Thank you to all the team at T. Allen for everything that you did for us in the run up to Dads funeral and on the day.  What was very a difficult time for both Mum and I was made that much easier, because you took away a lot of the stress that comes with the event and ensured everything was in place and ready for us. We both couldn’t be more appreciative of everything you done. Being able to visit Dad before the day and at other times too, became a huge comfort for me, and I couldn’t be more grateful for it.  I also wanted to say a huge thank you to the pallbearers and drivers on the day; I’m really sorry, I didn’t catch all their names, for everything and for allowing me the chance to help carry Dad to his final resting place. Also, for the incredible respect that they showed and help they gave. We couldn’t have asked for more.  Thank you so much!

Thank you to all involved. Dad had requested yourself as you had helped with other Family members over the years. Starting with our mum in 2001. Thank you from us all.

Angela Young 29th Apr 2023

T Allen were fabulous from the first phone call to them. It was Easter Sunday and they were courteous and very helpful. The funeral arrangements were made as easy as possible by Michelle she took us through it step by step of what was needed and what we could have. On the day it went smoothly the celebrant Debbie on the day was fantastic, everyone commented on what a lovely service it was. I would thoroughly recommend T Allen funeral services.

    From the first phone call through to the delivery of our family members to the wake, their service was first class – professional, compassionate and faultless. Their attention to detail was so personal and appreciated.
    Faced with the loss of both our parents in quick succession and the daunting organisation of a joint funeral, their team were amazing. From the ladies in the office, the gentlemen who collected our Dad from us, and the whole team involved on the day – they were amazing. They steered us through a very difficult process. Would thoroughly recommend their services.

  • 4 Sharon Smith 6th Dec 2022

    The only thing that stopped me from giving an excellent score was the fact then when we went to see my dad in the chapel of rest my mum was upset that he had a plastic flower on top of his coffin, we felt that a single real rose would of been much more appropriate. 

  • 5 Joanne Holliss 5th Dec 2022

    Michelle was very understanding and caring, she made the whole upsetting process slightly easier. We never felt rushed, had plenty of time to make our decisions. Couldn’t thank them enough for taking great care of my beloved dad x
