We entrusted the Co-op Chaddesden Funeral Directors with the arrangements for my grandmother’s funeral, and from the very start they were caring, compassionate, and warm. Lou and Jo went above and beyond in every detail, keeping us informed throughout and making the whole process feel supported. On the day of the funeral, they were incredibly accommodating when a family member was running late, and handled everything with such respect and professionalism. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness they showed us during such a sad time. Truly outstanding service.

I would like to thank all the people involved in the very unusual burial of my Grandad today. Due to these uncertain times we had an outdoor service with just close family. We couldn't hug or comfort one another but you all handled it with such care, I felt so touched that you still came out to give my Grandad a dignified send off. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for still being there for us.
