    Warren and his team provided an exceptional service, nothing was too much trouble. From the very beginning our Dad was treated with great care and respect which provided reassurance and comfort to our mum.  The team were friendly, informative, never pushy and always on hand to guide us through the planning process under difficult circumstances. We would definitely recommend J Parkinson & Sons funeral services.  Thank you to all your team particularly Warren Tyler not only for taking care of our Dad but for taking care of us too.  Forever grateful

    I would recommend J Parkinson and sons to anyone, we were treated with the utmost respect and all our wishes were fulfilled. Mums funeral service by them was of the highest standard.

  • 5 Susan Dodd 24th Dec 2018

    From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. The added bonus of having a Facebook page for people to leave messages about your departed really helps with the grieving process. 
    The time they put into making your loved ones day special is second to none.  Could not fault them.  Would use again but hopefully not too soon xx
