Michael Smith 18th Mar 2024

Wonderful, sympathetic, & professional service from both Chris & Shirley.  Everything ran like clockwork, & nothing was a problem at all. Having previously used a rival Funeral Directors, the performance from the Coop was light years ahead of your competitor. A huge thank you to all at the Coop, they made my fathers funeral a lovely event!

Chris and Shirley were excellent throughout, making an extremely difficult time easier to navigate.

  • 5 Fiona Smith 3rd Jan 2024

    I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me with my close friend’s funeral. Shirley and Chris were both amazing, guiding me in the right direction and offering suggestions when I needed them. 
    Help with the planning was what I needed and that’s what they gave me, never over whelming me and it resulted in the actual service being exactly what I wanted, it was simple, dignified and beautiful. 
    The service itself was lead by Val Nossiter, a Humanist celebrant. Val was recommended by Shirley and I am so pleased she was as Val brought so much to the  service making it special and very individual.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • 5 David Watson 2nd Jan 2024

    From my initial telephone call to the journey back to the funeral hall after the funeral, the service has been exceptional. The undertaker who looked after us was Richard Charlton and he went far beyond what we expected. He was 110% professional and his attitude was amazingly good. The lady who designed the order of service was called Shirley and she dealt with our appointments etc. she was also very professional and caring. All in all this was a truly amazing service at such a sad time of our lives.
