Fantastic Service.

My experience was very good at the Co-op Funeral office, the staff are extremely polite and professional & helpful, I have purchased my simple cremation plan and the price is the lowest I have seen anywhere, it's nice to know that at the Co-op unlike many other companies that they do not rip you off & now I can be happy that when the day comes all will be sorted out professionally, Thank You. Ps, I would thoroughly recommend the Co-op to everyone.

Stress Free Service

My first experience of the service provided was in January 2026 when my dear wife passed away. At all stages I was treated with the greatest respect and provided with helpful information and direction. My treatment led me back to establish my own Funeral Care Plan which was arranged with the same efficiency.

Looped recorded message

Every time I call through to the number on their emails, I get as far as the options to choose 1 or 2 for non-member or member. Whichever one I press, it comes back to the same message and options. Frustrating when you're trying to spend money with them.

Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear of the troubles you've faced trying to contact us by phone. I'm not sure which phone number you've been having issues with, but there are a few options available to you to purchase a funeral plan:
1. Contact your local funeral home and speak to a member of the team. To find your local branch, visit coop.co.uk/funeralcare/funeral-directors
2. Request a call back. Visit coop.co.uk/funeralcare/contact-us and you'll find the option to request a call back from us there. That will also mean that you're no longer having the issue with the recorded message which you've faced previously.
I hope this helps. ^Take care, Becs
