I would highly recommend the co-op funeral services at Rowlands Gill, they where very professional from start to finish. Our special thanks go to Nick the funeral director who stayed in close contact at all times.

    Everything was arranged with the minimum of fuss and with ease. Sandra, the Funeral Director, dealt with all of our queries quickly and efficiently and kept us informed of the things we needed to know. A number of people commented on how well the funeral went and that it would have been the one that Esther wanted.

    Excellent service and very helpful

  • 2 Marion Simpson 27th Feb 2023

    Initial information given on phone incorrect. Funeral organiser judgemental and didn't have information at her fingertips eg prices. Also gave wrong information about crematorium to be used. Manager intersided and said she would investigate. Follow up before ceremony good but no follow up after ceremony though promised verbally and in confirmation letter.

  • 5 Stephen Thorpe 20th Feb 2023

  • 3 Norma Brown 15th Aug 2022

    Difficult to assess as only a limited experience of arranging a funeral. However it was quite stressful at times due to problems accessing people responsible for documentation and a wasted journey to funeral parlour when person had been called away. Wrong area of deceased printed in newspaper which was then amended the following day.Then another three journeys to confirm order of service and photos as graphic department weren’t responding.
    However impeccable funeral directors on the day which was the most important part.

  • 4 Sean Bowman 8th Aug 2022

    Coop provided a quick and considerate service. Our thanks to them at this time.
