Tim Matthews Independent Family Funeral Director

5 Michelle Perry 4th Nov 2024

We recently used Tim for my mums funeral . He really went above and beyond for us as a family. He is a very understanding and caring man. Always on hand for advice and support. So professional, we couldn’t fault Tim or his team. I knew my mum was in good hands and cared for as part of the family. Thank you Tim and team. 

5 Christine Robinson 21st Oct 2024

So grateful for a wonderful celebration of life. Tim Matthews acted with such caring and compassion. He took charge of everything which made it easy for us as a family at this difficult time. Thank you Tim.

Tim was everything you need on the death of a family member. Calm, efficient and knows who to call in as celebrant, print service sheets and offer music options.

This the 3rd time we've used him in the last 10 years and everything has worked like clockwork every time.

5 David Humby 23rd Aug 2024

Tim and his team provided a complete, considered, respectful and professional service during a difficult time. Would highly recommend their services. 

5 Sara Yeats 23rd May 2024

Tim is amazing. He quietly gets everything sorted out, basically taking control, which is so important under difficult and emotional circumstances. He's also a genuinely nice guy! Highly recommended.

5 Kim Johnston 12th May 2024

Tim was professional and listened to us from the first time we contacted him and throughout the process of arranging our father’s funeral. He allowed us to take our time in how we wanted the ceremony and never pressured us at any time but was like an  old sympathetic friend showing empathy and compassion. Thank you Tim and your colleagues for your support in giving our father the best send off, he would have loved it. We will recommend your service to others who need this, thank you again from us both for taking pressure from us and allowing us to grieve and celebrate our father. 

5 Martin Downing 7th May 2024

Tim was an excellent support making the whole process feel easy at an otherwise difficult time with lots to organise. 

5 Emma McGann 2nd May 2024

Tim and his team are wonderful, they are sympathetic, empathic and showed my father the greatest respect after he passed away.

Tim appreciated what a difficult time it was for us after losing my father who was very much loved by us all, but he was on hand at all hours of the day and night to make sure that we were coping and to deal with my fathers arrangements, nothing was ever too much trouble for Tim.

My fathers service went without a hitch and those that attended all said what a beautiful service it was, none of which would have been possible without Tim and his team with us every step of the way and for that we cant thank him enough.

5 Jenny Carter 23rd Apr 2024

From my first call to Tim until the end of the funeral I experienced nothing but care and patience from him. Phone calls were answered by him...always, and that was so nice.
I whole-heartedly recommend Tim. There is nothing he could have done better.

5 Geoff Dear 9th Apr 2024

Tim goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. I would highly recommend.

5 Mark Rogers 24th Mar 2024

My wife and myself met Tim at Rose villa care home as we were both working there, we found Tim to be a very gentle and caring man who is very easy to get on with.
When my late nephew passed it was Tim that took care of his funeral and done so amazingly.
Then Tim arranged my wife’s sister’s again he did a tremendous job.
When my wife recently became terminally ill my wife mentioned, you know who I want you to arrange my funeral, I said of course I do, Tim.
Tim carried out my wife funeral with care, dignity and respect and goes above and beyond to make sure that things go as smooth as possible, with as little stress as possible.
If you reading this you probably have a lot to think about at this time, all I can say is  call Tim Mathews I promise you won’t regret it.

5 Matt Angus 23rd Feb 2024

5 Isobel Donaldson 25th Jan 2024

I would definitely recommend this family run business to everyone. The care and attention to detail they provided was excellent. The staff were so helpful and always there for me. It was the first and saddest funeral I’ve had to arrange but they made the whole process so easy to sort, everything was arranged for me stress free and very professional. 
Thank you for all your help.
Kind regards
Isobel

Professional yet personal service. Couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Tim 

5 Patricia Taylor 16th Dec 2023

Very professional but so gentle and caring

5 David Corbett 29th Oct 2023

Tim’s attention to detail was first class, he took away all aspects of the arrangements and completed them with a professional and kindness so important at such times.

Nothing was a problem, I would highly recommend Tim as you get a personal service that has been passed from father to son.

Thank you Tim and your staff

5 John Stamper 20th Oct 2023

Tim brought a very personal and family-orientated approach to the arrangements for my beautiful wife, Sharon. I have never had to arrange a funeral before and Tim made everything very straightforward with a calmness and sensitivity throughout which brought great comfort to us as a family. From bringing Sharon home to the day of the funeral itself, Tim and his team dealt with matters seamlessly, taking away as much of the potential stress as possible for us. It was as 'nice' a day as it could possible have been for us to properly say our farewells.
Highly recommended.
With sincere thanks,
John Stamper

5 Martin Reed 23rd Sep 2023

Tim is very professional and will deal with everything. He provided an excellent service.

5 Carol Bramley 30th Jul 2023

From first to last contact Tim couldn't have been more helpful to us at this sad time for our family. He was compassionate and was there for us every step of the way. I cannot fault his kind and thoughtful manner throughout and I would highly recommend his services to anyone who finds themselves in need of such.

5 Jenny Fisher 4th Jul 2023

Tim was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and he held our hands through the whole process we will always be grateful.
Thank you

5 Cath Carless 2nd Apr 2023

Tim was the most considerate , kind and helpful man always quick to respond in a thorough and supportive manner . Time never appeared to be an issue  in terms of how long we spent meeting or talking in response to a query I might raise  . Changing our minds on things which we did was never an issue . He introduced me to a fabulous florist and amazingly kind and empathic celebrant . I would highly recommend him .
