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. 

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

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 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.

  • 5 Patricia Bagley 13th May 2024

    T.Allen helped organised my husband’s funeral. I couldn't have wished for a better send off for him. From the time they took George into their care, as a family we felt safe and secure. All the staff are professional, caring and nothing is too much trouble. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making the worst day of my and my family’s life that little bit easier.
     Patricia and the Bagley Family.

  • 5 Mark Quin 28th Sep 2023

    An amazing family run business. Have used them for both of our parents with no complaints.

    They are very empathetic and every single one of them are amazingly respectful and tentative to all our requirements regardless of how off the wall they were.

    Have asked that they be used for me as I know I will be in safe hands, not too soon though, I hope.
