Families wishing to arrange a funeral can expect a caring, sympathetic and professional service which meets their individual needs at the Co-op in Uttoxeter High Street.

We provide everyone who walks through our door with the highest standards of care and support during a difficult time.

Our trained, compassionate staff will listen to your wishes and guide you through the formalities involved in laying a loved one to rest. They will also make sure the funeral service is a fitting tribute to the deceased.

We help people to organise a dignified send-off for a relative or a friend that reflects their funeral wishes and is also affordable.

Through the national Fair Funerals pledge, which the Co-op in Uttoxeter is signed up to, our funeral arrangers will advise you on which choices best suit your budget.

We pride ourselves not just on organising traditional church services, but also on being flexible by doing our utmost to fulfil your requests – no matter how unusual they are. Our themed funerals provide an opportunity to celebrate the character and interests of someone who was special in your life.

They may have had a favourite colour, a profession or a hobby which you would like to see commemorated in some form, perhaps in the floral tributes or even the coffin itself. We can arrange this, as well as many other special features from motorcycle and horse-drawn hearses to a lone piper playing at the graveside, to give just a few examples. There are countless options for personalising the occasion and making it memorable.

Others prefer a more traditional service. We have years of experience of providing burials and cremations for people of all faiths (or none).

Our Uttoxeter funeral home has been extensively refurbished and offers a comfortable environment in which to discuss your requirements in private. We will also come to your home on request.

The families in our care often come to regard our staff with the affection they would usually reserve for a close relative. Many return to visit us – whether it is to organise another funeral or to help them come to terms with their loss. Where appropriate, our staff will point people to local bereavement counsellors.
