At our Darwen Funeral Home, this beautiful Delicate Heart Tree offers a meaningful way for families to stay connected to their loved one. Each handcrafted heart is shared as a pair, with one accompanying your loved one on their final journey and the other kept close by those who love them.

A small gesture that brings comfort, connection and a lasting reminder that love never leaves us. ❤️

We are helping to tackle hygiene poverty in the UK.
Community is of great importance to Coop and we try to help where ever we can. Oldham Coop Funeralcare have recently teamed up with the 'Hygiene Bank' to collect essential beauty and personal care products for those in desperate need. A full list of of suggested items can be found on the website - thehygienebank.com. Our care centre is a drop off point and so we kindly ask that if you do have any unused toiletries that you can donate please drop them into our funeral home on John Street, Oldham , OL8 1DF. You will be helping us to help others.

An introduction to your Coop Funeralcare team at Oldham. I am Rebecca Shipley, Funeral Director based at the Oldham Care Centre. I have worked for Coop for over 7 years, i started as a funeral arranger then went on to become a funeral director after 18 months. It was always my ambition to become a funeral director and I can truly say I love my job. The role can be difficult, both emotionally & physically but when you see the difference you have made by supporting our wonderful families it makes it all worth while. I am proud of the work that we do and we work hard to ensure we provide the best service possible. Our team is available 24 hours, 7 days a week to offer support and guidance every step of the way.
