Very efficient, caring, 

Joanne Dee Turk 7th Oct 2022

The service provided by T.Allen was second to none.  From the time we visited to discuss what we wanted for dad to the final farewell given was fantastic.  All the staff are so caring and professional.  A very hard job to carry out takes a very special person.  Thank you

    I can’t thank Terry Allen’s enough for everything they did for me in arranging my mum’s funeral.  Special mention to Michelle who was so lovely at such a difficult time and nothing was too much trouble.  On the day everyone was so respectful and professional.  I could not fault the service they gave me.

  • 5 Jane Kingsford 3rd Jul 2022

    Excellent service throughout process and day. Obviously a difficult time for all, but made easier by everything going so smoothly. Even down to the nice touch of having water bottles provided in car afterwards, which we didn’t expect but was much appreciated. Thank you

  • 5 Robert Billson 11th Feb 2022

    From start to finish, all of the staff were professional, courteous and understanding.
    The funeral itself was exactly as requested and went off without any hitches.
    Admin. were happy to answer any questions I had, and responded very quickly.
    I would highly recommend T. Allen funeral directors.

  • 5 Nigel Haynes 19th Dec 2021

    Excellent service, very professional, highly respectable to the family.

  • 5 Matthew Fray 17th Aug 2021

    T. Allen were at all times helpful, sympathetic, respectful and great at communicating at a time when we weren't exactly thinking clearly.

    When they picked us up to take us to the crematorium they went the extra mile (literally) taking us through the villages to avoid an accident (the office had been in touch to inform them of the accident). So they were on the ball as well.

  • 5 Mary Clark 17th Aug 2021

    Very kind and helpful

  • 5 Jennifer Champion 10th Aug 2021

    Having gone with another funeral service provider initially but been unhappy with their service, I contacted T. J Allen and they could not have been anymore respectful, helpful and supportive. They dealt directly with the other service provider to relieve the pressure from me, keeping me informed the whole time. The support and guidance offered by themselves is second to none. I am so grateful to them and their support at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Brenda Cole 2nd Jun 2021

    We buried our Dear Beloved Mum/Wife on the 20th May. I would like to say it was a Gold Star Service from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend T. Allen to anyone they are caring and they will go above and beyond to make sure all your wishes are met. There staff are truly professional and we weregreeted by a beautiful smile when Viewing our Mum/Wife. Limo Drivers were spot on as well. Their Chapel of Rest was beautiful with soothing music playing in the back ground making you feel comfortable when visiting your beloved.

  • 5 Sonia Thomson 1st Jun 2021

    Michelle was totally amazing. Kind, compassionate, understanding

  • 5 Rachael Sherlock 29th May 2021

    I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. T.Allen were amazing through the entire process, very supportive and understanding. I would definitely recommend them to anyone going through this very difficult process. 

  • 5 Deborah Brown 22nd May 2021

    Very professional,compassionate and nothing was to much trouble from the moment we needed collection of my mother to the funeral. All the staff were polite, helpful and very respectful. Would highly recommend.
