Based on the corner of Park Road in Wallsend Go As You Please, is an undertakers/funeral directors…read morewhich ever you care to call it,that caused a stir when they first hit the high street.The shop front is'nt all doom and gloom.It hit's death albeit a sad and to some a taboo subject in the face,but it does it with what I think is a good mix of humour and dignity.No discreet net cutains and signs here but blatant price lists showing what they offer and the costs involved.Standing loud and proud are various options of disposal.Coffins in brightly painted union jack designs(or whatever else you want realy)wicker,wood and cardboard coffins stand up against the walls arranged neatly around the receptionists desk.Cremation urns stand on the window ledges in various designs showing you one thing,that you have a choice.We may not be able to choose whether we die or not,that's inevitable but this undertaker gives us all the chance of our own individually designed send off.Something unheard of round here until this firm took off. A friend of mine recently used this firm and was very pleased with the way the funeral was handled,every care was taken and every detail was catered for and it was done with dignity.They thought the cost was comparible to other firms who did'nt give them the options they got with Go As You Please.

All have been to the highest quality and delivered and installed at no extra cost. They are not as competitively priced as e.g. Argos, but for their range and customer service they are well worth any extra cost. Also with e.g. Argos you might have to wait a long time to get your electrical equipment delivered whereas Electrocare have always delivered my items within a week at a time that suited me.

Excellent service and value from the guys at Electrocare…read more My fridge packed up and I popped down to see them, I compared prices with the huge Curry's superstore up the road and Electrocare were loads cheaper, they even delivered and installed for me. I'll be back!

I love a good hunt through the British Heart Foundation charity shop! In this particular branch I…read morehave bagged quite a few goodies over the years including a gorgeous prom dress which originally would have cost £100+... and I paid the pricely sum of £5 for it! The staff is made up mainly of volunteers who are always very pleasant and helpful. That was my best buy but there have been others including Next jumpers, Topshop bags and belts, and other designer accessories. Not only is it good to know that you are getting a bargain but you also get that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that your money is supporting a great, worthwhile cause.
