Rated 5 / 5

The way that Grimmett & Timms supported us over our recent sad loss made a difficult time more bearable.

They were very professional in the way they handled the funeral arrangements and to guide us through the whole process. They laid out all the various options such the Order of Service, and were warm, considerate and thoughtful throughout.

Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept us informed on a regular basis by email and telephone.

We would like to say a huge thanks and gratitude once again in particular to Stacey, Courtney and Martin.

Therefore, we would highly recommend Grimmett & Timms to others.

Four years ago Martin and the team at Grimmett & Timms dealt with my moms funeral and a month ago my father passed away and I was very lucky to have Martin again. Fantastic company and Martin is amazing.
