Barbara Walker 9th Jul 2021

I would highly recommend TJ Parry for their professional kind and sympathetic no fuss service.

Lorraine Chapman 20th Jun 2021

Tim was very respectful from the first contact with my husband Pete at our home, where he passed away with his family by his side. Both Tim and Ben acted in a calm and dignified manner to ensure that both Pete and our families wishes were taken into account from start to finish. From the cars arriving and Tim giving family, friends and neighbours time to pay their respects before Tim walking ahead of Pete to take him from his home to displaying his fire helmet on the coffin. The Fire Brigade flag bearers walking in front of the cars from the gates at the Crematorium, where there was a Dennis fire engine and white watch fire fighters there to honour Pete on his last ‘shout’. Pete would have been overwhelmed, as we were, with all the personal touches arranged by Tim and his family. We had so many lovely comments on the funeral service. Pete deserved the best and he certainly got that with your company. We would thoroughly recommend T J Parry. Thank you for making my beloved husband Pete’s last journey so memorable in so many ways and I will remember what you did for our family for a long time. Deepest thanks.

    From the moment of first contact with Tim I knew my dear Dad was being looked after by very special people. I cannot put into words the comfort and peace I experienced on seeing Dad in the Chapel of Rest. Tim had personally bought Dad back to us and I will forever be grateful. The respect my Dad was shown on the day of his funeral was immeasurable. I would like to extend my thanks and immense gratitude to the whole team for making a very, very difficult day easier to bear.

    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.

    We can't thank Tim & Rachael enough for the way they treated Dad which was a great comfort to us all, they were so kind, caring and very respectable and their attention to detail is impeccable. We were dreading having to organise the funeral but when we saw Tim he made a traumatic time much easier for all of us, understanding what our family was going through and nothing was to much trouble. Tim & the team were brilliant on the day of the funeral looking after us every step of the way, we thankyou from the bottom of our hearts. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Tim & staff at T.J.Parry's Funeral Directors.
