Smooth meeting
I made an appointment with an agent regarding paying for my own funeral, as I have just lost my husband, trying to find the extra costs was really difficult. So I decided that I didn't want my grown children to face the same issues and decided to take a policy out with co-op.
From start to finish it was a smooth transition, and an excellent price. So now I can sit back & not worry about my children having to find the funds, which I have learnt the last problem you want whilst dealing with a loss is figuring out how to pay for it.

Arranging my funeral
The lady I dealt with was extremely professional in dealing with such a delicate subject. She clearly knew her subject matter well and put the salient points across without 'flannel' or 'hard sell'. She was also friendly and supportive.

Do not buy a plan on line!!!!!!
If i could i would give no stars
Paid for a funeral package ,got confirmation email ,payment taken well over 6 weeks later still waiting for documents to come by post.
Numeerous phone calls and emails and no further ahead .
The help team on the end of the phone were less than helpful.
Have sent them all the relavent documents.
For example confirmation email ,proof of payment.
They have even admitted they have all of this but have told me to be patient.
Would the coop be as patient if their clients didn't pay for a service thry provided.
If this isn't sorted soon will be taking legal action and if it is sorted will expect compensation for the unnecessary stress and anxiety it has caused

The young man I spoke to was very polite, calm and respectful. When I asked him to slow his speech he did so. He explained all aspects and answered questions fully. He went over everything to make sure all was right. The only thing that irritated was after every interaction he would say “no problem”. A modern response I know but slightly annoying for an oldie.
