Paige Salt 5th Mar 2025

I approached TJ Parry having never had to arrange a funeral before, feeling very overwhelmed. Even from the initial phone call with Tim I was treated with patience, compassion and ... understanding and this experienced continued throughout the whole team. Tim is born to do this job, I can’t think of anything more him and the team could have done for us during this time; nothing was too big or small an ask and I have absolutely no doubt that my dad was cared for with the upmost respect and attention. I cannot thank Tim and the team enough.  more

  • 5 Edward Crisp 17th Feb 2025

    I have no hesitation in recommending TJ Parry& Family Funeral Directors. At what is a most painful and stressful time, they handled my wife's funeral with compassion and professionalism. At every stage they made the process reassuringly simple and easy.

    Their beautiful grey funeral limousine and hearse ensured my wife's last journey was in style. Every little detail was covered, and their staff throughout were excellent in carrying out their duties sympathetically.

    Thank you for arranging a beautiful private service for my father in accordance with his wishes. He looked so peaceful and I was honoured to be able an add some sentimental items to his coffin alongside a small sample of mums’ ashes.  They now both reside in a joint scatter box ready to be scattered at sea.  Thank you for making this difficult time so memorable in a beautiful touching way.

    We couldn't have asked for more from Tim and his team. They showed us care and compassion the whole time they had our loved one with them. Their attention to detail really helped during and after the funeral too. I highly recommend Tim Parry funeral directors.

  • 5 Tanya Upton 14th Jan 2025

    T.J. Parry and family arranged my father’s funeral. The only way to start this review would be to thank you so much for your understanding, commitment, care, and kindness. Losing my Father was heart-breaking, but at the same time daunting at the thought of arranging his funeral while going through the worst possible moments in my life, but they took that away I informed Tim of what I thought my Father would of wanted and him made it happen right down to the lowering of his coffin with a glass of beer on top without spilling a drop his team are definitely committed to providing the most amazing service with total respect.
