From the moment we first stepped into the Office, T.Allen looked after our family so well. They provided all we asked for and the day of the funeral went like clockwork. Every aspect was catered for from water in the limousines to a folder containing the cards which came with our flowers. It was lovely to be attended by Mark Allen on the day and the company arranged for family members to act as pall bearers which was greatly appreciated. The whole day was a fitting tribute to my husband Martin. We could not have asked for a better service.

  • 5 Olga Bromfield 7th Oct 2024

    Everything was very efficiently done with great care.
    We felt immediately in good hands and were very well adviced throughout the process of choices from the beginning to the end. Especially Scott did an amazing Job of coming to see me and was leading me through his very excellent experience to a very special and beautiful Service. The drive to the Medway Crematorium through High Street with the Austin Hearse was so very touching and very well organised. Thanks to Donna who did a wonderful leaflet for us. Michelle and Aslei were so helpful and kind and patient with all our questions and wishes. Thank you T Allen

    From the cars arriving at the house to taking us back to the venue for the wake, the funeral director and the pallbearers were excellent.

  • 5 Allison Terry 25th Jun 2024

    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.

  • 5 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. 

  • 5 Sharon Sevenoaks 19th May 2024
