    We couldn't have asked for more from Tim and his team. They showed us care and compassion the whole time they had our loved one with them. Their attention to detail really helped during and after the funeral too. I highly recommend Tim Parry funeral directors.

  • 5 Tanya Upton 14th Jan 2025

    T.J. Parry and family arranged my father’s funeral. The only way to start this review would be to thank you so much for your understanding, commitment, care, and kindness. Losing my Father was heart-breaking, but at the same time daunting at the thought of arranging his funeral while going through the worst possible moments in my life, but they took that away I informed Tim of what I thought my Father would of wanted and him made it happen right down to the lowering of his coffin with a glass of beer on top without spilling a drop his team are definitely committed to providing the most amazing service with total respect.

  • 5 David Ashby 11th Nov 2024

    Our father passed away a few weeks ago and this was the first time we’d had to organise a funeral. We chose T J Parry based on the lovely reviews people had already left and they definitely weren't wrong. Tim and the team were fantastic from start to finish. When we explained that this was our first time organising a funeral Tim kept everything simple, and helped to steer us in the right direction when we couldn’t decide. We were constantly kept updated with everything through emails and phone calls. Tim also introduced us to the celebrant Steve who was equally fantastic. Tim, Steve and all the staff really helped make our dads send off really special and we have nothing but praise for them. 

  • 5 Rachel Kelly 5th Nov 2024

  • 5 John Matthews 7th Oct 2024

    From the first moment I spoke with TJ Parry I felt my late wife was in very safe and caring hands. I have been guided with professional excellence and empathy throughout this difficult time. Every wish and request made has been met and nothing has been too much trouble to arrange. The service orchestrated by Steve our celebrant was a fitting tribute to my beautiful wife and I am so grateful to every member of the team who I came into contact with. When you lose someone you want to feel exactly the way Tim and his team made me feel; they made me feel that my wife was as important to them as she is to me and for that I am so thankful.
