Tim Matthews Independent Family Funeral Director

5 Sarah Jane Williams 28th Apr 2025

Tim Matthews is an incredible, kind and compassionate funeral Director who goes well above and beyond with every last detail. I am so pleased we chose him to look after Mum after her passing. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble, and he helped us to navigate everything with such warmth and kindness. There are some people that do their jobs because they are exceptional at them, others because they feel passionate about a cause, Tim is both. He came so highly recommended and rightly so. The respect he showed to deliver absolutely everything and more was outstanding. His service is so personal to ensure that a final farewell to a loved one is delivered with same care to the ones grieving as we showed to the ones we have lost. The chapel of rest is also a beautiful and peaceful resting place. Thank you Tim, whilst the last few weeks have been the hardest ever, you have offered so much genuine comfort, and I am forever grateful to you for this. SJ xxx

Thank you Tim Matthews to you & your team for your professionalism, consideration to our family & our Mum’s wishes, your thoughtful, sympathetic & very caring nature & approach & for your constant reassurance throughout every stage at what has been an extremely difficult time for our family. We couldn’t have wished for a better funeral parlour for whom we entrusted our mum into their care.

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 Chris Stoke 15th Oct 2024

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 Rob Berry 26th Mar 2024

Very friendly and caring service. Many Thanks

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
