Testimonials

  • Overall, the counselling for me with Jill was a very positive experience and I am amazed that in 6 weeks Jill helped me through some very difficult things with my family. Thank you for such a good service.

    Mrs K. Danbury

  • You managed to take my random emails and texts and conjure them into a wonderful service, well done.

    Mr P, Chelmsford

  • You can’t improve anything – we went into the Writtle branch as clients and came out feeling like friends, and the funeral director was 1st class.

    Mrs A, Writtle

  • The undertakers were wonderful – solemn, respectful, dignified. Their professionalism was very reassuring at a difficult time. The order of service was perfect and the Royal British Legion were magnificent. Moments from the service will be etched in my memory and I will treasure forever.

    Mrs N, Ingatestone

  • Everyone was personable and respectful of mum, and of us as a family. We were impressed by the professionalism of all staff, including Caroline who stood outside the office this morning whilst the funeral director walked slowly in front of the hearse.

    The J. family, Danbury

  • Nothing was too much trouble, and we were never rushed during the difficult task of making choices at such a sad time. Everyone has been very kind, patient and understanding.

    Mrs B, Colchester

  • From Dad’s funeral, to having the opportunity to have one to one counselling, Co-op Funeral Directors have exceeded any expectations. It has been first class.

    Mrs K, Danbury

  • When [the family] asked for my advice on which funeral director to use I thought of you straight away. You did not disappoint and I thank you all for that.

    Miss F, Chelmsford

  • The burden was lessened knowing that we could rely on you to provide a comprehensive and competent service. I feel we gave Dad a good send off and am very grateful for your efforts in helping us achieve that goal.

    Mr B, Braintree

  • I was extremely pleased with the quiet, efficient and smooth way the arrangements were carried out. It could not have gone better.

    Mrs G, Chelmsford
