Funeralcare

Putting u in Southern Co-op

Our End of Life Services business operates funeral homes, crematoria, woodland burial grounds and a natural burial ground. Some of our funeral homes operate under The Co-operative Funeralcare brand and some are privately named.

Careers in end of life services can be raw and emotional but they can also be rewarding, poignant, memorable and touching. You'll experience first-hand how your empathy, compassion and understanding are of utmost importance at a time when emotions are running high. Whatever your role, emotional strength, and the drive to get it right first time are important prerequisites when working for this part of our business.

Crematoria and woodland/natural burial grounds

We own a number of crematoria and burial grounds across our trading area. Families are attracted to these sites not only because of the empathetic and sensitive support provided by our experienced colleagues, but also because of their natural settings which we have worked hard to enhance and maintain for the benefit of our clients.

Crematoria and burial ground administrators and operatives assist in the provision of a courteous, efficient, caring and professional service to all our clients.

Bereavement Care

Our bereavement care provides support, counselling, social groups, life coaching and memorial services for those dealing with bereavement.

Our co-ordinators help to grow the efficiency of our aftercare service. No two days are the same, one day you could be delivering a bereavement workshop or study day and on another you might be networking with organisations and presenting educational sessions.
