I was faced with the unenviable task of arranging my very good friends funeral fortunately he had pre arranged a company to take on the arrangements, the funeral directors chosen were very professional right from the first moment I walked into their premises, I was welcome and relaxed with staff I was dealing with, I was not made feel that I was in anyway pressured into making any rash decisions that I hadn't had time to consider fully. The funeral itself went off without a hitch and all that I had asked for was carried out by a very professional team, this in turn made me proud that I had done my friend the honour of putting him to rest in the very best way possible . Thank you Grimmett & Timms for making this task so much easier to bear .

The service was everything we needed. It was discrete, efficient and courteous. The family changed our minds about the photograph for the newspaper obituary at the last minute and Alex managed to change it. We were very grateful for that.

Stacey administered the occasion very well, exhibiting a lightness of touch that was very welcome. On the day of the funeral Martin caught just the right balance between friendliness and gravitas. The pallbearers were respectful and efficient. I forget their names.

Many thanks to all involved.

Alex and the rest of the staff at Grimmett and Timms were great all the way through the process of the funeral for my brother Andrew Joseph Carter. Alex was very intuitive and quickly understood the type of funeral we wanted to arrange, which made us feel comfortable . She helped us with all the options available, which really helped us with the decisions we made. On the day the funeral itself went very smoothly and everyone was very professional but were also kind and compassionate. Craig Bird was a very good choice as celebrant and he dealt with our unusual family circumstances in a very diplomatic way. Finally we would like to thank you for the framed photograph of my brother with his motorbike, that was a lovely personal touch.

Thank you for the amazing service and Alex is a credit to your organisation. She had a very sympathetic nature to her and made the whole process very easy and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot thank you enough for the extra miles you went to make sure that the service was one of celebration and custom designed for my father.

Very professional company. Due to COVID restrictions a lot done over the phone although we did get to go into branch and was treated with dignity and care and was informed at all times.
