  • 5 Jan Wright 10th Aug 2024

    Sadly my youngest son passed at the age of 26 years. I chose Tim and his team due to the high recommendations I had received. Tim and his team were so professional, compassionate and empathetic. They helped me through a very difficult time. Everything was done with complete dignity and amazing support. Nothing was too much trouble for them. There are not enough words to express my thanks to them. They made a very difficult day for my family more bearable with their conduct, respect and support. Tim is a very special person and his kindness will never be forgotten

    Great friendly and supportive care from initial enquiry to the service. Every detail was considered and nothing was too much for Tim and his team. Communication was to a high standard and I was kept informed at every stage. Their referral to Steve/Last Rites was seamless and they worked together to create a service that was perfectly fitting for my mum. Professionalism, respect and integrity at every step for my mum and my family.

  • 5 Christine Tomlinson 17th Jun 2024

    T J Parry went the extra mile for our passed loved one. We could go and see our loved one as many times as we wanted and were very accommodating. The funeral service was so beautiful. Tim walked us through everything and supported us through it all. We are beyond greatful for everything Tim and the staff did for our loved one and us.

  • 5 Peter Atton 17th Jun 2024

    They have been great from start to finish. Excellent.

  • 5 Non Mosey 8th Jun 2024

    I cannot praise Parry’s enough. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They collected our dear son from London and despite me changing from a cremation to burial, nothing was too much trouble. All was handled with dignity and care. This sadly is our second time of using them and each time they have displayed the same professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

  • 5 Kirsty Rustage 8th Jun 2024

    From my initial phone call to Tim, I was shown empathy and compassion. I called Tim with questions regarding planning a funeral before my dad had passed away , as his death was expected . Tim was available to answer any questions and gave me good advice on what to do when the time came the I required his services. Myself and my brother visited Tim’s premises when the time came, which is a beautiful, calm environment . We were very well looked after, and Tim was clear and empathic when discussing the process. Some of my dad’s wishes were logistically not practical , and Tim was able to respectfully guide us with ideas and solutions to ensure we could stick to our dad’s plan as close as we could. Many attendees also complimented Tim to myself and my brother around his professionalism
    And the dignified service he delivered . The team based in the premises were all lovely, kind and respectful, & always available to answer questions and help with queries. 
    Tim’s limousine Chauffuers were kind and respectful and made the journey easier to cope with. There were many smaller details that made a huge impact on the day such as the funeral signs which go in the cars whilst on the final journey.  The tissues which were also available in the cars , and the little memory cards we received at the end of the funeral. A Huge thank you to Tim & all of his team for making a very difficult time, much easier to cope with.

    My whole experience of using T J Parry's was brilliant... What an amazing young man Tim Parry is !!! Richard and Rachel Parry must stand 10 feet tall with pride to see how their son has revolutionised funeral services in our town.This was the last thing I could do for my husband so it had to be right !! I need not have had any worries Tim and his amazing team surpassed all my expectations, an immaculate comfortable funeral home , immaculate cars the team always immaculately dressed in respectful attire ,they all oozed respect , sympathy,love and empathy at all times . I knew my husband would be in safe caring hands with Tim when I chose him to carry out a fitting send off .
    Because of my late husband's love of Manchester United Tim and his team all wore red ties , Manchester Utd lapel pins and red rose buttonholes Tim giving his lapel pin and buttonhole to our young grandson after the funeral... A small gesture but it meant so much to him . The funeral courtage drove past Rider House nursing home where my husband spent the last 2 weeks of his life , Tim got out of the car and stood with head respectfully bowed while staff from the nursing home stood to pay their respects .
    We were guided by Tim through every step of my husband's care in the hands of Parry's team. Tim rang me the evening before the funeral to ask how I was and ask if I had any worries or concerns and to assure me his phone was on 24/7 if I needed to talk ...so much thought and kindness from such a caring young man with so much attention to detail like tissues in the cars , laminated memorial cards with a beautiful poem on the back , even though we had family and friends as our pall bearers Tim still provided his just in case any of ours didn't feel able to manage the task at the last minute...AMAZING
    T J Parry's deserve every award , recognition and accolade the funeral service regulators can bestow on them .
    Keep up your amazing caring work Tim and all of TJ Parry's team .
    I cannot recommend this company highly enough .

  • 5 Rosie Coulton 19th May 2024

    I cannot thank Tim and the team enough for all of their hard work, compassion and kindness in giving my loved one care and a funeral service I am sure they would have been more than happy with. I have been updated every step of the way and the team have been very open with me in all my decisions. I am very happy that I chose Tim Parry as a funeral director, as the team have conducted other family funerals, and we have been very impressed with the service, so I had every confidence in their abilities. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Anne Peace 19th May 2024

    Thank you Tim and all your Staff for the kindness and courtesy you extended during the Arrangements and Funeral of my dear Cousin Sue.
