Kerry is our Funeral Plan Arranger this is some great feedback for her, dont forget you can leave a Google review.

Hya Kerry and Coop.co.uk.

On behalf of my husband and myself if it is okay I would just like to leave a Positive feedback after our appointment today at 3pm.

It is not the best subject to talk about (deaths and funerals) but Kerry put us both at ease with her pleasant and friendly chat. We had everything explained to us step by step, making us both feel relaxed and upbeat rather than upset and downbeat. So with a big big thank you for making today bearable.

Kerry you are a credit to the Co-op and will go far.

On a lasting note we hope it's a very long time till we all meet again.

Thank you and best wishes

Good morning,

Today we are very proud to share the first official photograph of our CEO and founder Linda Magistris meeting His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, at Windsor Castle.

Linda received her OBE earlier this month for services to the bereaved.

Linda said:

'These past 11 years since my partner Graham died have been incredibly challenging in many ways, but we have pushed through and driven key national initiatives, which are now thriving and helping many who are bereaved up and down the country.

We will continue to drive our vision forward, and I am thrilled that we have grown in strength, in determination, in support and most importantly in our community, where so many have joined our cause, for which I am eternally grateful’

🧡☂️
