I cannot rate T. Allen funeral services high enough.  From beginning to end, all staff were amazing.  My family were treated with empathy throughout the whole process and felt comforted by the kind words of staff whilst guiding us through the arrangements for my father.  The undertakers and driver were extremely professional on the day of the funeral and my father was treated with completed dignity.  The life celebrant arranged by T. Allen made the day run smoothly and my father’s send off, whilst upsetting, could not have gone better.  Thank you to all at T. Allen and the life celebrant they arranged.

    T. Allen were caring from the moment we contacted them. I can not praise them enough for the help and support they gave us as a family 

  • 5 Stuart Barham 4th May 2021

    Could not fault the funeral service at all, they showed so much respect to my late wife and all of the family. 
    Thank you all so so much.

  • 5 Faye Howlett 3rd May 2021

    A truly respectful, seamless, highly professional service. All staff were impeccable and very polite, helping with our every need and making the funeral itself really special and memorable for our late Mum. From the very beginning making arrangements to dropping our family back home from the crematorium, we couldn’t fault anything. Thank you so much for making a very difficult day one which we can look back on with a warm heart. 

  • 5 Emma Armstrong 1st May 2021

    So happy with my dads funeral couldn’t off asked for a better funeral home to taken care off my dad  and are very helpful with information that I needed thank you for all your hard work 

  • 4 Vaughan Clark 13th Apr 2021

    I would suggest you give the following detail to a new client:
    email and telephone contact, to 1) Glenys 2) Richard Scott 3) Celebrant 4) Obitus 5) Donna 6) Robert Jacobs. As Glenys advised me...keep a separate file for each to avoid confusion. At the first instance I had Richard Scott and Scott Lowe emailing me and I was very suspicious about dealing with them, especially as I was in a confused, bereaved situation. As you have no bell or intercom on your front door, then leave a telephone number there, for the public to reach you. I came without an appointment, with Order of Service and £4,035 payment. There is no contact on the front door. What if I am a new customer wanting your services...the initial impression is not good. Otherwise, once I understood what I should be doing... Glenys and Sarah were very helpful and led me through a very complicated process. Admittedly, looking at dog picture coffins did not help. In the beginning, I thought I had plenty of time but surprisingly the time soon goes and I found myself sorting Order of Service, Eulogy, Printing in the last few days. Donna was excellent, as were those employees there on the day. You asked me for a review and I hope my comments are taken in the favourable spirit, given. Vaughan Clark

  • 5 Jan Luxton 13th Apr 2021

    Everyone we spoke to and met was very professional and kind. It was a very difficult time for us but they provided the help and support we needed to give our mum a fitting farewell.

  • 5 Ruth Herbert 23rd Mar 2021

    From the very first contact with Glenys everything was done to make such a difficult time as straightforward as possible. Glenys phoned a couple of times just to check if I was coping and to ask if I needed anything. On the day, the Gentlemen that came were caring and respectful to us all. I felt they treated my husband with dignity and respect on his last journey. A heartfelt thanks to the team. Ruth
