East of England Co-op Funeral Service in Colchester is part of the East of England Co-operative Society, a member-owned organisation with deep roots in the local community. The co-operative was founded in 1861 in Colchester by a group of local people with a vision to work together, trade fairly, and give back to the community — making it one of the region's most enduring institutions with over 160 years of heritage.
As part of a wider family of businesses spanning Food, Travel, Funeral services, Security, and Property, the Colchester funeral branch reflects the co-operative's core values of community support and member ownership. The East of England Co-op proudly serves communities across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, and Cambridgeshire, with over 220 convenient locations and approximately 400,000 members.
The funeral service at 89 Wimpole Road, Colchester, operates within this trusted co-operative framework, offering families compassionate support during difficult times. As a member-owned organisation, profits are reinvested into the community rather than external shareholders, ensuring that the service remains focused on the needs of local families.
"From the moment we met Luke to arrange the plans for our Mum's funeral, everything just fell into place. I cannot fault our experience and our family wish to thank you all for making Mum's final journey run so smoothly."
— wendy shepherd (about Luke)
"Jordan and her team put us at our ease from the start. Her approach was kind, professional, respectful and considerate — she guided us through the process and was always available to answer our queries."
— Clive Reynolds (about Jordan)
"Nothing was ever too much for them to do — from the attention to detail for the funeral where every single thing we wanted they gave us and more, to each and every member of staff I came into contact with over the last month. You made the worst time of my life just a little better. I couldn't have done it without you."
— Ellie Oshaughnessy (about Ben)
"I fell apart when I suddenly lost my mum, and as an only child it was my task to ensure the day was how I thought my mum would want it to be. Jordan was the kindest person ever — a true asset to this company. She was never too busy to talk to me and listened to all my ideas, and the day ran beautifully."
— Pet Hardman (about Jordan)
"Jordan answered the phone and remembered me instantly — Mum's funeral was in March. This proves I was valued as a customer, and to me it proves they cared about my Mum also. Thank you for making my devastating time that little bit easier, I will truly never forget it."
— Pet Hardman (about Jordan)
"Milly held my hand when I felt like it was all too much and reassured me every time I thought I was going to crumble and hugged me when I fell apart, also made me laugh until I couldn't breathe in just the right moments. Ben and Milly sat with me while I did a hand casting with my late mum, making sure I got it right because I'd only got one shot at it. The care me and my family received while mum was in their care was second to none — 5 stars isn't enough."
— Ellie Oshaughnessy (about Milly)
