From our first contact by telephone and thereafter, T Allen Funeral Service have given us as a family excellent service and support, we could not have asked for more, throughout this very difficult time.  The care and compassion shown to us all was first class from every member of staff and the thoughtful little extras/finishing touches really sums up the kindness and family values of T Allen.  We would highly recommend this independent family business. 

Marianne Luckhurst 24th Feb 2024

This is the third time I have used T Allen and once again they have been brilliant. Sarah in the Rainham branch is an absolute star nothing is too much trouble. All the staff on the day of the funeral did everything we asked for taking all the pressure off us. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to them for their service, making us have as stress free a day  as we could have,  under the circumstances. 

Peter Bowyer 18th Feb 2024

Our experience with T. Allen from start to finish was exceptional. They looked after us with such care given the difficult circumstances, guiding us through the process with patience and meticulous detail. From the moment we first met with Sarah, we felt supported and guided through the arrangements in a gentle and sympathetic way. During the lead up they handled everything conscientiously and we felt comfortable every step of the way. On the day everything went so smoothly, led by Matt who was very compassionate. We couldn't have asked for better support than we received from the whole team.

    My family entrusted T.Allen (Rainham Branch - Kent) to assist us with our mum’s funeral. We were guided through the process with care, efficiency & professionalism, from the initial phone call & meeting, right through to our mum’s funeral & after care. We were thoroughly supported & couldn’t fault the service provided. We send our heartfelt thanks to Sarah & the team of gentleman on the day, who showed care & respect for our mum & us. 

  • 5 Caroline Morgan 3rd Aug 2023

    I can honestly recommend T Allen's Funeral Service as compassionate, considerate, professional and thorough. All of their staff were welcoming and approachable and gave honest useful advice on the process of organizing the funeral while taking into consideration us as a family and our requirements. The office staff were brilliant and checked in with us before and after the funeral to ensure everything was to plan and constantly asking if they could be of any further assistance. On the day the staff were so respectful especially to my mother who was distraught, giving us the time we needed to grieve properly. These are a true family firm who make me feel that my Dad had the best care on his final journey.

    My family and I have nothing but praise for the entire team at T Allen from collecting my husband when he passed to delivering us to the wake.  The whole team were considerate, kind and sympathetic, nothing was too much trouble and they delivered everything we asked for. They took care of a dearly loved and missed husband and father with dignity.  Thank you to the whole team, Pat and the boys

    My dealings with the Rainham Office were really efficient and so helpful in a difficult time from our initial meeting to the actual cremation.
    It is the exceptional kindness from each and every member of the team that must be mentioned here.
    My particular thanks go to Sophie for all her help and kindness throughout the process. I know things could have been so much harder for myself and my family without her.

  • 5 Linda Newton 13th May 2022

    We can’t thank Sophie enough for supporting us through a very difficult few weeks.  At a time when our thoughts were all over the place, Sophie guided us in a calm yet cheerful way.  It helped us to cope knowing Sophie was looking after dad with great care and respect.  On the day of the funeral T Allen were very professional yet sympathetic and respectful.
