The Co-operative “all in one place” service

The Co-operative today (26 November) officially launched a complete Will and Funeral Planning service - all provided directly by The Co-operative businesses.

In order to assist customers, The Co-operative has also produced a Free Guide that contains advice and support on all the things someone may want to consider when thinking about Will writing, Funeral Planning and Probate and Estate Administration.

Ian Mackie, Managing Director of Funeral Planning said: "The Co-operative is in a unique position to provide Will writing, Funeral Planning and Probate and Estate Administration services all in one place. On top of that there's free, no obligation advice available across all these areas. This will give people a helping hand to sort out their arrangements.

"We carried out in-depth research which told us that customers want to be able to go to one place for all their 'future planning' needs. They also value having free, expert advice and access to information that helps them make up their own mind.

"As a provider of both funeral and Probate and Estate Administration services, we understand the benefit of having complete plans in place, removing unnecessary worry and upset for those left behind.

"We hope that people will find our free guide to planning ahead useful and informative. It's not just about making people aware of what we do, it's giving them the information they need in a way that's simple and easy to understand.  The aim is to help people figure out what plans they need to make, and if they need free advice and support, that's what we're here for."

The Co-operative has considerable experience and expertise - as the UK's largest funeral director, with over 70 years experience and an expert legal team handling Will writing and Probate and Estate Administration. The Co-operative is committed to providing free, no obligation advice and fixed fees for all these services - offering complete peace of mind and excellent value for money.
