We used the coop for our father's funeral, the whole team involved from Robbie, rose, aid, matt, the team at kitts green were all incredible and made such a hard time in ours lives that little bit easier to deal with, they helped every step of the way and made sure we were happy with everything before anything was finalised. They are an absolute credit to the coop and they took the best care of our father, nothing was ever too much. From arranging the funeral to the actual funeral we cannot fault anything, our father had the send off of all send offs. Aid and Matt went above and beyond on the day of the funeral and we will be forever grateful and never forget what they did for us ❤️
