Having just cremated my mother, and what was a very difficult/ emotional time the whole staff team dealt with the whole process professionally / respectfully and with sympathy. Thank you to all involved.

I simply don't have the words to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Barbera at Co-Op Funercare in Holbury. After Barbera supported me through my Dad's death a few years ago I knew I had to go back when my Mum sadly passed away in January. The time and care she gave me made the hardest of experiences manageable. Barbera is a sensational person and I will never be able to thank her enough for the help she has given me. For the love and care she has shown both my parents after their death I will be forever grateful. There is simply no better funeral home out there - Co-Op Funeral Care in Holbury is truly special. Thank you Barbera x

    The whole service went really well and everyone involved was so helpful and professional. Mum would have been very happy and proud with how the service went. On behalf of all my family I would like to thank you all for everything you did and for making such a sad day also a very happy one full of wonderful memories. Best wishes to you all. Peter and family xx

    From the moment the Co-operative funeral care came to collect my dad, they showed nothing but respect towards him and compassion towards myself - thank you. 

    Barbera Ince at the Holbury Office is an angel on earth and as she did with my mum, looked after both my dad and me. Her manner and compassion is second to none, and her little personal thoughtful touches, mean such a lot. She is a true credit to the company and funeral service. 

    I was ‘over the moon’ with the finished Orders of Service and Memory Book - dad would have been truly touched.

    As with Mum, Barbera arranged for dad to travel up to Bath for the funeral and personally rang me to say he had arrived safely. 

    The funeral was overseen by Steve from the Warmly Office and he too was  genuinely compassionate and the service provided was personal and just as planned. 
     
    I am truly thankful to all involved and wouldn’t hesitate to use the Co-operative again one day.

  • 5 Delia Greengrove 2nd Jan 2024

    Very helpful, clear information. Professional, yet empathic communication. Which is so important at an emotional time for remaining family having to make many decisions and grappling with trying to understand funeral care insurance/savings policies and numerous other expenses.

    It took several attempts to get the funeral plan organised which was disappointing .

    Thank you

  • 5 Pamela Morgan 2nd Oct 2023

    Cannot fault the service we received for our mum. Mum was our world and had suffered horrendous pain in her last few years, she was 91 when she passed.  When we saw her the co-op had made her look 20 years younger, beautiful and totally at peace. Claire and Charlene were so supportive, helpful and caring.  We had the basic pre-paid plan, everything was great.  I highly recommend the co-op in Holbury Southampton- Thankyou
