We are proud of our history dating back to 1832, as a small independent regional co-operative our main aim has always been around helping people, nowhere is that more apparent than in our funeral locations.
Kim, our funeral director, has been serving the local community here since 2010, helping families through a difficult time with her professionalism and dedication.

Heartfelt thanks to Kim, Adrienne and everyone for giving Mom the best day. Everything handled with respect, compassion and kindness. Mom would have been over the moon with everything.

This is the 4th time we have used the Co-op for the funeral of our loved ones and thankfully Kim has always been the main point of contact for us. Kim has always been amazing and demonstrated total understanding of the emotional turmoil the family experience. Albeit it challenging at times because of constant changes and alterations. The service has always felt personal as well as totally professional. Alongside Kim, her colleagues have also been very kind, helpful and always offered a friendly service. Our most recent loss was our Mum/Mother-in-law/Nanny/Great Nanny Brenda and Adrienne was the Celebrant for her service. Adrienne was also amazing, she came to visit and talked about Brenda's life with us as a family and when delivering the service she made it feel like she knew Brenda, she told her story so well. All in all, a brilliant service and reassuring way of looking after your loved ones for the very last time. Thank you Kim and all of your team for looking after us again from all the family x

Thanks to Kim 4 all her support for Dad's (Norman's) cremation. My goodness me!!! My brother, who was not paying for the cremation, 'phoned Kim with different email addresses, timings etc. Kim was patient, gracious and Stoic. Dad's cremation was beautifully managed. The moment was for my Dad. Kim understands families, gives great advice, is patient and helpful. Hugs Kim, from Cathy
