About

East of England Co-op Funeral Service is part of the East of England Co-operative Society, a member-owned organisation with over 160 years of heritage serving communities across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, and Cambridgeshire. Founded on the principles of fairness, community support, and mutual benefit, the co-operative has been proudly serving its members since 1868.

The Ipswich branch at 47 St Helen's Street is part of a wider network of funeral services offered by the co-operative, which puts members and communities at the heart of everything it does. As a co-operative, any surplus generated is reinvested into the community and member services, rather than distributed to external shareholders.

East of England Co-op Funeral Service is committed to providing compassionate, professional support to families during their most difficult times. As part of one of the region's most established and trusted community retailers, the funeral service branch in Ipswich benefits from the organisation's long-standing reputation for care, integrity, and local commitment.

What families say

"Nothing was too much trouble and she advised gently when we were a little bit lost during such an emotional time. Arranging a loved one's funeral is a very difficult experience and the whole experience was made so much less stressful by the professionalism of everyone involved."

— Deb (about Lisa)

"Andrew's kindness and patience made me feel so comfortable in such a difficult time and guided me through the whole process with care, respect and trust. His attention to detail is impeccable — it made such a difference especially for me as a foreigner who had never attended a UK funeral myself."

— Rowena Banks (about Andrew)

"She made an incredibly difficult time easier to deal with, her friendliness, efficiency, and natural manner — she did everything in her power to help us have the funeral we wanted for our brother."

— Angela Rose Ashton (about Lisa)

"This has been the absolute worst time of my life, but Lisa has made it a little bit less awful."

— Suzie Box (about Lisa)

"From the very first meeting we were comforted and made to feel at ease at our most vulnerable. The result was perfection for what was in my mind the last thing I could do for my wonderful Dad. All was made possible because of Lisa and her dedication to making Dad's send off so personal and exactly how we wanted it to be."

— Tracey Gant (about Lisa)

"I cannot imagine how lucky to be able to consult & appoint Andrew in organizing the funeral for my beloved husband. I am especially grateful for Andrew, truly a very special person in accompanying me to the charge, standby me for the last moment saying goodbye to my husband."

— Rowena Banks (about Andrew)
