Didn’t find it easy

The communication was disjointed between sales and policy planner. It wasn’t an easy process, my Nan and I found the conversation with the sales woman stressful and there were points in the conversation that she was rude.

Hello Carrie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm sorry to hear that you and your Nan didn't find the process easy and that the communication between teams felt disjointed. I appreciate that discussing a funeral plan can feel overwhelming, so it's disappointing to hear that parts of the experience left you feeling stressed.
I'll share your feedback with relevant teams to be looked into, but in the meantime if you'd like to discuss this further, please contact us at: www.coop.co.uk/funeralcare/contact-us

My experience with Co-op Funeral care…

My experience with Co-op Funeral care was very helpful to make my choice from a few other companies. Co-ops representative was extremely helpful and spent time explaining everything. After our discussions I made my choice of the Co-op reasonably quickly. My funeral plan was completed and finalised to my satisfaction.

Excellent company

Excellent company. My mother, father and other family members all used this company and they were excellent. Which is why I am using them for my funeral arrangements. So far they have been very prompt, friendly and accommodating I would recommend.

I just wanted to say how amazing Suzy was. Tremendous help in assisting me with my father's Funeral. Made a very sad and difficult time more manageable. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Definitely recommend the Andover office. Simon was also professional, respectful and made us feel at ease throughout the proceedings of the cremation . Everything ran smoothly,

Just wanted to say a deep heartfelt thank you from myself and my family .

Will definitely be singing your praises.

Exceptional professional support

I had the arrangements for my wonderful Mother's funeral taken care of by Co- op funeralcare in Jarrow. All of the staff were very supportive from the beginning until the very last stages. They most certainly went beyond their normal realm of help. The process was never going to be easy for me but with their dedicated support, it helped immensely with my grief.
I would like to thank all that were involved in the arrangements and the funeral cortege. Special thanks to Audrey, Allison for their personal support and the funeral director Craig who was so professional,went above and beyond what I expected. God bless you all. Thank you 🙏

Pre booked funerals

The whole experience of pre booking a funeral was made so easy. Time was taken to explain the individual plans and options available with room for personal wishes being taken into account. Would highly recommend Co-op to all. Lyndie was very kind and patient throughout.

Excellent and caring service throughout.

So many thanks to Sarah (and Karen) at the Birchington branch for so smoothly arranging the transfer of my brother from London to Kent and making all those special details for the service so stress free. Such caring and lovely staff at each stage, and special thanks to Drayson at the crematorium for the theatrical send off we asked.

The service I received from The Co-op funeral care in Rustington West Sussex was very professional. The Team member Kirsty showed compassion and went through every step of the journey I was trying to organise for my late partner.
It’s a very upsetting time trying to get things done but Kirsty always greeted me with a smile and reminded me she would always be there for me on this journey. A true professional Co-op staff member. Thank you so much🩷X
