I cannot praise Coop Funeralcare enough for their professional caring service. From the moment they first rang me they made me feel that everything would run smoothly and without stress and could not do enough to ensure that I was happy with all the family's wishes to ensure a perfect funeral. I received emails or phone calls to update me on any changes that I made and I was always made to feel I was aware and in control of the proceedings. A special thank you to Courtney French who was fantastic with organising everything with my mother and I. Having to organise a funeral is a stressful and sad time and yet Coop Funeralcare made me feel calm and in control knowing my dear family member who had passed away would be given the best and most respectful farewell I could wish for. I would never choose anywhere else now. Thank you so much

Courtney has been extremely professional and supportive throughout. Also everyone at the funeral home have been lovely. I would also like to thank Lindsey Russell the Funeral Arranger who has been both helpful, patient and very kind in helping arrange the headstone. I cannot fault any of the staff and would like to thank all of them for making this process as painless as it can be. One last thing, every time I left a message asking either  Courtney or Lindsey to call me back they did. Thank you.

    Thank you to everyone for the care and attention given in the preparation and carrying out of Mam’s Funeral. Staff behaved with dignity, kindness and respect throughout. She was cared for wonderfully in your Chapel of Rest and we were comforted to see how smart she looked in her outfit and it is exactly how she would have wanted to look.

    Service provided by the Co-Op funeral care was to a high quality and standard, very good with communication and what needed to be fulfilled prior to the day.

    Can't praise David and the team high enough. Would give 10 stars if I could. Personal and compassionate service when I needed it most

  • 5 Julie Anderson 16th Feb 2021

    Courtney and the team could not have been more supportive. Having never arranged a funeral before they talked us through every step, and gave my dad the funeral we wanted for him. I cannot recommend highly enough.

  • 5 Marie Shotton 15th Feb 2021

    The care and support  was outstanding, I was kept informed every step of the way. Would recommend the Co-op for family and friends

  • 5 Diane Nelson 8th Feb 2021

    The service we received was excellent. With a special thanks to Alison, Sophie and Ann they could not have been better  in ensuring my mums wishes were carried out. They showed so much kindness, gentleness and empathy at this sad time. Checking in, and keeping the family informed throughout, I cannot thank them enough for looking after us especially in these unprecedented times. 

  • 5 Dawn Whittle 8th Feb 2021

    Was absolutely dreading making the arrangements, however Courtney made this process a lot easier . She  directed me through the paperwork with ease , and to be honest took the weight of my shoulders . 
    Communication was second to none , and delivered a very professional and beautiful service . In a situation like this you need that re assurance that everything will be ok , and allow the professionals to do their jobs . Trust me you will not be disappointed. 

  • 5 Sheila Cowie 6th Feb 2021

    Thank you
