    We were very satisfied with the service that we received. They were very understanding with what we were going through and made the process easier for myself and the family.

  • 5 David Fitzgerald 3rd Jul 2023

    Both my parents funerals were dealt with by the Co-op offices in Shildon and Darlington. Most recently when my father passed away the service provided by Jessica at Shildon and Julie at Darlington was excellent. Julie in particular handled the whole affair in a sincere and professional manner. I can’t praise them enough.

  • 5 Lisa Caine 2nd Nov 2022

    Toni was absolutely amazing, I really didn't expect such a bespoke, personal service delivered with empathy and kindness throughout. Toni made the whole experience of planning my mum's funeral endurable. She was so supportive, informative and patient. This lady must help so many people in such sad times. It's not something I have ever considered before, but clearly it's an essential service and I will never consider using any other than Toni and the Co-Operative
