  • 5 Sarah Earley 3rd Nov 2023

    We had no plans in place when our mum passed away, we made one call and Tim answered and was absolutely amazing from that moment.When they came out to collect our mum he was so kind and gentle in the way he spoke to us as a family, we was given as much time as we needed with mum before she left the family home, when we went back in our mums bed was made and left with a flower on her bed, this made things much easier as a family to see.The last four weeks of mum being with TJparry, she was treated with so much dignity and respect as so we’re we as a family, nothing was to much trouble at all. And as for the funeral, it was absolutely perfect in every way possible. We don’t have enough words to say how happy and thankful we are to Tim for the most perfect day, you did our mum proud so thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    We can't thank Tim and his wonderful team enough. From the very first time we nervously walked in to meet them we were made to feel so at ease and comfortable.

    From the moment we met Tim we felt totally confident that our loved one was going to be cared for in the final stages of his journey.
    Tim and Rachel were utterly kind, caring and professional throughout and nothing was too much trouble for them.
    The actual funeral was quite beautifully arranged by them affording both my late partner and ourselves respect and dignity.

    My family and I cannot thank Tim, Rachael and the team at Parry’s enough.  From the moment we contacted them in the early hours to my late sisters farewell service and beyond, they were professional, empathetic and attentive whilst giving a first class personal service.  Tim, please accept my heartfelt thanks at guiding me through those first stages, helping me through various decisions, from Angie’s stunning ‘fields of daffodils’ casket to arranging the video link, so family far from home could be a part of this.  Rachael, may I also personally thank you for our visit to your chapel of rest and your understanding.  It was much appreciated by us all.  I would recommend T J Parry to all and I wish you all the very best - don’t ever change, you were wonderful, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
