Make the whole process a lot less painful.

Tina Clifford 1st Nov 2022

Losing someone that you love is hard enough without thinking about the funeral arrangements. From the minute we walked into their Twydall office to saying goodbye to our dear mum, T Allen made everything so stress free. They took care of everything from listening and completing a fab eulogy, looking after mum in the chapel of rest to the day of the service. Making sure that she arrived safely. Nothing was ever too much of an issue, helped set up a just giving page as well as be on hand to assist no matter what it was. Communicated everything as we went along making sure that it was what we wanted. The service that they arranged was beyond what we could have imaged. After service included. They made you feel like family. I would say to anyone that loses someone, T Allen is the place to go for your funeral plans. Thank you all for making our dear mum's day, a day that she would have been proud off. A lovely send off. Thank you all so much for everything. Truly a memorable day. Tina, Tony & John

    I have known and worked with (in a different capacity) T Allen Funeral Service for some years and knew the late Terry Allen and family quite well. Several earlier family funerals were conducted by T Allen, including my son's just six months ago.
    T Allen are very easy to work with, they put you at ease despite the stress of arranging the funeral of a loved one. In my case, my son and dear wife within six months! In both of my recent devastating losses, I couldn't fault T Allen Funeral Service in any way. Thank you Liz and colleagues.

    T Allen have been fabulous caring, helpful and guiding at a very, very difficult time. My first experience of planning a funeral and I couldn’t of picked a better team to be by my side.

  • 5 Jason Cakebread 12th Apr 2022

    T Allen were very professional from the start, during the initial meeting we were made to feel at ease and the whole process was explained in detail. The day of the funeral couldn't have gone any better, considering how difficult the day was for us T Allen made the day so much easier, they were very professional and attended to our every need, not only explaining what was going on but asking our thoughts on what we wanted.
    Thank you so much guys.

  • 5 Jacqueline Mitchell 14th Feb 2022

    I cannot recommend T Allen Funeral Directors highly enough. My dad's funeral was everything we would wish for. Dad was treated with dignity and respect. Everything was explained clearly throughout the whole process. Liz in particular was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for everything you did for us.

  • 5 David Ford 5th Feb 2022

    We were recommended T Allen’s through a friend who had used them a few months ago, and I can see why. A caring family run business, who give that personal touch and help through a difficult time. On the day of the funeral, I can’t thank Mark and his team enough for the service they provided. Absolutely faultless. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.  Thank you.

  • 5 Raymond Heath 10th Aug 2021

    The overall service provided by M.J. Allen was excellent from collection of Susan to the comital at the Crematorium. The Minister selected by M.J.Allen was understanding and very willing to comply to our wishes and aspirations. All the family agreed that M. J.Allen  provided a professional service including the service at the crematorium which was faultless from start to finish. I would recommend MJ.Allen.

  • 5 Paul Butcher 24th Feb 2021

    The staff at T Allen's were professional and caring throughout our dealings with them for our mother's funeral, a task made even harder for them due to covid 19.
    The ladies in the office could not have done more regarding the actual arrangements and their staff on the day showed total respect to not only my mother but us as a family.
