We can’t thank Sophie enough for supporting us through a very difficult few weeks.  At a time when our thoughts were all over the place, Sophie guided us in a calm yet cheerful way.  It helped us to cope knowing Sophie was looking after dad with great care and respect.  On the day of the funeral T Allen were very professional yet sympathetic and respectful.

  • 5 Marianne Luckhurst 27th Dec 2021

    I used T Allen for my father’s funeral in 2017 as well. Everything was perfect on both occasions. Nothing is too much trouble and so highly professional.  From the collection of the body to the actual day of the funeral they have been in contact and helped me organise the perfect send off. I cannot thank you all enough - Liz in the office in 2017 and Sophie this time plus of course the gentlemen on the actual day. Thank you all most sincerely you made the lowest time of my life bearable.

    T Allen’s were amazing. Everything we asked for was no trouble at all. We asked for a flag as my father was an ex-serviceman, they arranged a full service complete with standard bearer.

    They had a lovely one-to-one personal service. 

    I would recommend them.

    From planning the funeral right up until we were taken to the wake, all of the staff were incredibly professional yet personal. They made an extremely sad situation much easier than we could have imagined. They were all kind, friendly and down to earth. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt well cared for. I would definitely recommend T Allens. Liz and Mark deserve a mention as they were our main point of call. Both helped to give my dad the send off he wanted and deserved.

  • 5 Lauren Stubbins 11th Feb 2018

    Thank you to all at TAllen for making such a difficult time that little bit easier by providing such a wonderful service. From the first contact meeting Liz at TAllen Rainham she made us feel at ease and was incredibly kind, understanding and helpful she made the planning process easier clearer and supported us all the way. Most importantly she said we could visit Mum as often as we wanted whilst she was in the chapel of rest and when we did visit we weren’t rushed and had the time we felt we needed. The day of Mums funeral was made that little bit easier as everything was taken care of and we were kindly guided through the process. The gentlemen who took Mum and us to her service were incredibly considerate, polite and respectful. The level of respect Shown in Mums final journey was very moving and much appreciated. Sincere thanks to all for the wonderful service.
