I chose Allen and Son, Funeral Directors for my late husband’s funeral arrangements last year and they proved to be an excellent choice, guiding me through all the problems that my family and I were experiencing at the time. James and Diane were very professional, helpful, kind and caring. It was comforting to know they were always at the end of the phone if I needed to talk. Nothing was too much trouble and they were there to guide us every step of the way helping to take away the stress of the situation and for this I will be forever grateful to them.
James and Diane have been amazing to our family. We sadly lost my in-laws within a few years of each other and James and Diane helped us and navigated us through such a hard time. They really go above and beyond to help if they can. We cannot thank you enough.
I highly recommend Allen & Sons. James and Di run a professional, independent but also extremely caring company, paying special attention to all the finer details. When my dad past away last year James & Di were the perfect pair in providing us with the compassionate care that we needed, you showed us endless amounts of empathy and compassion. James cared for my dad in the most dignified manner, he offered me & my mum genuine words of comfort. The support was endless, Di was in regular touch with us and along side Wendy my dad was given a funeral that was just perfect for him.
The support didn't end there, we are still in contact with them and there support is just endless and nothing is to much for them.
We will be forever grateful.
Diane and James were absolutely wonderful at what was a very difficult time for us. The support they provided was sensitive and compassionate and delivered in a kind and caring manner while remaining professional and dignified. Everything was communicated and explained clearly and there was no pressure to make any decisions until we were ready to do so. Nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
