    We found all the staff at co op funeral carvery compassionate and caring. Totally professional throughout and a special thank you to Craig thank you all so much

  • 4 Debbie Leadbetter 12th Feb 2024

    Friendly, supportive staff - nothing was too much trouble and they made everything easy. This would be an 'excellent' review if they hadn't messed up with the bespoke flowers we ordered. They did give us a replacement for the day and didn't charge us for the flowers in the end, but it wasn't the horse which we ordered.

  • 4 Sylvia Newman 7th Feb 2024

  • 5 Susan Margerum 5th Feb 2024

    The help and care I received during this was second to none. I had never had to do anything like this before and Ness and the team guided me through step by step. I truly feel proud of what with their help I was able to achieve. I feel that my brother Chris had the best funeral that he could have had and I am so thankful to you all.

  • 5 Claire List 2nd Jan 2024

    Absolutely amazing service, from the first phone call to the last visit. Above and beyond their call of duty. Thank you too all and a special thank you to Ness

  • 5 Carole Rudland 8th Dec 2023

    Very caring & understanding staff a big thank you to Lauren Jess & Craig for all you help

  • 5 Lynn Bell 5th Dec 2023

    Everything about the cremation itself was excellent, Craig and Donna were both exceptional.
    The only thing that let down the experience was the office where we made the arrangements which was rather shabby and dated. There was only one person in the office so she had to leave us half way through when some builders arrived. I also felt it was rather unproffessional to have a can of drink on the table. Having said all that, the young lady was very helpful and helped with an obviously difficult occassion.

  • 5 Jackie Hammond 27th Nov 2023

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for more, nothing was too much trouble. We was kept updated from start to finish. It’s such a sad and upsetting time but Vanessa and the team made it so much easier.

  • 5 Alison Scarfe 21st Nov 2023

    From beginning to end the service we have received has been excellent. Would definitely recommend you to anyone organising a funeral for a loved one.

  • 4 Jane O'Shea 23rd Oct 2023

    Staff were very helpful, caring and efficient

  • 5 Jonathan Betts 25th Sep 2023

    Excellent in every respect.

  • 5 James Moss 1st Sep 2023

    The service we received was excellent from the Co Op. Specifically Ness in the office was very kind, caring and efficient. When we went o the office she really took the time to explain and go through everything in detail. Her colleague Lauren also explained a lot to us which helped in getting through a tough time in our lives.
    The gentleman that bought dad tot he church were excellent and such a clean limo. Thank you again for all your support.

  • 5 Carol Everett 10th Jul 2023

    We were well looked after by the staff at all stages of the funeral journey, from the ladies in the office to the staff at the crematorium.

  • 5 Sandra Offord 3rd Jul 2023

    All staff who helped with mum's day enabled it to go as smoothly and well as it could. Thanks to all.

  • 5 Susan Miller 2nd Jul 2023

    I would like to thank all who helped to make my husbands funeral as painless as possible. Everyone took great care to carryout my immediate family's wishes without me having to do so.
    The choice of Celebrant was so thoughtful Mrs Sparrow was so kind but at the same time professional and had he met her my husband would have liked her and would have chosen her I am sure.
    Those who guided the bearers made a difficult job for 4 young lads go smoothly
    The printing of the order of service was such a help
    I have had many compliments from those who attended the funeral all saying what a lovely service it was

  • 4 Olive Peck 1st Jul 2023

    Yes everything was very good. The only thing I would say it’s a pity the co op are not allowed to sort the donations out. Otherwise everything else was very good.

  • 5 Tony Mason 21st Jun 2023

    Thanks to Ness and her team my father's funeral ceremony was peaceful, but special to his personality. Respectful, but efficient service and willing to accommodate special requests.

    Thank you

  • 5 Malcolm Partner 20th Jun 2023

  • 5 Stephanie Sheherlis 19th Jun 2023

    Everyone was very respectful and professional and nobody pressured us into anything. It was as relaxed as it could be and we could take our time with everything 

  • 5 Valerie Kemp 22nd Feb 2023

    Everything I asked about, Vanessa or Sarah worked with me empathetically. At the crematorium again whatever we asked for you accomplished.
    Many thanks.
