Anne Bromley 21st Mar 2022

I would love to have given a 5 star rating as Melanie was incredible, and didn't flinch at any of the million and one questions we asked. My only thought for improvement was around payment - I requested to pay by cheque, as the bank will only issue cheques from a deceased account directly for the purpose of paying funeral directors (and I believe probate fees), and I did not have enough funds of my own to cover the fees. It felt like an unusual request at the time, and permission had to be sought, then agreed. However I was not given a correct payee (I believe each Funeral director holds their own account, and so would need to be accurate). I called the number on the correspondence k Garforth office, which redirected) from the bank and nobody could confirm the payee, just kept repeating the sort code and account number which I didn't need as I was drawing a cheque. I had my first full sobbing session in the banking hall in the Halifax. The manager kindly went beyond his remit and authorised a Bacs transfer directly to the co-op. I feel that throughout this, the incredible kindness of Melanie and all my interactions with the co-op, that this simple request should be a standard one, and correct information be given for this purpose. Banks are only able to issue funds from deceased accounts for specific purposes, and SHOULD only be by cheque - I was very fortunate, and incredible embarrassed, that the manager of the Halifax went above and beyond to do a BACS transfer.

    I can't thank Paul & Melanie enough for the service that they provided for my late husband. I had never been in a funeral parlor before let alone arrange a funeral.
    Paul and Melanie was so caring and compassionate and helped me come to terms with sorting everything out right down to the last minute of the service.
    Thank you again Paul & Melanie!! X
