Professional funeral planner

The funeral planner made me feel relaxed from the start, Pauline went through the process and explained exactly what was on the plan, plus a bit more.

A company that cares

I went to discuss a funeral plan for myself today and found the staff at my local branch of Co-op Funeral care to be very compassionate, professional, understanding and helpful.
After a few Data collection and identification questions they went through the different types of funeral plans and prices including pay plans.
Discussing funerals is stressful enough generally but when your discussing your own its gives added stress but the staff were very reassuring and supportive in helping me to come to a decision.
