  • 5 Sarah Davies 3rd Aug 2025

    T. Allen Funeral Directors provided outstanding service for my father's funeral. Rita was a standout—her caring and friendly demeanor made her a fantastic point of contact for any questions we had. On the day of the funeral, the staff was extremely respectful and handled every detail with care. We were especially touched that they accommodated our family's wish for my sons and our husbands to help carry my dad's casket. Their willingness to honor our personal requests was deeply appreciated and helped us give my dad the farewell he deserved

  • 5 Elaine Robinson 30th Jun 2025

    Rita and Sarah were so caring, patient, helpful. Wonderful service. The drivers, Pall bearers were very respectful too. I am so pleased with all that you did for me and Rex.
    The Chapel is perfect for saying last goodbyes. I will certainly recommend you. X

  • 5 Avis Ryder 25th May 2025

    From first contact with the office to the final phase I was so pleased with the service I received. The ladies in the office sorted all my paperwork out as I didn't live near. They kept me informed through the process and recommended places to get flowers and booklets. The lovely guys who attended with the hearse were respectful, sympathetic and kind, and I felt valued.
    I have no issues in recommending this company.

  • 5 Tony Cannon 12th May 2025

    T Allen dealt with the arrangements for my late mother.  I would like to give a special mention to Rita from T Allen who was quite honestly amazing. Professional, so friendly and nothing was too much trouble.  I would have no hesitation in recommending T Allen.

  • 5 Deborah Parmenter 24th Mar 2025

    From the moment we walked in the door to make and enquiry we were taken care of, no question was too silly and everything was clearly explained. Rita and Michelle at Twydall were amazing leading up to the day even checking in to make sure we were okay.

    Highly recommend their services and won't hesitate to choose them again when needed.

  • 5 Neil Brown 10th Feb 2025

    Thank you to everyone at T Allen for helping our family with the arrangements during our time of grief. I cannot commend high enough praise in their professionalism and compassion during this time. Thank you to Rita and Liz in our initial meetings, and to Mark and his team on the actual day.

  • 5 Alan Pound 18th Jan 2025

  • 5 Kim Martin 12th Jan 2025

    During a very difficult time losing my son to awful circumstances, both Rita and Liz showed compassion and fully supported our situation.
    They were genuine, kept in contact with anything I needed to be aware of, made sure I got the time I needed to say goodbye to my son.

  • 5 Mr Peter Bailey 21st Nov 2024

    Exceptionally caring, sympathetic, helpful and respectful.
    Nothing was too much trouble from the initial meeting to the actual funeral. 

  • 5 Nicola Lucas 18th Nov 2024

    All the staff were supportive, kept in touch with all the arrangements. Not at all pushy about their products, went through the arrangements on more than one occasion, which I found reassuring, we changed our minds on one or two things, and that was no problem.
    Our journey to and from the crematorium was respectful, and what was a nice touch a small packet of tissues was on the main family chairs.
    It was a stressful time, with their support it was made easier.
    Thank you

  • 5 Angela Large 12th Nov 2024

    Sadly we lost our Mum & Dad within 5months of each other. When Dad passed away on 28th Sep, we gladly used T Allen again.
    It's the way in which they manage the admin around a funeral effectively and respectfully. Not an easy job but one they deliver so so well.

    Really deserved 5* excellent rating.

  • 5 Julie Taylor 7th Oct 2024

    Took the worries away from us by the family saying what we wanted & them delivering without no problems. Excellent service on the day too. Julie
