We have trusted t-Allen to take care of our loved ones before and wouldn’t use anyone else. Michelle and Ashleigh are very caring and understanding and give you all the time you need and the most difficult time. Nothing is a problem, you don’t feel rushed and if you want to visit your loved one in the chapel they are there with you initially then leave you alone and they listen and give hugs when needed xx

Gareth Rose 9th Mar 2026

Couldn’t wish for a more respectful, caring, supportive and professional funeral directors.  Unfortunately I’ve had to use T Allen pretty close together for my dad & then my mum.  It was made very easy & the online obituary is a lovely touch but also comforting to have for the future.  Thanks again.

    I did not hesitate to call on T.Allen Funeral Care when I needed to arrange my partner’s funeral. They oversaw the arrangements for our father’s funeral just the previous year. They are a very kind & professional firm. You really feel they do their best to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. It is a great comfort to know that you are in good hands at a sad & difficult time. I would use T. Allen again

    Thank you so much to everyone at T.Allen for your exceptional service in helping to give our dear dad, grandad and husband the best of send-offs. Without your professionalism and empathy, navigating this path would have been extremely difficult and stressful. Everything went without a hitch and dad would have been very impressed, which in itself is high praise indeed.

  • 5 Debbie Coxon 24th Oct 2025

    T Allen looked after us as a family when our dad died. From the moment we walked in to their office and meet with Ashley and the team we found genuine compassion, sensitivity and professionalism. On the dad of the funeral despite biblical rain the team did an amazing job and gave dad the very best send off. They made the process seamless and as easy as it could be for us as a family at such a difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend T Allen and the team we will always be very grateful for their care and sensitivity.
