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.

Peace if mind funeral care.

My wife and I found the online process very easy to navigate,and very informative. All plans were set out in a way that was easy to understand and any questions you might have were answered. We chose co-op funeral care because of it's reputation of being fair and honest.So it's one more difficult job put to bed, and another task our children wont have to worry about.
