I have to say the Cooperative Funeral Service was outstanding. Richard Charlton the Funeral Director was so professional when taking our requests and organising a wonderful celebrant for us and keeping us informed throughout. On the day of the funeral everything ran smoothly from the journey to the Crematorium and the direction of Service from Chris who ran things in a sensitive unrushed manner. Thanks for enabling our family to celebrate our mother's life with dignity.

Ian was amazing with all the details for the funeral, nothing was to much to ask or arrange, beautiful service from them all and the service its self.

Ruth Loughran 16th Jan 2024

Excellent service. Ian was very caring and made a stressful time easier. He kept me informed of any developments by numerous telephone calls. Everything on the day was great and made easier as the staff at Co-op funeral were great. Would high recommend to anybody, thanks

    I was very impressed with the compassion and professionalism shown by Alanah, Jackie and Roz.
    It was very much appreciated.

    On the day it was traumatic but the "team" handled the organisation excellently, which again I and my family were very grateful for.

    I will have no hesitation in recommending Coop Funeralcare to others.

  • 5 Shirley Fletcher 8th Dec 2023

    In my time of need, the Co-op went above and beyond to help me and my family.
    Due to a plan with the Co-op, which my Mother took out many years before her death, she had the funeral she wanted. They looked after us before, on and after the day. I cannot praise them enough

  • 5 Gillian Shepherd 8th Nov 2023

    Excellent care and compassion from this team.

  • 5 David Black 2nd Nov 2023

    I was highly satisfied with the experience overall. I found the whole process easy to engage with and I was supported throughout the process. The additional support in the form of a discussion with legal colleagues was really appreciated. I needed some clarity, as having some legal knowledge myself, I felt I was able to deal with all activities relating to the settlement of mums estate, but just needed a discussion to remind myself of the processes. The advice and information given was brilliant and confirmed that my knowledge was up to date and allowed me to proceed with the various processes necessary to finalise matters.

    What I appreciated the most about the service provided was that I did not feel any pressure to select a particular type of funeral when I met the funeral director. I was guided through the implications of the choices I had made. A relative had sent flowers to the funeral home on the day of the funeral and they were placed on the coffin as I had requested. I was pleased to see this had happened on the day.

  • 5 Andrew Reed 31st Oct 2023

    From start to finish, an absolute 5 star service from a 5 star company. I wouldn't go anywhere else. My Funeral Director Gary was a pleasure to deal with, nothing was an issue.

    The Coop funeral care team at Benwell Newcastle have been amazing. They have cared for us and all the family from the first day when we arranged my Dad’s funeral. The team took great care of my Dad. The staff made us very welcome when we visited the chapel of rest.
