Gary McGee and Petra at Co-op Westerhope helped us to arrange the perfect funeral for Mum and the day went without a hitch. We were kept well informed at every step of the process. Thank you so much to all involved for the care and empathy you showed us all.

    At a time of stress and sadness the Co-op helped by arranging everything.

    Kevin the Funeral Director was so understanding and answered any queries with haste, and the funeral itself was wonderful, although so obviously sad.

    Thank you

    We were all very happy with the care and sensitivity shown by Westerhope Co-op.

  • 5 Gillian Danskin 3rd Jan 2023

    From the initial contact until after the funeral the service provided was exceptional. Professional caring staff. Our initial contact at a very emotional time was made easier with the absolute caring nature of the young lady who attended just after the passing of my mother. From then on the attention to detail in such a caring way was second to none. Gary ensured that everything was perfect and guided us through all the processes excellently. I was so impressed with the celebrant he chose - he could not have chosen a more perfect person to perform the service. The staff in the office and chapel of rest were all so lovely and caring. All in all we could not have been more looked after at this traumatic time. I can’t thank Gary and his colleagues enough. Over and above what I would have expected.

  • 5 Grace Weir 19th Dec 2022

    I would highly recommend the services of the Westerhope Co-op
    Funeralcare. The process of arranging a funeral is stressful, but I was supported by Gary and his team, to achieve a funeral that was personalised for my friend. Everyone went above and beyond my expectations. The celebrant, Simon, wrote a beautiful tribute which really captured my friend's life experiences and how he tried to overcome personal issues to live as positively as he could. Thanks to everyone for creating a beautiful funeral,and caring about a man with no relatives, but with many friends.
