  • 5 Evan Webb 7th Nov 2022

    From start to finish an excellent all round service for my brother David Webb.
    With Joanne & Clair in the office being very supportive, caring, respectful, & very helpful in every aspect!
    Barbara who walked in front of the hearse going to the church also walked with me behind the coffin into the church, how caring was that!!!!! this because there was only me to walk alone behind! I had no one else.
    I cannot fault this service that I received in any way, they deserve five plus stars!
    From a very grateful Mr Evan Webb, thank you all.

  • 3 Jennifer Whale 15th Aug 2022

    Too many small mistakes, one eulogy missed completely caused by humanist minister who completely ignored him and no one knew where the donation box was being located at crematorium resulting in it being taken back to the reception at marriott royal county with lesser donations.   Missed opportunity, due to overrun of previous funeral knock on effect music all being cut back and shortened to fit within allocated time. Sadly definitely not the best but then again you have te market definitely room for improvement.

  • 5 Pauline Makepeace 15th Aug 2022

    Excellent communication throughout. First class service. Clear advice and costings.

  • 5 Terence Coyle 15th Aug 2022

    Without the help of  the Co.op team I would have been totally lost ,from the first meeting until the final service everything was taken care of, nothing was a trouble and everything was explained clearly. It is a pleasure to meet such caring staff they are indeed a credit to the Society.
    Once again many thanks.
