The Great Baddow branch is part of Chelmsford Star Co-operative Society (founded 1867), an independent regional co-operative unconnected to The Co-operative Group, running an eight-branch funeral network across the Chelmsford area including Braintree, Broomfield, Danbury, Ingatestone, Writtle and Great Dunmow.
Services include traditional and personalised funeral arrangements, family-participation options such as carrying the coffin or washing and dressing the deceased, home visits, embalming where appropriate, ethnic and faith-specific funeral expertise, and ongoing bereavement support groups.
A distinctive feature is that staff are not commission-based, so there is no incentive to upsell; the co-op also offers a mid-range "Simple Funeral" option and community-focused touches such as seasonal remembrance gatherings.
