I was kept informed right up until the day of the funeral. I was arranging this from 70 miles away and after the first visit to Coventr,y when requirements were discussed with Vicky, it was all managed via telephone and email. The service itself was handled very well and very professionally. Even though one member of staff was unexpectedly taken ill before the actual funeral, which put pressure on others, it was still managed very well. This is the second time that I have had to use these services in the last 8 months and on both occasions a very sad process has been made bearable. .Response on behalf of Grimmett & Timms Funeral Directors25 March 2019Thank you for the kind comments posted on your online review.
