T Allen made a very sad and stressful time so much easier with their professional yet sympathetic manner. From the first day of contacting them, on the actual day of the funeral and even afterwards they kept in touch and made sure that everything went smoothly for us. As a family we are very grateful to them and thank them for their kindness and support at such a difficult time.

    From the initial point of contact until completion of the day itself, the staff were compassionate, understanding and unbelievably professional. They would ring to make sure we were okay during the build up to the day, helped with other contacts and on the day itself even called to let us know the flowers etc had all arrived. The staff who made up the funeral procession were kind, extremely courteous and respectful.

When seeing my father in the chapel of rest, Glenys was very supportive and made sure we knew what to expect, she was very open and honest. I could not imagine using another funeral directors. The gentlemen on the day were also absolutely amazing. They were patient, kind and supportive. They were beyond professional. Thank you all at T Allen.

    I was extremely happy with the support that I received from everyone - one brief conversation and they quickly and quietly started to make all the arrangements for me. At the meeting with them to finalise the details it was made as easy as possible for me and they continued to support and check in with me. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
