Frequently Used Services at The Co-operative Funeralcare Gillingham
Bereavement Support
The Co-operative Funeralcare understand how hard it can be to lose someone close and have developed a unique bereavement service to help and support you through this difficult time.
The Bereavement Centre is a free service designed to support your emotional, practical and social needs, providing access to one to one bereavement counselling, friendship/social and support groups, walk and talk groups, life coaching and memorial services.
Memorial Masonry
A memorial headstone is a lasting tribute for your loved one, providing a focus for personal memories - a place to visit, lay flowers and reflect on happy times.
The Co-operative Funeralcare has a wide range of memorial designs to choose from, sourcing only the finest materials to the highest standards. We will help you through every step of the process, providing advice and guidance on local authority regulations that may affect the size, material, colour or wording used.
We can add inscriptions to existing memorials and also offer a memorial cleaning service.
Pre-paid Funeral Plans
None of us like to think about the end of life, but by planning ahead we can spare the people we love from difficult decisions at a painful time.
Southern Co-op Funeral Plan is tailored to your individual needs so you can choose exactly what you want for your funeral. The cost is guaranteed and totally inflation-proof - protecting you and your loved ones from ever-rising costs.
Two people can be named on a Funeral Plan, with the option to use it for either the first or the second person that passes away. You can even set up a Funeral Plan on behalf of somebody else.
Tributes and Donations
The Co-operative Funeralcare online tribute service can help you to remember and celebrate a loved one's life. The service is offered free of charge to all of our families.
During the funeral arrangements we will set up a personal tribute page for you to share memories, stories, photos and videos of your loved one, light virtual candles in remembrance as well as publish details of the funeral service for everyone to view. Friends, family and guests can also donate online to your chosen charity through this service.
Recent Reviews for The Co-operative Funeralcare Gillingham
- Rating 5.024 May 2024Dear Alan,
I cannot thank you and your staff enough for the heart felt commitment and dedication to my Father and our family for your services towards my Mother Mary Bielby who sadly died on the 29th April and was cremated on the 20th May.
From our very first meeting in your office together with my Father Tony and my husband Marc I felt the understanding and sympathy which helped myself and my siblings to come to terms with the loss of our mother and the support you gave our Father. The dedication, advice and helpfulness throughout the whole process was greatly appreciated (we would have been lost without it)
Your Celebrant Juli visited my father at his home to discuss the service and as a very private shy man she managed to encourage Dad to talk openly and sincerely about mum and the relationship they had (this was very apparent in the service)
Juli was both sincere and empathetic in the way she conducted the service and I felt that she had known mum and the family. She is a very special lady and helped us all immensely in my grief .
Again, I thank you and your staff with all my heart for your kindness and support.
