Fabulous service as always. Exceptionally kind thoughtful and respectful staff, who ensured that everything went smoothly and made a difficult time a little easier. Thank you so much.

Kara Atkin 16th Jun 2024

Despite the whole process being painful, everyone at T. Allen made this a beautiful experience. From the very first meeting with Michelle, which I was very anxious about, it was beautiful. I even walked away smiling because of the lightness that the situation allowed at times. The planning was straight forward and well explained and every single step could not have been better. My mum would have been so happy with the attention and care that went into the service, and in the taking care of her, herself. I could not recommend a company if someone is dealing with something similar, and the people along the way were incredible. I have nothing but praise and thanks to give.

    I returned to T Allen after I had used them for my Dad, then for my Mum.
    They are excellent for listening and understanding what you want and not making a fuss if that isn't what you want.
    When the funeral cortege arrived at the crematorium it was exactly what my Mum would have wanted which helped enormously for the rest of the day.
