    Shirley and Chris have been incredibly efficient, supportive and committed to our needs. From the first phone call, asking for help when Doris passed away suddenly, to making sure we arrived safely at the Wake with her picture and flower tributes, they made a sad time bearable. Thank you.

  • 5 Anne-Marie Ellison-Wardlaw 25th Apr 2022

    Very sympathetic, understanding and supportive through a difficult time. There was no hard sell and all staff acted with the utmost professionalism and dignity. The web link did not work on the day of the funeral which was very disappointing for some of my relatives living abroad but this was not through any fault of the funeral directors but an issue with the local authority however every effort was made to help find an alternative solution.

    Organising a funeral will always be difficult, but Chris Henderson and the team at Co-op Whitley Bay made the whole process very straightforward. They were kind, compassionate and efficient, and ensured that my mum's funeral was exactly how she and the family wanted it. I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Chris and the team at Whitley Bay Co-Op Funeralcare made a very difficult time much easier with their compassion and excellent customer service. They explained everything clearly, and were supportive of the things that we wanted to arrange separately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

    After having a very poor experience with a Co-op franchise many years ago, I swore I wouldn’t use the Co-op again. But friends recommended this coastal franchise, combining North Shields, Whitley Bay and Blyth and I’m so glad I listened to them.  Kelly (based in Blyth) and Shirley (in Whitley Bay) have completely restored my faith. They dealt with my family with great professionalism, empathy and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble ( even down to Kelly’s offer to keep an eye on our dog during the funeral service, an offer we didn't need in the end, but was most appreciated!) My aunt’s funeral went without a hitch and we certainly felt looked after all the way through.  Thank you ladies, for everything you did for us. 

  • 5 Wendy Stephenson 14th Feb 2022

I would have no hesitation in recommending your funeral care services to anyone..

    Chris & Shirley at Whitley Bay are an asset to your Company..
