    TJ Parrys, are an exceptional funeral directors, being a young widow, I didn't know what to expect but they'd dealt with my father's funeral so well I didn't hesitate to call them when my dear wife passed away. What I realised is that they have so much range, what I mean by this is I had two totally different but exceptional experiences, one tailored for a older gentleman my dad and one for my wife a young, too young lady. Tim and his team operate with impeccable decorum from the moment they pick up you loved one, from home in my case, they treat your loved one as if their still alive and with the upmost respect and dignity. The cars the Chapel of rest the coordination of the event were all just seemless and the price is also so reasonable. They care they really, really care. Saying goodbye is your last act for you loved when and you want to get it right, they helped me and my family do that on both occasions. Thank you for helping me say goodbye to my lovely wife and mother x

    We were nervous and venerable at such a difficult time. Tim and his team were superb. They reassured us and kept us informed of all the parts that go to make up a funeral. The end result was a fantastic send off for my mum. We look Bach and are warmed by the warmth and respect shown to my mum and us. 

  • 5 Mark Temple 16th Dec 2022

    I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided by Timothy and his team at TJ Parry. From the minute I walked through the door of their offices in Burton I felt such a fantastic feeling of care and understanding from this first class Funeral Directors.

    The service provided was superb and Timothy kept me informed at all stages when arranging my wife Rita's funeral with the upmost care and consideration at all times.

    The attention to detail exceptional and this made this difficult time for my family and myself a little easier knowing we were in the hands of a first class Funeral Director.

    Tim and his Team gave an immaculate and exceptional service throughout, kind and caring, thoughtful to our wishes and could not have been more understanding. Any anxiety we had on the day was soon dispelled as Tim explained everything at the different stages and in great detail. There was an atmosphere of peace, love and caring thoughts of Neil as the Service was conducted by our Celebrant, Steve. The Celebration of Neil's life was well received by our family and friends which we found a great comfort.

    Our sincere thanks to all those concerned making this a special day for us all.

  • 5 Diane Orgill 26th Sep 2022

    Timothy and his team are fantastic. I have had a very difficult year where both my mother (very suddenly) and my father both passed. Tim and his team dealt with everything and made a very difficult time that much easier to bear with both their professionalism and care. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • 5 June Aspinall 21st Sep 2022

    On losing a loved one, Tim and his team quietly step in to hold your hand, guide and advise with the upmost of professionalism at all times. From the moment of meeting late at night, care, attention to detail and compassion were given and I personally found it very comforting to know another family were now caring for Mum.
    Nothing was too much trouble & Tim's ability to give advice with tact and diplomacy was invaluable.  
    I would have no hesitation in recommending T J Parry & Family Funeral Directors on either a personal or professional basis, as his clear, concise information and funeral plans will suit all sectors of the community whether looking for an elaborate or more budget friendly funeral as some organisations may be profit focussed as opposed to quality orientated. I also thought the website was very good, with lots of practical information for people unsure on what to do when a loved one has died.
    Absolute excellence Tim _ thank you from June's family to yours, for all services and care given: Always one who liked to look her best June would have loved the smart attire and your fabulous fleet of cars. 

  • 5 Donna Dunn 20th Sep 2022

    From start to finish, exceptional, professional & personal service. Throughout the whole time nothing was to much trouble, as a family we felt listened to, respected & cared for. We felt Tim exemplified what a funeral directors role is. His passion, actions, demonstrated that he cared for our mum as much as we did whilst she was in his care. Very competitively priced too. Was impressed beyond words. Highly recommend his services. 5* 

  • 5 Steven Rose 8th Sep 2022

    Tim and his colleagues were fantastic. From start to finish, they looked after my dad with care and dignity. They looked after us as a family after my dad's passing. Nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5 Nicky Luke 4th Aug 2022

    An exceptional and professional service.

    Dad was a retired firefighter and a fitting tribute to his years of service to the community was arranged and co-ordinated by Tim and his team and we could not have wished for a better send off for our dad. The memorial cards given after the service for members of the family to cherish is a lovely gesture and demonstrates the thought and care that are provided to the bereaved when they lose a loved one. Many thanks for the attention to detail and the wonderful service that was given to us all in our time of grief.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you Nicky, its been our honour.
  • 5 Deborah Mills 31st Jul 2022

    Can’t praise TJ Parry enough.  The service they gave us was excellent from the moment they took mum into their care right through to looking after us at the crematorium.  I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
