I think my letter of thanks below to Great Baddow Co-Op Funeral Directors, sums up the high esteem I hold them in! I went to this company after first meeting with another local family funeral firm.

There was s complex set of circumstances involved with this service. Still, considering this, I feel they mishandled the situation taking no account of my partner's wishes to visit her late father in the chapel of rest. Surly attitude from office staff and those present on the day, would not & could not recommend this branch. Very disappointed with an event you very obviously are unable to repeat.
