Thank you for giving my aunty a lovely send off

Deborah Parmenter 24th Mar 2025

From the moment we walked in the door to make and enquiry we were taken care of, no question was too silly and everything was clearly explained. Rita and Michelle at Twydall were ... amazing leading up to the day even checking in to make sure we were okay. Highly recommend their services and won't hesitate to choose them again when needed.  more

    Thank you to everyone at T Allen for helping our family with the arrangements during our time of grief. I cannot commend high enough praise in their professionalism and compassion during this time. Thank you to Rita and Liz in our initial meetings, and to Mark and his team on the actual day.

  • 5 Kim Martin 12th Jan 2025

    During a very difficult time losing my son to awful circumstances, both Rita and Liz showed compassion and fully supported our situation.
    They were genuine, kept in contact with anything I needed to be aware of, made sure I got the time I needed to say goodbye to my son.

  • 5 Mr Peter Bailey 21st Nov 2024

    Exceptionally caring, sympathetic, helpful and respectful.
    Nothing was too much trouble from the initial meeting to the actual funeral. 

  • 5 Nicola Lucas 18th Nov 2024

    All the staff were supportive, kept in touch with all the arrangements. Not at all pushy about their products, went through the arrangements on more than one occasion, which I found reassuring, we changed our minds on one or two things, and that was no problem.
    Our journey to and from the crematorium was respectful, and what was a nice touch a small packet of tissues was on the main family chairs.
    It was a stressful time, with their support it was made easier.
    Thank you

  • 5 Angela Large 12th Nov 2024

    Sadly we lost our Mum & Dad within 5months of each other. When Dad passed away on 28th Sep, we gladly used T Allen again.
    It's the way in which they manage the admin around a funeral effectively and respectfully. Not an easy job but one they deliver so so well.

    Really deserved 5* excellent rating.

  • 5 Julie Taylor 7th Oct 2024

    Took the worries away from us by the family saying what we wanted & them delivering without no problems. Excellent service on the day too. Julie

  • 5 Hugh Pemble 17th Sep 2024

  • 5 Mr Graham Satchell 24th Aug 2024

    Extremely professional company, not only did they look after my late wife, the concern showed by the ladies at the chapel of rest, for my daughters and I, was exceptional.
    On the day of the funeral the courtesy shown to my family and myself was second to none.
    I would highly recommend, T Allen funeral services to take care of your loved one's.
    On behalf of my family, I would like to say a big thank you the staff at T Allen funeral services Gillingham.

  • 5 Mrs Lisa Webster 12th Aug 2024

    Liz and the other staff at the Twydall Office were professional, kind and understanding. They kept us informed of what was happening at each stage of the journey, explaining what was required in a clear and concise way.
    I cannot recommend them enough.
    Thank you for making this difficult journey a little easier.

  • 5 Anita McAloren 29th May 2024

    The staff were extremely compassionate, empathic and so helpful every step of the journey, during the planning of my dads funeral, the Twydall office as always were super professional but also very kind and took most of the stress and worries away. The extra touches, personal touches and the kindness shown to us all was very welcomed. On the day, Mark and his team could not have been more kinder to us all and also ensured dad had the best send of he could have done, it was beautiful and all thanks to Mark and his team. sadly, this is not the first funeral that Mark and his team have done for our family in the last 27 years since we first used Terry and his services, but they truly are the best at what they do. So glad my dad was able to be laid to rest with you all assisting. Thank you from all of us x

  • 5 Angela Large 28th May 2024

    Obviously an emotive time, but from the first phone call to the last part of the funeral service, they managed every conversation sensitively, without being too 'chatty', it was perfect combination of practical guidance and sympathy.

    Honestly it was the most perfect send off, I couldn't have asked them to do more.

  • 5 Lisa McCarten 28th May 2024

    A brilliant service, before, during and after my dad’s funeral.  Thank you to Rita and Liz in store and Matthew and his team on the day.  They all worked so hard to give
    Dad the send off he deserved.  Would highly recommend them.
