    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 Sandra Ward 14th Feb 2023

  • 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.

  • 5 Matthew Wilson 3rd Jan 2023

    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

  • 5 Margaret Martin 29th Dec 2022

    We used the company 3 years ago when we lost my mother in law and didn’t hesitate to use them again when I lost my husband
    We would highly recommend them

  • 5 Elaine Lockley 24th Dec 2022

    Tim and his team made the day so much more bearable. Everything was done with dignity and respect for Dad, myself and the family. They truly deserve to be commended for their services in such sad times.

  • 5 James Elrick 23rd Dec 2022

    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.

  • 5 Judi Cripps 22nd Nov 2022

    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 Gregory Martin 21st Oct 2022

    The second time I've delt with Tim and family. A totally professional and caring team.

  • 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.
