  • 5 Karen Ratcliffe 5th Sep 2019

    Losing my daughter Becky was truely the worst time of my life, but Tim was so kind, caring and considerate and compassionate from the moment we first spoke. He listened and he advised and I truely appreciate his honesty. Everything we asked for he delivered and more. Tim is a wonderful young man who really cares about you and yours and does his absolute 100% best. My daughter loves Nike trainers and Tim was wearing a Nike tick pin badge on the day, wonderful. For us at such a terrible time, we have been left with a positive experience of a beautiful lighthearted and heartwarming celebration of my daughters life and this was down to this wonderful young man and his team.
    I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.. Karen and family x

    TIm and staff at TJ Parry funeral Directors.
    I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all my family for your care and attention to detail for Brian.
    Everyone who attended the wake commented on your professionalism and care.
    I have never in my career as a nurse, and in my life met someone so young with such dignity and respect, compassion dedication to detail,  charisma and empathy all rolled into one formidable lovely man.
    His care of my husband was superb.
    The gift of a photo with a beautiful verse to give to family was an end to a perfect send off for my husband and a lasting gift to carry in our purses and wallets.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you so much Jill. You are such an amazing family, it was an honour to care for you all and to take Brian on his final journey. I am glad you liked the memorial cards, just a little something to know Brian is always with you.
  • 5 Louise Simpson 8th Jul 2019

    Timothy parry and family went above and beyond when my dad passed. Tim allowed the whole process to run smoothly, showing empathy and professionalism. Even going out of the way to honour a true Derby County fan by wearing scarfs on the day. Amazing company. X x  x 

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you Louise, your words do mean a lot to us. I'm glad you liked the scarfs, I'm sure dad would have been proud of the Derby County theme turnout. x

    From the 1st  contact till the actual day Tim made everything seem so smooth.  Nothing was too much trouble.

    Our boys (11, 9, & 6) were made to feel special on the day of the service and I think we now have  a funeral director in the making.

    The co-ordination at the police station was truly amazing and just made a sad day so perfect xx

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you so much Sally, that means so much to us all. The top hat looked fantastic on, bless him.
    Best wishes

  • 5 Ellie Burns 5th Jun 2019

    I can’t say thank you enough to Tim and the whole team at T J Parry’s & Family. When you lose someone it is hard, but when it is unexpected it just makes the whole situation even harder. Tim went above and beyond for everything he did, he exceeded himself and the team on ensuring we had the best possible help and support in place. Tim made sure that my loved one had a beautiful send off and the special touches from Tim just made it extra special. After never being in this situation before and all the unknown surrounding us, we were
    made to feel as though nothing was too much to ask for. Tim answers every question, every query in detail and helped me understand the process.

    My family will forever be thankful and appreciative for all the continued support from the team. Words are never enough when saying thank you to such an amazing and helpful team. 

    For anyone going through such a horrible time I would highly recommend Tim and the team. 

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied
    Thank you for leaving a review Ellie, its lovely to hear such words about our services. I have passed this on to my team as well. Thank you for entrusting Irene into our care, it was an honour to look after you all. Timothy J. Parry
