Celebrity Send Off

At Co-op Funeralcare, we believe that talking about your funeral wishes now helps your loved ones later. We've partnered with Channel 4 in a bold new three-part digital mini series where celebrities have a loved one arrange and carry out a funeral service based on what they think they would want. Each celebrity duo will get the chance to watch the service back, starting a conversation about what their ideal send-off would really look like.
