Funeral
Arrangements
A funeral gives us the chance to share our feelings and support one another at a complex and difficult time, and is an important early step in the grieving process. It creates a special space for sharing precious memories, telling stories, making tributes and simply being together with friends and family.
At Grinter’s Funeral Home, we are here to help guide and support you and your family through the funeral process. We also take care of all the necessary arrangements, so you don’t have to.
Planning
Ahead
Planning a funeral service in advance ensures that your final wishes are carried out. This provides emotional security for families, finding comfort in knowing the funeral reflects what their loved one wanted. It also relieves a lot of stress, as they won’t need to make hard decisions at what is already a difficult time.
To pre-plan a funeral, simply get in touch with our friendly team, or do it quickly and easily online. You can plan as much or as little as you like, and nothing is too much to ask.
Making Funerals Personal
Every person is unique, so we believe that funerals should be too. With Grinter’s Funeral Home, any part of a funeral service can be personalised to reflect and celebrate the life of your loved one. This can include the venue, theme, casket, dress code, order of service, music and much more.
We are always open new ideas, so you are welcome to make suggestions at any time. If it will make the service more personal and meaningful, we will do everything we can to make it happen.
Testimonials
Lesley & Pamela
“Thank you ever so much for the support and attention given to Pauline during her time in your care. The friendly assistance, conversations and communications throughout all the preparation and planning, and the service itself was superb and so much appreciated. The photographic service sheet was excellent and such a treasure to keep. A truly wonderful informal family gathering sharing moments of her life.”
Alison
“I would highly recommend Grinter’s as the go to funeral home for Cambridge. Upon the sudden loss of my Dad, with just about all the family being out of town, we found Grinter’s expertise to be invaluable. They guided us through the funeral process, explained how we could hold the funeral with our limited budget and showed us every kindness, empathy and understanding. Plus, being professional and friendly at the same time. They helped us through the difficult time of planning a funeral, something we had never done before. Thank you so much for your support.”
Helen
“Your team helped my family and friends lay my Mum to rest. Although, like many families, there are disagreements that occur in times of stress, Jim from Grinter’s was able to keep the ball rolling without stepping on anyone’s toes. Fantastic service and caring all the way, I take my hat off to you for the wonderful service you provide. Forever grateful.”

“I just wanted to say thank you so very much for everything that yourself and staff at Grinter’s did for Dad. Not having ever done this before, it just ran so smoothly and it was such a relief to have someone organise it all for us. I was very impressed with the job that Aaron did of the video live streaming. It looked beautiful. Kaye was quite fabulous too.”

“Sadly we’ve had to organise two funerals and Jim and his team have been fantastic to work with. Nothing was too much trouble – and they have a great sense of humour which is sometimes required – even during sad and difficult times. Thank you.”
