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

Found it very difficult to arrange a face to face appointment at the Crownhill, Plymouth branch. Told someone would call and never did. Eventually the appointment was made with Nigel Harding and all went well.
Remember to take identity documents and the person arranging the funeral has to have their own method of payment

We're glad everything went well once you sat down together and we appreciate you sharing those helpful reminders about identity documents and payment methods to assist others.

Peter's funeral

We contacted co-op Funeralcare in Eastcote to arrange my brothers funeral. From the moment we walked through the door there was a warm welcome. We weren't rushed in organising the event. Everything was explained in detail. Thank you Danielle. The funeral director Jon and his team were very respectful of my brother and of my family. They all made the whole experience bearable at such a sad time. We would definitely recommend Co-Op funeral care Eastcote.

A Helpful Professional Service

The person who assisted us was clear and concise. She moved quickly through the things we knew and understood and spent longer explaining the things we weren't so sure about. WE didn't feel rushed or pressured and were given the time we needed to make informed choices
