    I can’t express how thankful I am to Tim & the team. From the moment I made contact their kindness, support and professionalism was outstanding. 

    My husband passed away abroad and Tim & the team went above and beyond to ensure he was brought back home. They cared for him with such dignity and respect the entire time. 

    This has been one of the most difficult times of my life. Tim listened to everything I wanted and guided me through the whole process. 

    Their attention to detail was perfect. I would highly recommend TJ Parry’s to anyone in need of a funeral service. 

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for helping me give my husband the most beautiful send off he deserved.

  • 5 Sarah Carpenter 31st Aug 2026

    I honestly can’t thank Kirsty, Tim and everyone at TJ Parry enough for the care they showed our family when arranging Mum’s funeral.

    From the very beginning, Kirsty and Tim were incredibly kind, warm and compassionate. Every little detail was taken care of without hesitation, which meant so much at a time when there was already so much to think about.

    It was the small, thoughtful touches that really stayed with us too — the rose and poem placed on Mum’s pillow when they came to take her into their care, and the beautiful wallet cards with the star poem that they gave us after the funeral. Things they didn’t have to do, but which made something incredibly difficult feel that little bit more personal and special.

    On the day of the funeral, Tim guided us through everything so calmly. We never had to wonder what we were supposed to do or second-guess what happened next; he was simply there, quietly making sure everything ran exactly as it should.

    At one of the hardest times of our lives, we felt that Mum was being treated with genuine dignity and care, and that we were being looked after too. We will always be grateful to Kirsty, Tim and the team at TJ Parry for helping us give Mum the send-off she deserved.


    Thank you ❤️

  • 5 Elaine Tasker 4th Aug 2026

    I looked around for a Funeral Director and decided to try these people due to all the great reviews, and am so glad I did. From the beginning and right the way through to the end, nothing was ever too much trouble for them and they did their absolute best to ensure that all parts of the process were warm, friendly and stress-free. Tim in particular was caring, thoughtful and attentive to our needs and ideas. The service was absolutely beautiful and everything we could have hoped for. Everyone who attended thought it was fantastic and so well-done, and I know for sure that mum would have loved it too. Thank you so much, everyone, you’re the best.
