Hello David, thank you for your review. We’re so pleased to hear you found our service very good.

Good Service, clearly explained
Easy set up with a pre arranged appointment by phone. I already had a printed copy of the current brochure, so if you have studied it carefully beforehand and have your choices more or less mapped out, then the phone transaction is straightforward.
All was clealy explained in line with the requirements to help me make my choices.

Great service
My Family and I have used coop funeral services many times in the past and have always experienced a great caring service with professionalism tailoring to our requirements. I would recommend their sevices to anyone wanting to take out a payment plan which takes the stress off loved ones and family. I have just taken out a plan and it was done with care and attention to my needs. So pleased with my experience.

I want to Thank everything Mike and his team at Downend, Bristol did for us following my Mum’s (Pamela Britton)passing. Your kindness,patience and understanding meant so much at a time when we were struggling to take everything in. You made such a difficult process easier for us and took such care with every detail. Most importantly you treated Mum with such dignity and respect, and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you for helping us give Mum the farewell she deserved. Malcolm +Victoria

Laura Riley was our certified funeral plan arranger in the Coop Funeral care shop in Pitshanger Lane Ealing W13 area. She was kind, patient, and very efficient, taking the time to advise, explain the inclusions and exclusions involved in every plan and note our wishes and preferences. Two happy customers and two prepaid funerals fully dealt with.

difficult to get money from any promotion they advertise
Very easy to sign and get the plan, but when you go to try to access the promotional gifts, you cannot apply for them until you have had the plan for three months.
They will not just send you what you are owed, you have to have a membership card, this works sometimes. you then have to wait from an outside marketing company to send you a letter so you can apply for part 1 of the promotions, when this is done you have to wait for them to send the code to your membership card, then you will get part 2 of you promotion into membership card. I have spent a week trying to get the membership cards to work. You now have to speak to the call centre in South Africa. I thought co op were all about ethics, not employing cheap labour in Africa at the expense of British workers.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm pleased to hear that you found the process of taking out your funeral plan straightforward. However, I'm sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced when trying to access your promotional rewards and use your Membership account.
I appreciate that the process and timescales involved can feel lengthy. The promotional rewards are issued in stages and, as outlined in the terms and conditions of the offer, there are qualifying periods before rewards can be claimed and applied. I understand that waiting for communications, activation codes and rewards to be processed can be disappointing, particularly when you're keen to receive them.
I'm also sorry to hear you've experienced difficulties with your Membership card. This isn't the experience we'd want for our customers, and I can understand how frustrating it must have been to spend time trying to get everything working.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
^Take care, Becs
Co op in Pontefract were excellent
Co op in Pontefract were excellent. Duane Crossland made everything easy in a very difficult situation. Duane I would 100% recommend. He was very accessible and professional . He recommended Sharon fry for the celebrant service, who also I found to be excellent. Very personal to me. Mum could not have received a better sent off.. Thankyou co op for you expertise xx

Time to contemplate death
I chose a plan prior to phoning and I told their representatives on the phone and still he took me through the selection of a plan stage by stage. What a complete waste of time.

Hello John, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm sorry to hear that you felt the process was repetitive. Even when a customer has already chosen a funeral plan, our colleagues are required to guide them through the available options and key information to ensure the plan selected is suitable for their needs and that they have all the information needed to make an informed decision.
I appreciate that this may have felt unnecessary given that you had already made your choice, and I'm sorry for any frustration caused. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us understand how customers experience our funeral plan conversations.
^Take care, Becs

Wife's funeral
From start to finish the arrangement and conduct of my wife’s funeral by the Totton branch was excellent. Kindness and consideration was displayed by all concerned at each stage; from presentation and viewing at the funeral home through the family interment to the arrangements for the subsequent memorial service. I couldn’t rate more highly the professionalism, efficiency, facilities and transport. Thank you.
