Thank you Tim for helping us to create a beautiful send off for our Mum. The service we received was exceptional. From the very beginning, Tim showed a deep understanding of the sensitivity required in handling funeral arrangements. The team at T J Parry were thoughtful and sensitive to our needs. Tim made us feel supported and comforted throughout the entire process. They were always available for any questions or concerns we had, and their communication was excellent. We especially liked the cuddles from Clay. They went above and beyond to fulfil our request for a VW campervan hearse, which was absolutely perfect and added a personal touch to the funeral. The funeral itself was incredibly moving and beautiful. Tim and his team ensured that every detail was taken care of, and the family was looked after with great care and compassion. Their attention to detail and dedication to providing a meaningful service was evident throughout. I cannot thank Tim enough for guiding us through this difficult time and holding our hand every step of the way. The exceptional service made a world of difference, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral arrangements.

Absolutely outstanding so much care and compassion was given to my mum from the bottom of my heart I thank you all you truly are amazing 

Christine Dunn 21st Mar 2024

Thank you Tim for all your help and guidance at our mum’s funeral.  You were very kind and supportive.  We were especially touched that you walked in front of the hearse past Rider House Nursing Home (mum's home for over 4 years) where a lot of the staff were waiting to pay their respects.   The laminated cards you gave us after the service was a lovely gesture. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone requiring your service.

    Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.simply the best 

  • 5 Jane Morris 16th Mar 2024

    Very professional from the first visit to arrange the funeral to the funeral itself. Could not fault anyone or anything. They added little touches such as wearing ties the colour of the deceased’s car as he was a classic car enthusiast. The service in the Chapel was excellent and very well received by the mourners. I would recommend them without hesitation. 

  • 4 Mervyn Eaton 15th Mar 2024

  • 5 Clare Insley 14th Mar 2024

  • 5 Tracey Heap 11th Mar 2024

    From my initial call after the death of my mum Tim showed true compassion and understanding towards us as a family. The funeral itself was impeccable and truly outstanding in professionalism. 

  • 5 Tracey Yeomans 6th Mar 2024

    I cannot recommend Tim and his team highly enough. From the start of the process he showed kindness and compassion and professionalism throughout the arrangements of my fathers funeral and everything went exactly as planned on the day. Steve the celebrant was also amazing in the planning of the service and also on the day. A huge thank you to Tim and the team

  • 5 Caroline Grimes 4th Mar 2024

    My dad lived in a little village called Hopwas, I asked TJ Parry's if they would be able to do his funeral, the words were it would be an honour. Barbs took over and sorted everything for us, from the collection of Dad, to the service at the local village church to the crematorium. I went to visit Dad in the chapel he looked so well, he just looked like he was a sleep. On the day of Dads funeral Tim introduced my children to the driver and explained what would happen next. Dad was carried into Church by the Pallbearers, people in the village commented on the respect and dignity shown. The flowers were out of this world, bright colourful and smelt amazing. I honestly cannot thank the team at TJ Parrys for the respect shown to Dad, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for giving Dad the send off he deserved

  • 5 Fiona Key 27th Feb 2024

    A well organised arrangement could not fault it

  • 5 Janet Farahnak 13th Jan 2024

    I was recommended TJ Parry from a friend who had used them for their parents funeral and said how good they were.
    I found Tim and his team extremely professional on how they handled my husband’s funeral from start to finish and they were also very understanding to myself and my daughter’s emotions.
    They were very prompt in handling any queries we had with extreme efficiency and overall the service and support given was faultless.
    I would not hesitate to recommend them. 
    Thank you again. Janet

  • 5 Stephen Lloyd 27th Dec 2023

    Tim his family and staff made sure that every little detail was attended to and the funeral went as planned making a difficult day go as good as possible. I would defiantly recommend his services and would not hesitate to use him again. 

  • 5 Jane Fleming 26th Dec 2023

    T J Parry supported us through all the arrangements for our Dads funeral. They had all the information that Dad had chosen for our mums funeral 2 years previously and we were able to arrange a service for Dad that we know he would have been happy with. Tim gently reminds you of decisions that you need to make which was great as it seemed so overwhelming at times. Tim also recommended Steve as our celebrant and this was also a fantastic recommendation. Tim guides you through the day and honestly I am not sure we would have had everything in place if it wasn't for Tim and his staff. Its already a difficult time but Tim and the whole of his team at Parrys make it much less stressful. Thank you.

  • 5 Diane Green 22nd Dec 2023

    Tim has been very efficient caring and professional. He ensured the family were well informed throughout this distressing time for us all. He is accepting of all our thoughts and feelings, some very sad others with a giggle. I would be more than happy to recommend his services to anyone who needs a friendly, efficiently professional body at a very emotional time.
