Simple booking process

The online process of booking a pre-arranged funeral was easy and comparing prices with competitors for Coop members was competitive.

Simple to understand and transparent

Simple to understand and transparency throughout. Up front costs and interest free payments over 12 months makes the plans accessible and easy.
Real peace of mind.
I also have to mention the estate planning service which is astoundingly good and a MUST if you want your wishes followed.

Please don’t use this company

Please don’t use this company. I paid £900 on 24 April 2026 for my relative’s funeral before realising there were sufficient funds in her bank Acct and that Nat West would pay them when presented with the funeral company’s invoice. I explained this to the coop who advised no problem, gave me the invoice and said they would reimburse me for my payment asap. The funeral was on 15 May 2026. It is now 21 July annd after about a hundred e mails back and forth reassuring me they will refund - they still have not done so with different excuses every time. The last one being today asking me to confirm payments made? It is hard to get them to answer the phone and they will not provide the name or contact details of someone senior at head office for me to liaise with. I think the company is very poorly run and dishonest to be frank and therefore would strongly suggest to using an alternative. It’s a stressful time and you want honesty, diligence and kindness.

Awful staff and service at Coop…

Awful staff (esp Debbie!) and service at Coop Littlehampton Funeralcare. Can you imagine promising a family they could carry the coffin, only to revoke it? Can you imagine exploiting a vulnerable daughter? Who do these people think they are? Morally repulsive. I'm sure the national press will take an interest after their own CEO left due to bullying in recent months. Awful!

Could not of received better care

Could not of received better care . Our loved one was so obviously well cared for as was the whole family. Our loved one had pre arranged and paid for his funeral which made everything so much less stressful at such an emotional time . Paul and Amanda both offered lots of support and guided us with comparison and empathy at all times. Could not fault any part of the service that was given at all times.
Thank you to all the staff team who so very obviously took great care of our loved one .

Excellent Service From Co-op Funeral Plan

I decided to take out a Funeral Plan for my mum who has Alzheimer’s. I was a bit nervous about doing this as it’s a lot to think about. Matilda was very kind and helpful and took her time explaining all the options. It’s a relief knowing that something as important as a funeral will be taken care of when the time comes.
