  • 5 Judith Port 28th Nov 2025

    Absolutely wonderful how they cared and carried the funeral out they are truly very thoughtful.

  • 5 Jacqui Maw 22nd Nov 2025

    We entrusted Tim and his team with our mum’s funeral and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. Every detail was handled with such care and was as beautiful and perfect as it could possibly be. Mum’s basket, the flowers, the visual tribute, the car, and the way she was treated with such respect and honour meant more to us than we can put into words.
    Tim’s professionalism, compassion, and guidance made an incredibly difficult time feel much more manageable. From start to finish we felt fully supported and we truly appreciate everything they did.

  • 5 Diane Bennett 19th Nov 2025

  • 5 Jeremy Stockdale 16th Nov 2025

    I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Tim and all of his team at Parry’s for the excellent service they provided at this very difficult time for us.

  • 5 Jackie Wallace 16th Nov 2025

    The kindness , support and service we received as a family was second to none. 
    Every detail was covered . I cannot thank Parry’s enough. 

  • 5 June Holland 14th Nov 2025

    Tim, Kirsty, and all Staff at T J Parry & Family Funeral Directors are absolutely second to none.

    Tim and his team took care of everything from start to finish ensuring a seamless farewell for our treasured Husband & Dad.

    The respect, dignity, and care shown to our Family on one of the hardest days of our lives made things more bearable for us.


    Tim explained everything that was happening on the day at every step and nothing was too much trouble for him or the team.

    T J Parry are true professionals, as all other reviews confirm and we cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us.

  • 5 David Thomas 9th Nov 2025

    Despite being close to 200 miles away, I was keen to appoint an independent Family Funeral Director and T J Parry did not disappoint.  Tim could not have been more empathetic and understanding.  The process was clearly explained including the cost implications and the guidance offered was ideal for our circumstances.
    He helped guide us through an inevitably challenging process and his recommendation for a celebrant suited us perfectly.  We were also delighted with the flowers from Philips.
    Some family members decided to act as bearers and the guidance provided enabled them to fulfil this role admirably.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

  • 5 Janice Cantrill-Frost 4th Nov 2025

    We found the quality of service we received from T.J. Parry Family Funeral Directors to be exceptional during the time our lovely Mum/Nan was in their care.
    They were smart, very professional, and always happy to help with any questions or concerns we may have had at this sad time. They made us all feel comfortable and relaxed on the day of the funeral and happily obliged in our request to take a specific journey to the crematorium to pass her Care Home so that the staff there may also pay their respects.

  • 5 Glenys Price 3rd Nov 2025

    I would recommend this team of people to anyone they made a very sad time far more easier to deal with, and were very professional thank you.

  • 5 Karen Wyles 27th Oct 2025

    Couldn't have asked for anything better. Tim and his team were caring and compassionate from start to finish. Very professional and the service was beautiful. We were made to feel so comfortable and relaxed. We couldn't have asked for more and Tim finished it off with the little memory cards. Absolutely excellent service.

  • 5 Andrew Chapman 26th Oct 2025

    Tim from TJParry & Family was extremely empathetic as he guided us through arranging my Mum’s funeral. Along with his team they made all arrangements as we agreed and everything went exactly to plan. As a family we cannot fault the service we received. 

  • 5 Suzanne Yelland 21st Oct 2025

    Tim ,
    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of Dad on his final journey from this world.
    There are not enough superlatives to describe you and the impeccable service that you provide. From the moment you walked into my Dad’s lounge on the 25th September to our final handshake at Pirelli stadium on 17 th October you were professional, kind, warm , caring , respectful, understanding, and your service was impeccable. 
    To have established the business that you have at your young age is unique. You should be extremely proud of yourself and what you do and what you offer to people at the very rawest time of their lives . 




    We will always hold dear what you did for us , wishing you continued success and personal happiness.

  • 5 Leasa Bailey 20th Oct 2025

    Friendly staff went above and beyond their duties. Took care of me at this sad time. Definitely recommend their services.

  • 5 Joel Lynch 12th Oct 2025

    TJ Parry's (with special thanks to Kirsty) were fabulous. They were compassionate and understanding of the difficulties in meeting everyone's wishes for the funeral they want for their loved one. On the day Tim and his staff were kind, organised and efficient in the smooth running of the service. Many thanks to everyone there.

    From meeting Tim abd his colleagues the process was handled with dignity and made very straightforward. I would wholeheartedly recommend his servicez

  • 5 Stuart Betts 30th Sep 2025

    Absolutely first class from start to finish. I’m struggling for the words that will do them justice. The loss of my wife was devastating but their process was one of compassion and professionalism but extremely personal. Well done and thank you to everyone involved. 

  • 5 Janet Fozard 29th Sep 2025

    Can't spk to highly of Tim and his Team

  • 5 Carol Cheaney 29th Sep 2025

    From start to finish Mums ( Ann) funeral ( or Farewell as Tim so beautifully called it ) was perfect in every way.
    The care and consideration of our family, compassion & empathy, attention to detail, communication, premises, care of my mum, chapel of rest, Clay the Spaniel, organisation, fulfilling special requests, professionalism was absolutely amazing. The thoughtful touches didn't go unnoticed - the matching lapel buttonholes and the memory cards were both a surprise and a beautiful keepsake.

    You would be very hard pressed to find any fault with the services of Tim and TJ Parry & Family Funeral Directors. You would be hard pressed to find anyone better. Myself and the family would recommend 100%
    Tim, you are a remarkable young man - you should be very proud of yourself, as I'm sure your parents are.

    Thank you so much on behalf of all the family
    Carol
