From the initial point of contact until completion of the day itself, the staff were compassionate, understanding and unbelievably professional. They would ring to make sure we were okay during the build up to the day, helped with other contacts and on the day itself even called to let us know the flowers etc had all arrived. The staff who made up the funeral procession were kind, extremely courteous and respectful.

Excellent caring service.

Sarah Barlow 8th Apr 2023

Glenys in particular was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She explained everything beautifully to us and made sure everything we wanted was listened to and put into place. When seeing my father in the chapel of rest, Glenys was very supportive and made sure we knew what to expect, she was very open and honest. I could not imagine using another funeral directors. The gentlemen on the day were also absolutely amazing. They were patient, kind and supportive. They were beyond professional. Thank you all at T Allen. You made everything run so smoothly & made the whole experience one my dad would have been proud of. S Barlow x

  • 5 Katie Bettesworth 21st Feb 2023

    From start to finish the service we received was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. Everything felt so personal and made a difficult situation easier for us to deal with. 

  • 5 Michele Morement 20th Feb 2023

    I was extremely happy with the support that I received from everyone - one brief conversation and they quickly and quietly started to make all the arrangements for me. At the meeting with them to finalise the details it was made as easy as possible for me and they continued to support and check in with me. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 Julie Richardson 18th Feb 2023

    Everything done to perfection with care and understanding

  • 5 Lesley Caswell 31st Dec 2022

    From the moment we walked into the Strood branch, we knew who we were going to go with. Nothing was too much trouble. A special thanks to Glenys with whome we dealt with the most and the men on tha day who were more than prepared to sort out a little hiccup but instead gave me the strengthto be a bigger person. Everything we wanted was done and more. The dressing in own clothes, personal items in the coffin, the presentation and viewing in the chapel (little things such as lace veil and flowers on the coffin).
    On the actual day I didn't have to think about a thing. The presentation of the left over orders of service was simple and stunning. The plastic wallet containing the tribute cards from the flowers so they can be kept. When I was presented with a single rose from the coffin spray it left me speechless (in a good way). The compassion, the empathy, the professionalism was 200%. For all of this I was expecting to pay considerably more than we did. Value for money doesn't really come into it when you are saying goodbye to a loved, but it was very reasonably priced. I could say so much more but I would more than recommend T. Allen Funeral Service. 5 🌟 aren't enough.

  • 5 Peter Ives 9th Dec 2022

    The arrangements were perfect and everyone was so caring and helpful.

  • 5 Glen Braidwood 5th Dec 2022

    From the very start of carrying out Derek's funeral wishes, the staff at T Allen were superb. Glenys, with whom we had the majority of dealings, was so compassionate, helpful and kind. She went the extra mile to make sure that everything was explained and carried out as she said it would be. On the day, Matthew, who looked after the family, was highly professional yet compassionate, as were all the gentlemen. He made Derek's wife and daughters feel that Derek was still being cared for.
    All the staff we met were, without exception, caring and thoughtful. They all truly looked after Derek and his family in a most special way. Glenys also introduced us to Louise Rogers, the celebrant who conducted Derek's service beautifully. A very difficult time was made a little easier to bear with all the kindness and support we received from all those mentioned. Thank you.

  • 5 Sally-Ann Morris 29th Nov 2022

  • 5 Alison Hill 20th Sep 2022

    This is not the first time our family have used T Allen Funeral Service and we will continue to.  Everyone that we have dealt with has been professional and showed such empathy to us as a family and did their upmost to ensure the funeral arrangements were everything we wanted.
