  • 5 Janette Wakenshaw 2nd Nov 2019

    At times of sorrow you need someone who you can trust. Someone who understands how you are feeling and not only takes care of the passing of your loved one but their family too.
    We always felt that our needs were very important and that nothing was too much trouble. No matter how many times we added things or changed our minds, Timothy and his staff, always work hard to make sure everything was just what we wanted and that everything went seamlessly on the day.
    All who were involved in our Mother's passing or attended her funeral, were very moved by the care, compassion and dignity that was shown to her and we her family, felt safe, secure and cared for every step of the way.
    Tim became like a trusted friend and we are all very grateful to him for seeing us through this difficult time.
    We laugh and cried with this remarkable young man, who's attention to detail was always so important and who was always immaculately dressed whenever we called in to see him.
    We do think it is a shame that it is only when you have lost a loved one that you get the privilege of meeting him!

    We wish him and his family every success in business and in life. Thank you so much from all of Noreen Ash's family and friends.


    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you so much Janette, you are such a wonderful family and did mum so proud. Please do pop by for a drink and chat if you feel like it or attend one of our bereavement groups on the last Wednesday of every month. You all remain in my thoughts.

  • 5 Karen Stapley 20th Sep 2019

    From the first phone call I knew instinctively we had made the right choice of Funeral Directors for our Uncle's funeral.

  • 5 Karen Ratcliffe 5th Sep 2019

    Losing my daughter Becky was truely the worst time of my life, but Tim was so kind, caring and considerate and compassionate from the moment we first spoke. He listened and he advised and I truely appreciate his honesty. Everything we asked for he delivered and more. Tim is a wonderful young man who really cares about you and yours and does his absolute 100% best. My daughter loves Nike trainers and Tim was wearing a Nike tick pin badge on the day, wonderful. For us at such a terrible time, we have been left with a positive experience of a beautiful lighthearted and heartwarming celebration of my daughters life and this was down to this wonderful young man and his team.
    I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.. Karen and family x

    I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all my family for your care and attention to detail for Brian.
    Everyone who attended the wake commented on your professionalism and care.
    I have never in my career as a nurse, and in my life met someone so young with such dignity and respect, compassion dedication to detail,  charisma and empathy all rolled into one formidable lovely man.
    His care of my husband was superb.
    The gift of a photo with a beautiful verse to give to family was an end to a perfect send off for my husband and a lasting gift to carry in our purses and wallets.
