Wonderful staff

After losing my mum I appreciated the importance of a funeral plan. Seeing the care Co-op funeral care took of my mum meant there was no other choice for me. Wonderful, thoughtful, compassionate staff every visit. I would recommend to anyone.

Our experience of pre-arranging our funerals was excellent. Shelley talked us through everything and was most concerned that we understood everything. We would thoroughly recommend Co-op Funeralcare for peace of mind.

Professional approach as expected

The member of staff was very nice and the meeting is a scripted process. Two sides to this - consistency of approach for COOP but restricted in conversation for client. Nevertheless all areas are covered appropriately and clearly. Absolutely no pressure at all with type of funeral or method of payment.

Thank you Karen for everything during a difficult time

We cannot speak highly enough of Karen, the Branch Manager at Co-operative Funeralcare in Purley.

From the moment we met her, Karen was exceptional, compassionate, caring, professional and incredibly supportive throughout one of the most difficult times for our family.

Karen personally ensured that every aspect of our dad’s funeral was handled with dignity and attention to detail. She coordinated everything, from his collection and preparation through to liaising with the funeral directors and cemetery, organising the service and helping with the reception following our dad’s Celebration of Life.

Nothing was ever too much trouble. Karen listened carefully to everything we wanted and made sure all of our requests were met.

Most importantly, she made us feel that our dad and our family genuinely mattered. Her kindness and reassurance took an enormous amount of pressure away from us and allowed us to concentrate on giving our dad the beautiful and dignified farewell he deserved.

The entire day was handled beautifully, and we will always be grateful to Karen for everything she did for our family.

Karen is an absolute credit to Co-operative Funeralcare, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her and the Purley branch.

Thank you, Karen, for your kindness, compassion and professionalism, and above all, for taking such wonderful care of our dad.

We will never forget it.

Dear Aji, thank you for your kind words during such an incredibly difficult time for your family. It's reassuring to hear that you felt supported and cared for throughout the planning and preparation of your father's service. It is our main priority to ensure that every detail is handled with the utmost dignity, respect, and attentiveness, and it's been our honour to help ease some of the pressure during this sad time. Please know that our thoughts remain with you and your family.
^Take care, Aidan

My fathers funeral and care...

My fathers funeral and care.... The service lead by Steve was excellent. We could not ave wished for it to be better. Chris the Civil Funeral Celebrant was amazing and the words he spoke were great.
Now for the reason I leave 1 star. The price for a basic service was astronomical £2000 more expensive for the same service as other funeral directors in the area. We did not choose them by the way, the paramedic rang them, to collect my dad. All the promises Sarah made were broken, like letting me know when ny dad would be ready to be seen, he was left all weekend whilst my mum who was panicking could have gone to see him, and the 7 day always available promise was a load of rubbish as they did not answer messages. miss-typed letters with wrong times on that upset my mum as she then didn't know which was correct and again nobody to get hold of over the weekend. When I did confront them about it Sarah just said Sorry you feel that way, patronizing as though nothing was wrong and it was all in our heads. She couldn't even bring herself to apologies. the mistakes mentioned above were just some of the errors.
For the money paid We expected perfection and other than Steve it was a disgrace. Trying to sell extras all the time. They wanted to make an astronomical profit on the flowers for the top of the coffin, but as I already knew the person we were getting flowers from we were saved that rip off, by the way the same florists that they use. they didn't even do anything with the flowers as Julie delivered them to the funeral home.
Overall disgusting selling practices and even when we went to pick up the ashes they tried selling trinkets.
Not genuine sympathy when followed by can we sell you something else. Avoid if you want a good amount of respect and your money in your bank account and not theirs
