Once again, the experts at The Good Funeral Guide have recommended Co-op Funeral Directors, part of Chelmsford Star Co-operative Society, within their 2020 publications.

The Good Funeral Guide is the trusted, independent, not-for-profit, information resource available for clients, customers, supporters and allies of the funeral industry. A representative said, “A test we always apply is ‘would this organisation be good enough for our mum?’ and with Co-op Funeral Directors it 100% is.”

The Australian co-op sector is providing support for emergency relief and future reconstruction following the ongoing bushfires crisis, which has seen homes destroyed across eastern Australia, communities devastated, lives tragically lost, and wildlife populations decimated.

Chelmsford Star stands alongside our Australian co-op allies, and so we have donated $1000 AUD to assist them in their efforts.

From buying British when you can, to making the most of your freezer, just a few little adjustments to your daily routine can make a big difference to the environment.

Here's to a more eco-friendly 2020...
