possible for us. He answered email queries we had promptly and we felt reassured that he was in control of the process and that he had our best interests at heart. The humanist lady who he put us in touch with for the service was also excellent and we could not have wished for a better send off for our mam. Thank you so much

  • 5 Stanley David Scorer 6th Feb 2023

    From the outset we received excellent advice both legally and of a practical nature regarding the organisation of my uncle's funeral plan.
    Communication regarding updates to the arrangements was seemless and we were also put in touch with a brilliant funeral celebrant, Maggie Edge, who made a fantastic job of delivering the family eulogy on the day.
    Finally, there was a lovely, unprompted, touch by Chris our funeral director, who arranged for the cortege route to pass my uncle's favourite pub, which would have meant so much to my uncle.

  • 5 Elsie Dixon 23rd Jan 2023

    I found the services from the director co-op funeral care outstanding. From the initial meeting and to completion. Although my husband`s funeral was only on the 18th January `Kevin` who was our main contact continues to ensure that everything we needed or remain to need will be carried out to our satisfaction.
    I would not hesitate to recommend the Co-op funeral-care services.

    Couldn't have asked for better care. Anne was wonderful and made the whole experience peaceful and dignified.

  • 5 Shirley Roughead 9th Aug 2022

    Many thanks for all your help during this very difficult time. The team have been what Paul would have described as ‘spot on’ as the service was impeccable. Notably Anne for being kind and patient at the chapel of rest, Chris for also being kind and patient and for leading in a compassionate manner, making the entire process run smoothly. We especially appreciated the little touches such as slowing next to where Paul last worked. Lastly, but by no means least, we’d like to thank Ian for his delivery of the service on the day. He did an amazing job, capturing the essence of Paul in a warm, caring way. Superb! Thank you all so very much. Your kindness will be remembered x

  • 5 Tracy Thomson 18th Jul 2022

    Ian and Anne are an excellent team who handled my Nan's funeral with the utmost efficiency and professionalism. The funeral went according to plan and was exactly as the family wanted it to be and this was all down to their fantastic organisation. They are both very approachable and deal with you in a kind and caring manner, this was my first time arranging a funeral but I felt I was in very safe hands as they both guided me through this very difficult time. Ian and Anne are assets to the Co-op.
