  • 5 Janet Farahnak 13th Jan 2024

    I was recommended TJ Parry from a friend who had used them for their parents funeral and said how good they were.
    I found Tim and his team extremely professional on how they handled my husband’s funeral from start to finish and they were also very understanding to myself and my daughter’s emotions.
    They were very prompt in handling any queries we had with extreme efficiency and overall the service and support given was faultless.
    I would not hesitate to recommend them. 
    Thank you again. Janet

    Tim his family and staff made sure that every little detail was attended to and the funeral went as planned making a difficult day go as good as possible. I would defiantly recommend his services and would not hesitate to use him again. 

  • 5 Jane Fleming 26th Dec 2023

    T J Parry supported us through all the arrangements for our Dads funeral. They had all the information that Dad had chosen for our mums funeral 2 years previously and we were able to arrange a service for Dad that we know he would have been happy with. Tim gently reminds you of decisions that you need to make which was great as it seemed so overwhelming at times. Tim also recommended Steve as our celebrant and this was also a fantastic recommendation. Tim guides you through the day and honestly I am not sure we would have had everything in place if it wasn't for Tim and his staff. Its already a difficult time but Tim and the whole of his team at Parrys make it much less stressful. Thank you.

  • 5 Diane Green 22nd Dec 2023

    Tim has been very efficient caring and professional. He ensured the family were well informed throughout this distressing time for us all. He is accepting of all our thoughts and feelings, some very sad others with a giggle. I would be more than happy to recommend his services to anyone who needs a friendly, efficiently professional body at a very emotional time.

    We could not of asked for anything more from them… they’ve been nothing but caring and helpful.
    They helped us give Colin the special day he really deserved… and we will be forever grateful.
    I chose for Colin to be taken to his final resting place by horse drawn carriage… and WOW. Whose horses were just incredible… Tim said he wouldn’t use anyone else as they give nothing but the best care to their horses. Well I could see that… they were magnificent..! So I also thank them and their team for making his final journey in this world so special 💕
