Our reviews

Very disappointing. After experiencing a first class service when my mother died, unfortunately Johnsons/ Duckworths/ Dignity (or whatever they're called today) performed very poorly when we tried to engage their services this time.
Every time I telephoned I was transferred to a different office and a different person answered with a different company name. We weren't offered a home visit; I was promised a call back which I'm still waiting for; I was promised an email which never arrived. Finally, a week later I received a bundle of paperwork with my father's name spelled incorrectly, no contact details of the person who'd sent it. Nothing.
So I contacted the CoOp. I was offered a home visit the following day. We were treated promptly, courteously and sympathetically and the following morning I was contacted by telephone and email - everything in place within 24 hours. That's good service.
It would appear that the Johnson's that came to be known, trusted and respected have been 'swallowed' by a larger organisation. So much for progress - it's not working very well.
