Our Uncle's was the third family funeral managed by Parkinson's over the last few years. We have gone back to them repeatedly as they handle things with courtesy, sensitivity and an efficiency such that you know, once you have appointed them everything will go according to plan. Thank you

Mark Orsborn 7th Dec 2025

As a family, we have used Parkinson's for many years and cannot recommend them enough. Warren and team are attentive and caring, making it very easy to organise the whole process. Their cars and hearse are also brand new and very smart. Highly recommended and wouldn't use anyone else.

Excellent service, and looked after from start to finish

    We can’t thank J Parkinson & Sons Funeral Directors enough for the care and support they gave our family. They were compassionate, professional, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything was handled perfectly and with such respect. As a family, we’re so grateful and extremely pleased with the service we received.

  • 5 Philip Jones 31st Jul 2025

    I cannot speak highly enough about the excellence with which Warren and his team displayed.
    At all points from the first meeting, to dealing with enquiries, liasing with all the relevant agencies, nothing was too much trouble. All responses were prompt and the advice given led to Dad having the perfect send off. I had used Parkinsons last year following the death of my Uncle and so knew I would not be making anything other than the right choice for Dad. 
    I would wholeheartedly recommend J Parkinson’s and thank them for their dedication and professionalism.

  • 5 Helen Richards 1st Jul 2025

    The service from Parkinsons was excellent from the minute I walked tentatively into the office through to the funeral service itself. Both the funeral director, Warren and the celebrant ,Craig listened to my needs and delivered exactly what I wanted with reverence, respect and kindness. They made everything seem so much easier at this difficult time. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Parkinsons. Thank you.
