    I cannot thank everyone enough for the care, compassion, and respectfulness shown to myself and my whole family during this sad time. From the first meeting with Sarah, to being taken home after the service, you were all wonderful. Thank you.

  • 5 Fiona Bailey 4th Aug 2023

    My family entrusted T.Allen (Rainham Branch - Kent) to assist us with our mum’s funeral. We were guided through the process with care, efficiency & professionalism, from the initial phone call & meeting, right through to our mum’s funeral & after care. We were thoroughly supported & couldn’t fault the service provided. We send our heartfelt thanks to Sarah & the team of gentleman on the day, who showed care & respect for our mum & us. 

  • 5 Caroline Morgan 3rd Aug 2023

    I can honestly recommend T Allen's Funeral Service as compassionate, considerate, professional and thorough. All of their staff were welcoming and approachable and gave honest useful advice on the process of organizing the funeral while taking into consideration us as a family and our requirements. The office staff were brilliant and checked in with us before and after the funeral to ensure everything was to plan and constantly asking if they could be of any further assistance. On the day the staff were so respectful especially to my mother who was distraught, giving us the time we needed to grieve properly. These are a true family firm who make me feel that my Dad had the best care on his final journey.

  • 5 Patricia Wright 22nd Jul 2023

    My family and I have nothing but praise for the entire team at T Allen from collecting my husband when he passed to delivering us to the wake.  The whole team were considerate, kind and sympathetic, nothing was too much trouble and they delivered everything we asked for. They took care of a dearly loved and missed husband and father with dignity.  Thank you to the whole team, Pat and the boys

  • 5 Kathleen Hart 27th May 2022

    My dealings with the Rainham Office were really efficient and so helpful in a difficult time from our initial meeting to the actual cremation.
    It is the exceptional kindness from each and every member of the team that must be mentioned here.
    My particular thanks go to Sophie for all her help and kindness throughout the process. I know things could have been so much harder for myself and my family without her.

  • 5 Linda Newton 13th May 2022

    We can’t thank Sophie enough for supporting us through a very difficult few weeks.  At a time when our thoughts were all over the place, Sophie guided us in a calm yet cheerful way.  It helped us to cope knowing Sophie was looking after dad with great care and respect.  On the day of the funeral T Allen were very professional yet sympathetic and respectful.

    I used T Allen for my father’s funeral in 2017 as well. Everything was perfect on both occasions. Nothing is too much trouble and so highly professional.  From the collection of the body to the actual day of the funeral they have been in contact and helped me organise the perfect send off. I cannot thank you all enough - Liz in the office in 2017 and Sophie this time plus of course the gentlemen on the actual day. Thank you all most sincerely you made the lowest time of my life bearable.
