    We can't thank Tim & Rachael enough for the way they treated Dad which was a great comfort to us all, they were so kind, caring and very respectable and their attention to detail is impeccable. We were dreading having to organise the funeral but when we saw Tim he made a traumatic time much easier for all of us, understanding what our family was going through and nothing was to much trouble. Tim & the team were brilliant on the day of the funeral looking after us every step of the way, we thankyou from the bottom of our hearts. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Tim & staff at T.J.Parry's Funeral Directors.

Guidance was gently given with the upmost compassion and with respect. The service was conducted to way above my expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend TJP to anyone in the he same situation. Thank you so much.

    T J Parry and Family handled every aspect of my husbands funeral with kindness and sensitivity.  Tim was very professional and showed respect and dignity at every turn. From bringing him home to dropping the family home after the service was handled perfectly. The turn out of the cars and team on the day was brilliant - many who attended and saw the Web Cast said it was a beautiful service. Thank you Tim and your brilliant team.

  • 5 Brian Pountney 27th Feb 2021

    This was the first time that I had to arrange a funeral and it was important to me that everything was done correctly and as my wife Jean would have expected it to be. From the first meeting that I had with Tim Parry I was confident that I had chosen the right people to make the arrangements and I knew that I could rely on them to do what I asked of them.
    Tim and his team kept me informed of developments of the funeral plan from original meeting to the cremation.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending TJ Parry and family funeral directors to anyone needing to make funeral arrangements.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Brian, and most of all thank you for entrusting us, its been an honour. Take care.

    Tim and his dedicated team ensured my husband’s farewell ceremony was special and meaningful. As well as being extremely professional, he was kind, patient and understanding. Without doubt he made a very emotional and traumatic occasion more bearable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

  • 5 Christine Smith 1st Feb 2021

    The family of the Late Peter John Smith

    Words are not enough to express the care, compassion and professionalism of this funeral director, from the initial telephone conversation to the funeral and beyond. We spoke with Tim about a unique and personalised service we wanted for our recently deceased husband and dad, Peter John Smith. Nothing was too much trouble, he gave of his time freely and treated Peter with the dignity and respect he deserved. We would recommend T J Parry & Family without reservation.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review Chris. Its been an honour to care for you and thank you for entrusting us.

  • 5 John and Pat xxx Garratt/Turner 16th Jan 2021

    I genuinely cannot thank Tim enough for the way he has looked after my lovely dad. He is kind, caring, respectful and no detail is too small or too difficult for him. His continued support for my family and I has helped us so much through this incredibly sad time and he made what was, for me, an initially very traumatic and daunting task very simple, personal and beautiful. Tim and his whole team were brilliant on the day of the funeral and it was so lovely and dignified. They have honoured dad in a way I could have only hoped for.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. You really did Dad proud with the beautiful service you arranged. You all remain in our thoughts.
  • 5 Amanda Hansen 11th Jan 2021
