The gentleman I spoke to

The gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and informative.
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

Hi Gillian, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm pleased to hear that, once your meeting was arranged, you found the process of setting up your funeral plan straightforward. I'm sorry to hear that it took so long to arrange the appointment and that you had to make follow-up calls. I can understand how frustrating that must have been.
Funeral plan documents typically take 7-10 days to arrive by post. If you haven't received yours, please get in touch and we'll be happy to help: www.coop.co.uk/funeralcare/contact-us

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.

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.
