- Rating 5.019 July 2019My family have used the services of Grimmett and Timms for nearly forty years and last July I approached them with regards to assisting my brother and I with the funeral arrangements of my late father. It is a difficult and emotional period for those arranging the funeral, especially when having to make decisions. The staff at Grimmett and Timms were warm, caring and supportive; we felt that nothing was too much trouble for them, especially when we couldn't make up our minds over certain aspects of the funeral. The staff would contact us with regular updates, to ascertain whether there was anything we needed to discuss and most importantly just to provide support and kind words. The funeral arrangements went smoothly, with a representative overseeing the day, gently and discreetly guiding the family throughout the day.
Ten months later, I had to arrange my late Uncle's funeral and I had no hesitation in returning to Grimmett and Timms for the same. Once again, I received a wonderful service from Grimmett and Timms' employees.

The Funeral Arranger went above and beyond their duty by personally taking my flowers from the Crematorium and taking them to the Church in Stoneleigh for my friends interment and by passing by my home to drop off the Scatter Urn. I would recommend using Grimmett & Timms.Response on behalf of Grimmett & Timms Funeral Directors10 May 2019Thank you for sharing your views with us on your online review.
