  • 4 Samantha Tanner 11th Jul 2022

    Very helpful staff, sorted problem with the vicar without putting the stress on to me. Funeral went seamless.

  • 4 Mark Cotton 5th Jul 2022

    Great understanding and care, and flexible with changing requirements.
    My only frustration was my name not being used in correspondence, just directly into the correspondence, but apart from the very good service.

  • 4 Barbara Ann Bradford 20th Jun 2022

  • 5 Alan David Taylor 15th Jun 2022

    Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to Caroline Willis at Petts Wood who was so kind and helpful to us for making the funeral arrangements for my late wife and also for recommending Michelle (the Minister) who was also exceptional. The funeral went without a hitch and it turned out just the way we wanted it. So a big thank you to all concerned at Funeralcare including Vernon the kind, helpful Funeral Director. I would recommend Co-op Funeralcare to anyone.

  • 5 Patricia Ann Lambourne 14th Jun 2022

    Very professional and thorough service. Unfortunately we found ourselves using the Co-op twice in less than five months. The did not let us down at all.  Thank you so much

  • 5 Stephen Smythe 13th Jun 2022

  • 5 Laraine Hawkins 6th Jun 2022

    Caroline at Petts Wood handled my Dad's funeral in the most professional and sympathetic manner. We had never planned a funeral before but despite our never-ending questions & requests, she remained friendly and approachable throughout. Thanks to Caroline, Marc and the team at Co-op, we were able to give Dad the wonderful farewell he deserved. Our family are very grateful x

  • 5 Susan Graystone 6th Jun 2022

  • 5 Marcus Marnham 21st Apr 2022

    I was put onto Caroline @ Petts Wood Funeralcare. Caroline was amazing!


    The handling of my initial communication was completed seamlessly and professionally. Especially as I was unable to go into the Funeralcare office.

    When meeting Caroline at the agreed appointment. Everything was clearly explained and support was there throughout, until the day of the funeral.

    I cannot express enough, my families gratitude to to support offered by Caroline and the Funeral team. A special mention must go to Simon on the day. Who stepped us through every piece of the plan and what we needed to do.

    My thanks goes out to the whole Co-Op Funeralcare team.

  • 5 Jonathan Timms 12th Apr 2022

    All the staff at Petts Wood and Orpington (particularly Belinda and Sam) could not have been more helpful during this difficult time. We explained what we wanted and everyone was proactive in ensuring that mum got the funeral she had planned. They even came up with suggestions for little details that we hadn’t thought of. They got the balance between remaining professional and showing empathy exactly right. I can’t recommend highly enough….

  • 3 Julie Fincham 21st Mar 2022

    Went in explaining father had bought a plan but i could not find.
    Was told they will sort and get back to me. A week later still no response and by then I found the policy. I then telephoned , being given the excuse post code did not marry up with address (Their mistake) and still reluctant to proceed.
    Given funeral date by email. Responded date was fine. Told family. Next day received email ,date had been taken. Given another date , again said yes.
    No response so went to shop and sat there until confirmed date given. Else emails would just be going back and forth.
    Printed order of service. I ok,d not realising that the most simplest of things were wrong 202 instead of 2022. The date!!
    Emailed to say this was wrong. Was told it had been noted, believing this was noted before my comments and before print.
    On the funeral day these wrong printed order of service books were brought a long with the agreed ones.!!!
    All in all... more respect from the service organisers than from the shop. Complete contrast to 'Doves' that we used 2 months earlier for my husbands mother.

    What a lovely caring and helpful funeral directors Caroline and Paul and all the staff, thank you.

  • 5 Charles Patrick Chambers 14th Mar 2022

    A lovley day all went smoothly thanks to the staff at petts wood 

  • 2 Christina Hanley 7th Mar 2022

    I left a message at the Catford Branch and before they returned my call your Sales Department rang me asking about sorting out the deceased persons financial affairs. 

    I wasn’t told I could organise the cremation direct with The undertakers who gave the contest with Beckenham which would have been so much better. 

    Finally, you have asked me to review you when the deceased is still in your care, surely you could have waited. In my opinion your Company is only in it for the money!!
