Hi, Mick your such a old school Gent.after what happened in Hull that became national news I found your channel. 2 years earlier I lost my dad and 10 weeks later my mum oddly you bring comfort to the good guys in the industry. As we all know as we get older the more funerals u will go to .. The way you look after your loved ones is special. Keep it real boss doing a fab job stay safe.

You're absolutely right about faceless direct cremation companies Michael. Whenever I discuss direct funerals with families, I always tell them to contact a reliable, local funeral director. That said, I still have reservations about unattended funerals in general. Whilst the deceased gets their wishes, the family and friends are often left without a way to gain closure. We learned through Covid how this can affect people. A funeral may mark the end of someone's life, but it also marks the beginning of others healing.

I believe we have spoken about this before Simon. The funeral is for the living as it helps with to deale with the Death of a loved one. When I have spoken to families after a direct cremation I'm often told they have had no closure.

I so very agree. My niece passed away in May of 2024 my sister had her cremated. Someone picked my niece up from the hospital and told my sister her ashes can be picked up in 10 days. This was in the U.S. state of Florida. I was angry at my sister . I live in Rhode Island in the U.S. in most states around me we have to contact a Funeral Director and they will handle arrangements. I was up set because were was my niece for 10 days waiting to be cremated. I agree with you 💯

I,m on 6 month;y scans for 5yrs now then annually after that. I,m one of the lucky ones but its the people around you ie family and friends that suffer too. My missus is no anti depressants now and our friends are so genuinley pleased Ive had such a good outcome. Thats just a bit of background from me . Keep doing these its such a good thing that you do them I suppose you will never know the extent of therapy that we get from your little chats mate .Thankyou. Regards Stuart from a bit further North.

I call them disposal companies because that's what they are, only disposing of deceased people. They don't arrange and conduct funerals they wouldn't know how! They don't deserve to be referred to as funeral directors. enjoy your weekend.

Thankyou so much for your video. I have been thinking about this for a few years now and have looked up on line for cheap cremation without fuss. You gave co op funeral care a name. ( im clueless when it comes to death, burying and all that goes with planning sorting etc.) I am wanting a direct cremation, im now 65 with good ish health , albeit controlled high blood pressure and ectopic heart beats,. ) The thought of my children ( not children in years, but children to me) who i love so dearly, the thought that they would have to go through all the stuff with the death, funerals church, cars flowers the list goes on. Not only do I not want my kids to go through all that i definitely do not want them paying all that money. I love them to much. So i have looked up the CO OP funeral shop by me, and I will be going there for a chat and pay for my cremation and pay it in instalments and then it's done and dusted ( no pun intended )😊😂😂😂😂. So this video really helped me sort my head out. Thankyou again ever so much ❤

There is no excuse for funeral directors to use old scruffy vans because there are companies which provide older Private Ambulances. I am sure the Co Op will sell off there old Private Ambulances which are nice they are mostly old Mercedes Vitos. The Co Op are Mr Money bags and they dont keep vehicles very long which is good and bad because how much money do they make to be able to afford that, over charging?.

I just paid via my local funeral director for a direct cremation for when I die..For the price they include a dressing and a viewing. I spoke to a lady who's husband died and had a direct cremation. She was devastated when they took his body away as she released that she would never see his physical body again. My point is perhaps we need to just check what they will do for the price and check what those that really care about what you feel.
