Co-op Funeralcare, Yate
86 Station Road, Yate, BS37 4PH
We're a funeral home in the heart of Yate, serving the communities of Chipping Sodbury, Westerleigh and Coalpit Heath since 1980. Our clients describe us as "patient, kind, and compassionate". These are words we live by every day as we strive to give everyone who comes to us the best experience possible when arranging a funeral.
The first thing we'll do at the arrangement meeting is listen to you. And whatever your religion, culture or heritage, we can help you arrange the right kind of funeral. We work with all the local places of worship and crematoriums, including St Mary's Church, The Gateway Elim Church and St Lawrence and St Paul Church and Westerleigh Crematorium. So whatever type of funeral you need to arrange, we can help you.
We will give you a warm welcome, a cup of tea and the confidence that any funeral you arrange with us will be the best it can be. Call us or come to our funeral home on Station Road.

Yes, our Yate funeral home on Station Road serves families across Chipping Sodbury, Westerleigh, Coalpit Heath, and the wider area. Whether you live in the heart of Yate or further out in one of the surrounding communities, our team will come to you and guide you through every step at whatever pace feels right for your family.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and our team will be there to help, starting with bringing your loved one into our care from wherever they have died. From that first call, we will talk you through the paperwork, explain what needs to happen and when, and make sure nothing feels rushed or overwhelming, because we have been supporting families in Yate and Chipping Sodbury through exactly this moment since 1980.
Absolutely, and we have supported services at a number of local churches including St Mary's Church, St Lawrence and St Paul Church, and The Gateway Elim Church. Whether your family follows a particular faith tradition or you would prefer a non-religious funeral, our team will work with you to reflect what matters most, bringing the same patient and compassionate approach whatever form the service takes.
We use Westerleigh Crematorium for cremation services, which is close to the communities we serve and a place our team knows well. On the day, we will lead the procession from wherever your family gathers, support you throughout the service, and make sure everything runs as smoothly and peacefully as possible so you can focus entirely on saying goodbye.
Yes, we have a small car park behind the funeral home on Station Road with four spaces, including designated disabled parking, and the building is fully wheelchair accessible. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and can comfortably seat up to five people, so your family can meet with us in a calm, private setting without any concern about access.
