  • 5 Phil Joyce 5th Aug 2020

    We recently lost my Mum unexpectedly and therefore we were in a state of total shock & grief, unprepared for then having to address the practical challenges of organising a funeral. Tim Parry, owner of T J Parry was recommended to us. It has turned out to be very fortuitous for us. Tim has dealt with the whole process personally, all our contact has been with him. All the way through Tim has shown great empathy and understanding of what we, as a family are going through. He has guided us through gently, but is very organised and efficient.

    On the day of Mum's funeral, all the planning came to fruition to provide my lovely Mum with the beautiful and poignant goodbye. Tim and his team were, helpful, organised but unobtrusive. They provided the correct sense of occasion and respect that such events require.

    As a truly independent, family run funeral directors, I would thoroughly recommend T J Parry. Providing all the personal, thoughtful touches the large corporate funeral directors, in my experience, do not.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you so much for the Review Phil, it was our honour to provide the service too you and to take mum on her final journey.

    Take care. Tim
  • 5 Julie and Arthur Ashmore 9th Jul 2020

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you both for taking the time to leave a review and thank you for entrusting us, its been an honour.

  • 5 Debbie Ward 22nd May 2020













    Tim & his family made dads final journey perfect. It was truly magical. Everyone  commented on the professionalism throughout. 
    They were so genuinely caring. Looking after mum and I from start to finish. Even in the COVID pandemic meaning limited numbers were allowed at dads funeral it never once felt like it made a difference to the outstanding service we received. I knew when I picked Tim it was the best decision. Dad was in the best care possible. 
    Nothing was too much trouble and we cannot thank Tim and his family enough. We will always be externally grateful for helping us turn the most heartbreaking time of our life’s into a perfect tribute & celebration of dads life. 
    Thank you Tim from the bottom of our hearts 💙
