The staff were helpful and considerate

The staff were helpful and considerate, we said what we required she told us about the plan and we accepted the terms. A bonus was the gift voucher for signing up, very reasonable price. Thank you.

Upset customer

I took out a funeral plan with the coop , and he took all my details , bank details etc. I thought it was all going ahead but it wasn't. The man didnt explain that I had to phone again to start the plan . I phoned the coop but was passed around different staff and one was very rude . I have had to re submit my request and plan but this time I didnt get the members discount because it had been changed to a gift card , and this has upset me . I made a complaint but had no correspondence from them .

Good staff

Good staff, but the price increased over the two weeks between initial enquiry and paying. I had to chase a response because Co-op failed to past on my enquiry in a timely manner.

How simple it was to make arrangements for my dad’s funeral. The different tiers of funeral selections was explained. Our representative Joanne Byrne who hosted the appointment was great and came across very professional and added the personal touch for me. I do like the face to face approach when sorting out delicate situations like this. Joanne was really lovely and i Intergrated well with her.

I had a lovely little chat with Ian to find out exactly what I wanted. He explained everything to me and what my options were. I was sorted in no time and left feeling like a weight had been lifted. Now I know when my time comes my family can say their own goodbyes without any stress.
