Nervous before phoning

I was nervous before phoning to organise a funeral plan, but Phillip put me at ease and made the call a pleasant experience and was very helpful. He listened and helped me put in place the funeral plan I was originally interested in.

Excellent Staff, advice and service

I recently loss my wife and her Funeral was organised and delivered by the Coop Newquay. Every detail I wanted for my wife was carried out with professionalism and respect. I now wanted to ensure that I could organise my own funeral and pay for it so my children didn’t have to worry about it but would still be able to personalise it when that day came.
I arranged a meeting with Nigel at Coop Funeral in Newquay. It was a very easy process that Nigel was able to explain in an easily understandable way the choices and what I would be paying for. I left the meeting with a smile and satisfaction that my every wish had been looked at and provided for by the Coop. A personal thank you to Nigel and also the welcome from Linda, who I had previously dealt with my wife’s funeral arrangements, was greatly appreciated.

Couldn't be bothered to call us on more than one occasion

We phoned to discuss a funeral for my mum. No one was available so they were going to call back on the Monday morning, but they took the details. They didn't return the call until Tuesday, and did not have any of the details previously given. They were then supposed to call again on the Friday. We are still waiting to hear from them. So it's a good thing during this awful, difficult time that we organised the funeral with someone else who did care , as the funeral was last Tuesday. Disgraceful

To add, you have asked for additional information but my father has lodged a formal complaint and hasn't heard from you about that either so I think that says as much as is needed

Hello Anna, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm very sorry to read about your experience at such a difficult time. I can understand how upsetting and frustrating it must have been when you were expecting calls that did not arrive as promised, and when you felt unsupported while making arrangements for your mum's funeral.
I'm also sorry to hear that your father feels he has not received a response regarding his formal complaint. We take concerns such as these seriously and would like the opportunity to review what has happened. If he has not already received an acknowledgement, please ask him to contact our Client Relations team at clientrelations@coop.co.uk with any reference numbers he may have, so we can ensure his complaint is being looked into. ^Take care, Becs

Amazing service

Anna and her wonderful team at Co-op Funeral Services were absolutely amazing throughout the arrangements for my grandmother’s funeral.
From the very first time we met Anna, she made us feel completely at ease. Her warmth, kindness and genuine compassion made such a difficult and emotional time feel a little easier for our whole family.
Anna and her team were incredibly professional, caring and attentive to every little detail. We always felt listened to, supported and reassured, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. They treated my grandmother with such dignity, respect and kindness, which meant more to us than they could ever know.
During such a heartbreaking time, having people around you who genuinely care makes an enormous difference. Anna and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled with the greatest care, helping us give my grandmother the beautiful and dignified farewell she deserved.
My whole family cannot thank Anna and everyone at Co-op Funeral Services enough for the compassion and support they showed us. We will always remember their kindness and the way they looked after us during one of the hardest times in our lives.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna and her team at Co-op Funeral Services to anyone who finds themselves having to arrange a funeral for someone they love. We are truly grateful for everything they did for our family and for helping us give our beloved grandmother such a special and beautiful farewell.
