I would not only like to thank Lynne and David for the care and compassion they showed us as a family but also for the respect and dignity they showed Eveline and for that the family will be eternally grateful. David Bell and family

The coop have served us well at a difficult time. Craig and the team have been extremely empathetic, supportive and always available to us at all times throughout. We thank you all and would recommend you.🌹

Craig, Lynne and the team were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and caring helping and advising me through the process and options  for my late brothers burial.  I live abroad and so initially through e-mail and telephone conversations.  Once I arrived back in the U.K. all the relevant paperwork was ready for me to attend to.  Alison Hayton , the humanist celebrant had contacted me and also arranged a face to face meeting.  Any worries  I had were swiftly allayed by the team calmly and empathetically.   The funeral was perfect no other word for it.    A fitting tribute to my brother and carried out at all times with the utmost of respect, friendliness and most of all care.  Some of the mourners commented what  a beautiful service and burial it was.  I would not hesitate to recommend when you need someone to ease the burden during the loss of a loved one.

    All aspects of the care and support both Mam and ourselves received was of the highest quality. Craig Button’s professional, respectful and caring attitude was a great comfort to us as a family. Sincere thanks to all staff involved in any way.

    Craig and the rest of the staff were very sympathetic during the whole procedure of organising my sisters funeral and were very professional in every way from the start right to the funeral service itself. Thank you Craig and staff for everything.

  • 5 Marjorie Wake 3rd Jan 2023

    Very good service, treated with empathy by all concerned

  • 5 Gillian Illingworth 3rd Jan 2023

    Craig Button could not do enough for us to make sure it all went exactly as we wanted. Being disabled he always reassured me that he would always help me too. He is very caring and also very professional at the same time. Nobody could have done more. Excellent service.

  • 5 Amanda Hayward 3rd Jan 2023

    The service and care were excellent. I was kept informed and consulted all the way through, before and after the funeral.  Craig is so professional, and has great empathy.  The whole team are super supportive at a very difficult time.  Nothing is too much trouble for them.  Highly recommend.  Sadly I have needed their services three times in recent years but there is no-one else I would trust my loved ones to.

  • 5 Ann Innes 20th Dec 2022

    I couldn’t fault the care we received other than what seemed to be a long wait for Mam to be transferred from the hospital to the funeral home - a total of 11 days (4 days were over the 2 weekends) which we found rather stressful.  Other than that everything went smoothly 

  • 4 Gillian Kelly 19th Dec 2022

    We used the coop funeral services recently to arrange my Dads funeral. David, the funeral director, was very helpful & understanding in all of his dealings with us. We were kept informed throughout of progress.  The funeral went as well as we’d wanted & all coop staff were professional & helpful. Many thanks
