Yvonne and Tracey - fantastic
Yvonne and Tracey were the kindest, friendliest and most welcoming individuals you could care to meet.
I felt listened to, valued and looked after.
I could not have asked for more.

Peace if mind funeral care.
My wife and I found the online process very easy to navigate,and very informative. All plans were set out in a way that was easy to understand and any questions you might have were answered. We chose co-op funeral care because of it's reputation of being fair and honest.So it's one more difficult job put to bed, and another task our children wont have to worry about.

Not a popular choice but a necessary one.
The ease of deciding not only which company to go with but also which plan to purchase. I had four different quotes and three of them broke down the costings, making it easier to evaluate which of them was the best value. I also found that Hammad ensured that I was fully informed of every part of the plan before proceeding to the next part. The plan also includes informing a third party that takes the stress of doing all of the planning whilst grieving.

Excellent Service.
Rather than arrange our funeral on line we wanted to discuss this with a human! So that's what we did with Co-op Funeral Service. We were made very welcome when we visited their office and everything was explained in great detail with no pressure. The price was excellent compared to the other Direct Cremation funeral arrangers and everything was included in the price. We were so pleased that we arranged and paid for our funerals there and then. Also the Co-op is well established and our money is covered by FSC Scheme. Hopefully we wont need to use it just
yet! Very pleased and can highly recommend.

Cannot fault the considerate and efficient service but was annoyed that my Co-op membership discount was not available to me as Co-op funeral care is not linked to my Central Co-op membership.

Hi Geoff, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm pleased to hear that you found the service considerate and efficient.
I understand your frustration regarding the membership discount and why this affected your overall experience. Membership benefits can vary depending on the Co-op business or society involved, and I appreciate that this may not have been what you expected.
Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I went to the office in maryport as per appointment, my husband was first at 11.30, mine was at 1 pm my husband didn’t come out of the office ice until 1.45 pm. The lady is the most boring long winded person I have ever met. My goodness she is not a people person at all. She sticks to the script like a robot. I couldn’t cope with her at all. if I didn’t know better I would think she was AI generated. I am sorry if I have come across as rude but that is my personal opinion of her. I did my application on line!!

Hi Joani, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm sorry to read that you were unhappy with your experience. I appreciate that a longer appointment than expected, and a communication style that didn't suit your needs, would have been frustrating.
As a regulated business, there are occasions when our colleagues are required to follow specific processes and read certain information to ensure we meet regulatory requirements. However, I'm sorry to hear that this affected your experience and left you feeling this way.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. ^Take care, Becs

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The day I went in to pay was my birthday and they had bought a cake for me - complete with candle! And hugs! The whole process of cremation was explained. I would thoroughly recommend Co-op Funeral Services.
