About Co-op Funeralcare, Durham
Co-op Funeralcare on Gilesgate is one of Durham's best-known funeral directors, sitting a short walk from the city centre and market place. As part of the national co-operative, it offers a full range of burial and cremation services, including simpler and lower-cost options, and publishes its prices openly so families know where they stand at a difficult time.
The branch is backed by a 24-hour central care team, so there is always someone to speak to when a death occurs, day or night. Staff can guide families through everything from arranging the funeral to explaining paperwork, and can help with practical matters such as flowers, orders of service and choosing between traditional or more personalised farewells.
