Tony Tonelli 13th Nov 2022

Could not fault the care and attention to detail, and the caring way the funeral was conducted.

Matthew Solari 5th Oct 2022

Professional, thoughtful and attentive from start to finish. They made such a painful time far more bearable. Their level of expertise and effort meant that we were free to grieve and be there for each other rather than having to organise a funeral.

    Dawn, James and Sarah thank you.  Your discreet professionalism across all aspects of arranging and holding a funeral was much appreciated and was of great support to the family.   I cant thank you enough for all that you did.

  • 5 Reg Nettleton 19th Jul 2022

    Very professional service from Albert Parr. Communication excellent, particularly from Dawn.

  • 5 Sam Price 2nd Jul 2022

    From the minute we made the first call nothing was too much trouble. Sarah and Dawn in the office, then James and his team on the day of the funeral - all of you were professional and dignified. Dad looked so peaceful when we visited, giving us strength to know he was in such caring hands. All the arrangements were made behind the scenes without any stress for us which was so important. On the day of the funeral everything went perfectly. Would absolutely recommend your services to anyone and everyone. Cannot thank you enough. The Ayling family. 

  • 5 Gillian Malton 29th Mar 2022

    Excellent service from one of the few remaining independent family run business left serving the local community. Dawn & James have a wealth of knowledge in this line of work and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.
    I would also highly recommend celebrants May Andrews and Sacha Ansell for their amazing compassionate work in writing and delivering the service.
    10 out of 10 all round.

    From the first contact with Dawn at Albert Parr to the end of Mum’s funeral, everything was handled perfectly; sensitively, with kindness & dignity. Mum’s service was beautiful, so personal & her order of service looked amazing. Albert Parr couldn’t have done more to help us at such a difficult time; always efficient, knowledgeable & caring. 

  • 5 Rebecca Thorne 1st Feb 2022

    From the moment I walked into the offices in Elmers End following my Dad's passing Dawn put me at ease and guided me through the whole process of planning the funeral, something I had never had to do before and found completely overwhelming. Alan the conductor on the day was so lovely and again put me at ease with what was happening at every step on the day of the funeral. The celebrant , May Andrews who Dawn put me in contact with put together such a lovely service. My Dad had the most beautiful send off he so deserved. Thanks so much x

    I’ve had to plan 2 services recently , the support I received from everyone at Albert Parr made the experience a lot easier. They went above and beyond what I was expecting, they provided excellent service with a personal touch. I felt I could ask them anything at anytime. They are an amazing team and there are not enough words to thank them for everything they did for my family

  • 5 Chris Smith 3rd Aug 2021

    Albert Parr are a tremendous team and supported our family from the moment of our fathers passing through all the arrangements and the day of the funeral and aftercare. A very nice company and we are so lucky we had them to give us a very personal and fitting tribute to our father and helped us make informed choices at each step. Thank you to all the team behind the scenes that we never met or had the chance to thank personally - we know you were there. A special thanks to James and his team for taking my father with such style on the night and looking after him, and a big thank you to Sarah who was basically a Star all the way through and organised every thing perfectly. Additionally our celebrant via Albert Parr was Michelle Harvey - words cannot say enough. So fitting. Thank You.
    Chris, Nick & Joyce
