Local company
It took me a long time to decide to buy a funeral plan after following all the bad press recently. So I did quite a bit of research. Coop is a local company, been known for years so I decided to go with them. I made myself a member which cost £1 but got me a £50 reduction on the price. The cost was mid range of the firms I had checked. I filled all the details in online.It was very easy to do. I could have had a personal service. My plan arrived back in five days. My plan showed all my needs met. My loved ones kept informed. The icing on the cake??? Just a bit less cash for the taxman to get his hands on

Hi Tracey, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I'm pleased to hear that, once your meeting was arranged, you found setting up your funeral plan straightforward. However, I'm sorry to hear that it took so long to arrange the appointment and that you had to make follow-up calls. I can understand how frustrating that must have been. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

The gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and informative.
My husband and I has already agreed end which funeral plan we wanted so everything was sorted for us both in just over an hour. We got emails about our plans later the same afternoon but are still waiting for our full documents

Overall very satisfied
Overall very satisfied. The gentleman we dealt with was excellent, knowledgeable, patient and above all understanding. The lady on reception was very good and even offered us tea or coffee. So, congratulations in order for both of them. The only slight criticism would be that the funeral home is in dire need of restoration as it is so tired it’s falling asleep! In short, would thoroughly recommend the Co-op funeral home in Saltash if you want to prepay your funeral.
