T J Parry proved themselves very professional and sympathetic  in the way they handled our distressing situation of losing a loved one. From collecting the deceased in a respectful manner to making the funeral arrangements including the selection of a  very nice sea grass coffin to liaising with the vicar making sure we got the funeral our loved one wanted. 

Tracy Wright 24th Sep 2023

From start to finish, an absolutely impeccable service. Every member of staff we encountered were polite, respectful and courteous. Every detail was dealt with, nothing missed. The professionalism of the whole team was incredible and we would like to thank each and every one of them for making a very difficult time as easy as possible. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services. Thank Tim and all your team.

  • 5 Karen Dennis 8th Aug 2023

    From the moment we met Tim we felt totally confident that our loved one was going to be cared for in the final stages of his journey.
    Tim and Rachel were utterly kind, caring and professional throughout and nothing was too much trouble for them.
    The actual funeral was quite beautifully arranged by them affording both my late partner and ourselves respect and dignity.
    I simply can't thank them enough for providing us with such wonderful support and easing our pain at what has been such a difficult time.
    I would unreservedly recommend Tim and his team.

    My family and I cannot thank Tim, Rachael and the team at Parry’s enough.  From the moment we contacted them in the early hours to my late sisters farewell service and beyond, they were professional, empathetic and attentive whilst giving a first class personal service.  Tim, please accept my heartfelt thanks at guiding me through those first stages, helping me through various decisions, from Angie’s stunning ‘fields of daffodils’ casket to arranging the video link, so family far from home could be a part of this.  Rachael, may I also personally thank you for our visit to your chapel of rest and your understanding.  It was much appreciated by us all.  I would recommend T J Parry to all and I wish you all the very best - don’t ever change, you were wonderful, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5 Ian Gutberlet 4th Jun 2023

    We are so pleased we chose TJParry"s as funeral directors for my mum. They are so professional in everything they do. Nothing is too much trouble for Tim and the team. Their attention to detail and making sure we were kept fully informed prior to the funeral and on the day was fantastic. Tim is a very young owner of his business, but do not let this put you off. He is brilliant.

  • 5 Amanda Gregson 23rd May 2023

    Words aren’t enough to give this family business a brilliant review!
    From the Very 1st phone call and speaking to Barbra about arranging to come and see Tim about my nans funeral to meeting Tim himself and going through what we would like for nan.

    Tim was so compassionate caring and professional especially with us never having organised a funeral before and with nans passing very sudden he made us feel very comforted and cared for. 
    Tim did everything and a lot more for us and made my nan look so beautiful in her shroud and so peaceful in their lovely chapel of rest. Her seagrass coffin was out of this world and exactly what we wanted.  
    Tim listened and took all our needs, wishes and concerns into consideration and nothing was ever too much trouble. We was welcomed with open arms to see nan as many times as we wished and all the team were so compassionate and caring when we visited. 
    The day of the funeral arrived and Tim called to check me and my mum were ok and asked how we were feeling….we were nervous obviously but Tim reassured us everything was well taken care of and he will be there for us every step of the way…..and true to his word he was! The hearse and limo funeral car were beautiful even down to the little touches of small packs of tissues in the car doors for us! He made an exceptionally hard day run very smoothly and very touching and heartfelt throughout…..he wore a little Shamrock pin in memory of nan and as much as other people didn’t notice it or that probably didn’t seem much to some to me and my mum it absolutely meant the world as he made us feel like the most important people on that day were my beautiful nan myself and my mum and as a family we can’t thank Tim and his team enough!! 
    We have definitely been recommending T J Parry & family and will continue to do so. Also a big thank you for our lovely card gifts as that poem was the first poem I had personally picked out myself after nan had passed away so it was very touching. Please please carry on with how you do things as we will forever be grateful. 
    Thank you again
