About the company

It serves families in Coventry City Centre, Chapel Fields, Spon End and beyond. The team is well versed in fulfilling cultural or religious requirements, and a wash and dress facility is available for Hindu and Sikh families.

Services include funeral services of all faiths and cultures, viewing in the chapel of rest, hearses and funeral vehicles, memorials and tributes, prepaid funeral plans, and cremation or burial at any local crematorium or burial site. Advice and guidance are provided at every step, including registering the death, with arrangements tailored to meet a family's needs. Attended and Unattended Funeral packages are offered, and memorials include headstones, urns, memorial plaques, vases, statues and jewellery.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Coffin supply, cremation services and memorial work sit alongside traditional funeral direction at this Coventry business, and the accounts left by families return again and again to the manner in which that work is delivered. A number of reviews mention the dignity with which the person who had died was cared for, and chapel visits are spoken of with the same regard as the ceremony itself. One thing mentioned again and again is the contribution of named staff, above all Stacey, praised for patience, kindness and sincerity, and Courtney, described as an excellent main point of contact whose replies came promptly and whose queries were always answered.

Martin is likewise singled out for help with arrangements. Families note that requests and worries were heard and that proceedings matched what had been wished for, with orders of service and a framed photograph cited among thoughtful touches. The team is called professional, supportive and empathetic from the first contact through to the weeks afterwards, including a funeral where plans shifted daily during the opening covid lockdown. Accommodation of Buddhist elements within a ceremony and calm guidance through planning and decisions are further recurring elements, closing with steady support at each stage.

I found the service of Grimmett & Timms top class from the beginning. Nothing was too much trouble, they were all very caring, supportive and empathetic. They took one of the photos I gave them for my Mum's order of service and put it in a frame which was placed on the coffin, which was a lovely unexpected surprise. I got them to sort out the orders of service and they did a beautiful job. I cannot fault the service I received with an extra thank you to Courtney. I would not hesitate to recommend Grimmett & Timms.

At a very sad time for all of the family every member of Grimmett & Timms were there to help and support us. They listened to our requests and any concerns we had and the funeral was exactly what we wanted. They were also still very helpful and attentive after the service. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Grimmit and Timms have been brilliant in arranging my mum's funeral. It has been the most heartbreaking and painful time for us all as a family. Our grandad long ago worked for Grimmit and Timms and so it was only natural for us to use them as our chosen funeral director. Our coordinator has been Stacey. Stacey has been absolutely lovely to work with, patient, kind, thoughtful, considerate and sincere. Nothing has ever been too much trouble from start to finish and we are very grateful to her for everything she has done to make our mum's send off perfect. From the bottom of my heart Stacey, Thank you! Martin our funeral director and his pallbearers were great. Along with the pallbearers, my daughter, brother and myself carried our mum into the chapel. Instructions of how to carry mum were given, which we were so grateful for, as we were nervous of getting things wrong. Martin made sure that all stationery was in place for everyone before the service began. The whole service was floor-less and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Our celebrant was Charlotte Wheeler-Smith through Grimmit and Timms. The whole process has been faultless, the level of time, dedication, detail and love that was put in for my mum's service was outstanding and truly beautiful. Everyone that attended my mum's funeral said, time after time how beautiful it all was. My mum would have been blown away with it. Through such a heartbreaking time, one no one really wants to face or bare, but we have to do the best we can for our cherished loved ones, as we always have - I wholeheartedly recommend Grimmit and Timms to give our loved ones the sent off they truly deserve. Thank you to your all at Grimmit and Timms for everything you have done - we will be forever grateful.

My mum had taken out a funeral plan with Grimmett & Timms nominated. Everything went very smoothly. Courtney in particular, my main point of contact, was excellent. All queries answered and communication prompt.
