T. Allen provided an excellent service. They were caring, understanding, helpful & respectful if I could give them six stars I would.

Helen Walker 3rd Feb 2023

Very professional but genuinely caring throughout 

Glynis Buckingham 29th Jan 2023

Think we picked the best company we could have. Everything was perfect.  Kind and compassionate in every way. And all the little touches. Tissue on our seats . Saying may each tear be wiped away by each found memory meant to do much.

  • 5 Lesley Caswell 31st Dec 2022

    From the moment we walked into the Strood branch, we knew who we were going to go with. Nothing was too much trouble. A special thanks to Glenys with whome we dealt with the most and the men on tha day who were more than prepared to sort out a little hiccup but instead gave me the strengthto be a bigger person. Everything we wanted was done and more. The dressing in own clothes, personal items in the coffin, the presentation and viewing in the chapel (little things such as lace veil and flowers on the coffin).
    On the actual day I didn't have to think about a thing. The presentation of the left over orders of service was simple and stunning. The plastic wallet containing the tribute cards from the flowers so they can be kept. When I was presented with a single rose from the coffin spray it left me speechless (in a good way). The compassion, the empathy, the professionalism was 200%. For all of this I was expecting to pay considerably more than we did. Value for money doesn't really come into it when you are saying goodbye to a loved, but it was very reasonably priced. I could say so much more but I would more than recommend T. Allen Funeral Service. 5 🌟 aren't enough.

  • 5 Peter Ives 9th Dec 2022

    The arrangements were perfect and everyone was so caring and helpful.

  • 5 Glen Braidwood 5th Dec 2022

    From the very start of carrying out Derek's funeral wishes, the staff at T Allen were superb. Glenys, with whom we had the majority of dealings, was so compassionate, helpful and kind. She went the extra mile to make sure that everything was explained and carried out as she said it would be. On the day, Matthew, who looked after the family, was highly professional yet compassionate, as were all the gentlemen. He made Derek's wife and daughters feel that Derek was still being cared for.
    All the staff we met were, without exception, caring and thoughtful. They all truly looked after Derek and his family in a most special way. Glenys also introduced us to Louise Rogers, the celebrant who conducted Derek's service beautifully. A very difficult time was made a little easier to bear with all the kindness and support we received from all those mentioned. Thank you.

    Always so helpful through very stressful times. Everything done as discussed. Thank you from all of us.

  • 5 Paul Traynier 13th Feb 2022

    T.Allen funeral services are quite simply the best. Unfortunately for us we have now used them a few times and every time they have shown genuine care, compassion and sincerity. Nothing is too much trouble and they strive to make the process as easy as possible in a time that is very difficult and emotionally draining. My mother was a very special lady and she deserved a very special service and that was exactly what we got. Thank you to all the staff, especially Glenys for everything you did for us and my mum.
