  • 5 Ronald Walker 11th Dec 2023

    While many of us have had to attend funerals, most of us have rarely had to organise a funeral, mercifully. I can therefore wholeheartedly thank the Coop funeral service in Bishop Auckland for helping me through the process of organising the event and making sensible choices along the way. Significant behind the scenes work was clearly done and the result was a moving and meaningful cremation service with extremely well presented hearse and cortege on the day. My thanks to all who played a part and I recommend the Coop's funeral service should you find yourself needing to face this difficult task.
