  • 5 Janine Beech 17th Feb 2026

    During the most difficult time of my life following the loss of my husband, Warren and the team at J.Parkinsons & Sons showed exceptional care and compassion.
    From our initial contact, they treated us with kindness, dignity, and great professionalism. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and Warren guided us gently through each step of the arrangements, which eased a great deal of stress for our family.
    Their respect for my husband and their genuine support for us will never be forgotten. I am truly grateful for the way they helped us honour his life so beautifully.
    I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing caring and professional support.

    First class service, very professional.   Warren was most  respectful and kind and explained the funeral proceedings very thoroughly.  Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend this family business.

  • 5 Hazel Thorpe 14th Jan 2025

    Well what an amazing experience I had with Parkinson and Sons. From the first meeting with Warren he was so warm kind understanding took us through the process step-by-step, didn’t have to outsource anything. Everything was done in house, from the flowers even a book of condolences and the slideshow in the crematorium. The celebrant  that they used who was recommended to us at Parkinson and sons Craig what’s absolutely outstanding amazing service from start to finish. Jim had the best sendoff anybody could ever wish for in a funeral service. I will definitely recommend them and use them again. 

  • 5 Mark Turner 11th Jan 2025
