    Right from the start of the process the Staff could not have been more helpful. If there were any hiccups a phonecall soon sorted it.

  • 5 Sarah Rushton 19th Nov 2024

    From the moment we first stepped into the Office, T.Allen looked after our family so well. They provided all we asked for and the day of the funeral went like clockwork. Every aspect was catered for from water in the limousines to a folder containing the cards which came with our flowers. It was lovely to be attended by Mark Allen on the day and the company arranged for family members to act as pall bearers which was greatly appreciated. The whole day was a fitting tribute to my husband Martin. We could not have asked for a better service.

    Everything was very efficiently done with great care.
    We felt immediately in good hands and were very well adviced throughout the process of choices from the beginning to the end. Especially Scott did an amazing Job of coming to see me and was leading me through his very excellent experience to a very special and beautiful Service. The drive to the Medway Crematorium through High Street with the Austin Hearse was so very touching and very well organised. Thanks to Donna who did a wonderful leaflet for us. Michelle and Aslei were so helpful and kind and patient with all our questions and wishes. Thank you T Allen
