Satisfaction

It was so easy to answer the questions on the on line gold funeral plan. Payments was simple to expedite. I received my official funeral documents within days. Peace of mind to know my funeral arrangements are now securely in place. Thank you.

The staff at the Bitterne Park funeral parlour went out of their way to ensure a very sad day went as smoothly as possible. We as a family cannot thank them enough for the way they conducted themselves and ensured we did not have to worry about a thing.

Funeral Plan

Never the most sexy experience to arrange a funeral plan but has to be done. Coop advisors Harry and Alison excellent got it all sorted quickly and we're a pleasure to deal with.

The staff were very kind and efficient, helpful in explaining the plans. Funeral plan choice was good and they took time to understand the requirements of the person to fit the plans on offer.

Local company

It took me a long time to decide to buy a funeral plan after following all the bad press recently. So I did quite a bit of research. Coop is a local company, been known for years so I decided to go with them. I made myself a member which cost £1 but got me a £50 reduction on the price. The cost was mid range of the firms I had checked. I filled all the details in online.It was very easy to do. I could have had a personal service. My plan arrived back in five days. My plan showed all my needs met. My loved ones kept informed. The icing on the cake??? Just a bit less cash for the taxman to get his hands on

My husband and I has already agreed end which funeral plan we wanted so everything was sorted for us both in just over an hour. We got emails about our plans later the same afternoon but are still waiting for our full documents

Overall very satisfied

Overall very satisfied. The gentleman we dealt with was excellent, knowledgeable, patient and above all understanding. The lady on reception was very good and even offered us tea or coffee. So, congratulations in order for both of them. The only slight criticism would be that the funeral home is in dire need of restoration as it is so tired it’s falling asleep! In short, would thoroughly recommend the Co-op funeral home in Saltash if you want to prepay your funeral.
