    I cannot praise Tim and his team to much for the very efficient way they handled all aspects of the funeral.

    From first sitting down with Tim he put us at ease and we knew that we did not need to look any further for a funeral director or worry regarding any of the arrangements.

    Would certainly recommend T.J Parry to anyone in the future.

    Many Thanks to all at T.J Parry

  • 5 Brian Pountney 27th Feb 2021

    This was the first time that I had to arrange a funeral and it was important to me that everything was done correctly and as my wife Jean would have expected it to be. From the first meeting that I had with Tim Parry I was confident that I had chosen the right people to make the arrangements and I knew that I could rely on them to do what I asked of them.
    Tim and his team kept me informed of developments of the funeral plan from original meeting to the cremation.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending TJ Parry and family funeral directors to anyone needing to make funeral arrangements.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Brian, and most of all thank you for entrusting us, its been an honour. Take care.
