Good morning Yvonne. Thank you for the kind words. Is there a particular reason you marked us as 1 out of 5? We'd be happy to discuss further if there is anything else we can do. -

The whole process was handled with patience and understanding with prompt responses to queries, to make the day of the funeral and prior to this. The whole event ran smoothly and in line with the family’s wishes.

CoOp Funeral Directors in Writtle provide a compassionate and caring service for your Funeral needs.
After the sudden and tragic loss of our daughter Gemma, which was complicated by Coroner's involvement, I contacted Cara by telephone for her help.
Cara immediately, and with great care, new exactly what to do, and was a very reassuring guide through initial Coroners stage.
Family later attended her office and again, Cara very gently talked through the process and discussed our needs and wishes.
She was a continued presence and support during all the arrangements to be made.
On the day, the Funeral Director, Mark was a dignified and respectful guide from start to finish on the day.
Cars and staff were immaculately turned out and could not possibly have done more for us.
Sadly, this is the third time I have used CoOp in Writtle.
Cara handled my Fathers Funeral 2 years ago as Covid was arriving in the UK.
After her care and kindness shown at all stages, I would not consider going anywhere else when we recently lost our daughter Gemma.
Of course we did not 'shop around' in terms of the costs, but I believe they are competitive for the excellent levels of service provided now on a number of occasions for our family.
So, a huge 'Thank You' to Cara, Mark and other staff at CoOp office in Writtle.
From a bereaved, but grateful family of 'Boyd's' -

Kari and the rest of the team have been wonderful. Right from the start, when we first contacted Kari, we have been treated with great compassion and friendliness. Every step of the way the staff have been extremely helpful, and really interested in our ideas for the service, booklet, music, etc. I have had great confidence in their ability and intuition as to how we chose to conduct Mum's funeral at this emotional and sad time. I would be very happy to recommend Co-op funeral services.
Thank you so much.

My father died at home on a weekend and I hadn't researched local Funeral Directors. I had to make a quick decision so checked online and chose the Co-op after seeing so many positive reviews. I was grateful for the team who collected dad on the Saturday and for Kari Bennett at Braintree Clare Road who called me on the Monday to explain the funeral process. No funeral can ever really be described as "cheap" but Kari was able to help me not waste money. She was kind and caring throughout the organising stages and we got the service we planned.

First time I’ve had to the horrendous job of sorting out a funeral. Couldn’t have better help and guidance from Carri to make the day go well and to give Kerry the send of she deserved. Our thanks to you all at cooperative funeral service.

Excellent, professional and caring service from all the staff involved. Everyone made us feel like my mother's funeral was the only one that they had to deal with and it was as important to them as it was to us. I can't speak highly enough of the compassionate service we received.
