  • 5 Stella Soper 9th Nov 2022

    On the two occasions that we have used the Hockley Co-operative Funeral Care services, we have found them to be totally caring and attentive throughout the whole process. I would, in particular like to mention that Verity Callender could not have been more helpful and sympathetic during such difficult times.

  • 5 Stuart Le Grice 7th Nov 2022

    From the first moment we met with Verity at the Hockley branch of the Co-Operative Funeral Services, we were treated with compassion, understanding and professionalism.
    Any questions and concerns we had were dealt with straight away, and Verity kept us updated regularly as the process unfolded.
    It seems an odd thing to say that you'd recommend a funeral home, but we really could not have been in better hands.
    Verity and everyone at Co-Operative Funeral care made an horrendous situation just that little bit easier to deal with.

  • 5 Dean Smith 7th Nov 2022
