    T.j. Parry’s were amazing , they made everything easy on such a sad day. They were there every step of the way and what a wonderful young man TJ is. They were kind and thoughtful from the moment we met them I can’t recommend them enough. Everything was perfect on the day. 

  • 5 Lynda Savill 18th Jun 2023

    From making the first phone call to arrange my brother's funeral Tim and his team couldn't have been more attentive, professional and empathetic throughout.

    Cannot say enough good things about TJ Parry funeral directors they were so kind and sensitive to all our needs and extremely kind and professional in everything they did for my late father, I would definitely recommend to anyone 

  • 5 Ian Gutberlet 4th Jun 2023

    We are so pleased we chose TJParry"s as funeral directors for my mum. They are so professional in everything they do. Nothing is too much trouble for Tim and the team. Their attention to detail and making sure we were kept fully informed prior to the funeral and on the day was fantastic. Tim is a very young owner of his business, but do not let this put you off. He is brilliant.

  • 5 Amanda Gregson 23rd May 2023

    Words aren’t enough to give this family business a brilliant review!
    From the Very 1st phone call and speaking to Barbra about arranging to come and see Tim about my nans funeral to meeting Tim himself and going through what we would like for nan.

    Tim was so compassionate caring and professional especially with us never having organised a funeral before and with nans passing very sudden he made us feel very comforted and cared for. 
    Tim did everything and a lot more for us and made my nan look so beautiful in her shroud and so peaceful in their lovely chapel of rest. Her seagrass coffin was out of this world and exactly what we wanted.  
    Tim listened and took all our needs, wishes and concerns into consideration and nothing was ever too much trouble. We was welcomed with open arms to see nan as many times as we wished and all the team were so compassionate and caring when we visited. 
    The day of the funeral arrived and Tim called to check me and my mum were ok and asked how we were feeling….we were nervous obviously but Tim reassured us everything was well taken care of and he will be there for us every step of the way…..and true to his word he was! The hearse and limo funeral car were beautiful even down to the little touches of small packs of tissues in the car doors for us! He made an exceptionally hard day run very smoothly and very touching and heartfelt throughout…..he wore a little Shamrock pin in memory of nan and as much as other people didn’t notice it or that probably didn’t seem much to some to me and my mum it absolutely meant the world as he made us feel like the most important people on that day were my beautiful nan myself and my mum and as a family we can’t thank Tim and his team enough!! 
    We have definitely been recommending T J Parry & family and will continue to do so. Also a big thank you for our lovely card gifts as that poem was the first poem I had personally picked out myself after nan had passed away so it was very touching. Please please carry on with how you do things as we will forever be grateful. 
    Thank you again

  • 5 Janet Bailey 29th Mar 2023

    If I searched forever I could not find a better Funeral Director than Tim Parry of TJ Parry and Family.
    Everyone, especially Tim, is so caring, friendly and professional.
    No small detail is overlooked even down to the men wearing ties of your chosen colour.
    The vehicles are a beautiful silver grey, so unusual and so fitting.
    I can not find even the tiniest fault anywhere in their company and their handing of this funeral.

    We can't speak highly enough of TJ Parry's. During the most difficult of times for our family, they were the ultimate professionals but more importantly showed the utmost empathy throughout.

    It goes without saying, that we would highly recommend them to anybody who is unfortunate enough to be dealing with loss of a loved one.

    Thank you Tim and all the team for all that you did for us.

  • 5 Brian Jones 11th Feb 2023

    We as a family would like to thank Tim and his team for the flawless handling of my Wife and our Mum's funeral after she passed away unexpectedly on New Year's Day. We all felt that we were treated with love, kindness and respect during an incredibly difficult time and knew that our loved one would be in safe hands. The way Tim and the team arranged everything from flowers, celebrant and the gathering after the funeral really streamlined the process and made it as straightforward as possible. Nothing was a bother for Tim which meant that the family, my Wife and our Mum's wishes were respected. We would highly recommend T J Parry to any one.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you for the lovely review Brian, its been our honour.

  • 5 Gail Hiscock 6th Jan 2023

    I cannot recommend Tim and his team highly enough. A sad and difficult time was made easier by such a thoughtful and caring team. Nothing was too much trouble and attention was paid to every detail of the day. From my first phone call after my husband passed to the funeral itself, I was guided and supported throughout. A truly professional team and Tim genuinely cares that your loved one is looked after. My family and myself cannot thank Tim enough for all he did to help us to celebrate the life of a wonderful man. You are beyond doubt exceptional at what you do.
