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.

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

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

Very friendly and helpful and gave advice on all aspects of ceremony

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 . 

5 Julie Wade 14th Feb 2023

Tim your kindness and compassion was in abundance from first meeting you. Your attention to detail made our Dad’s funeral a truly beautiful and memorable day. You helped us and more importantly our Mum, give him the best send off, one he truly deserved. From Mum, myself and the rest of the family, thank you so much 💙

5 John White 3rd Feb 2023

Very sympathetic and helpful. Many favourable comments about the service and Kellys contribution as celebrant
Would definitely recommend Tim and his team.

5 Michael Izzard 24th Dec 2022

Can’t express how thoughtful and excellent Tim’s service has been

5 Alex Nunn 16th Aug 2022

Cannot recommend Tim and his team highly enough.

 He worked tirelessly to ensure everyone of my fathers wishes were met, calling in favours where necessary and generally going above and beyond. Not easy in the august heat!

Respectful, professional and still personal. Thanks Tim et al!

5 Liz Morgan 12th Aug 2022

We were guided and supported so well by Tim, from first contact. We were kept informed 
at all times with great advice and helped to achieve everything we wanted for a perfect celebration of dads life. It was so helpful and reassuring to be in such safe hands. 

5 Karen Upton 18th Jul 2022

We cannot praise Tim high enough. He was professional, efficient, friendly and thorough. But above all, he was an absolute gentleman whos support for our family went above and beyond. Thank you Tim, we'll always be grateful.

5 Carol Slark 27th Jun 2022

We chose to use Tim Matthews as he had previously looked after my ex Mother in Law, so I knew my Dad would be in great hands.

Tim took my call even though he was out of the office and was so caring and compassionate after the sudden loss of my father. Just what our family needed at such an emotional time. Nothing was too much trouble for Tim. Myself and my family HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Tim even sourced the lovely Kelly as a humanist to take the service at the Wessex Vale Crematorium as my dad was in no way religious. Tim chose so well in Kelly as she took the time to come and capture the precious memories of my Dad in such a way that when she read out his Eulogy everyone that attended commented on how well the service had gone and how Kelly had captured his fund side. By Tim finding Kelly for us, he organised another dreaded element of organising Dad's funeral out of our hands and into the safe hands of professionals.

Tim was always on the end of the phone for us all and always kept us updated with texts etc. a truly amazing man that I will always be grateful to.

My Dad was in very safe hands.

Always grateful
Carol Slark

5 Kristy Knights 21st Jun 2022

His personal approach made the whole process easier for our family and we would like to express our gratitude.

5 Stuart H 25th Apr 2022

Tim, Thank you for looking after Chris and giving him the send-off he deserved. From the moment you took him into “your care”, to driving him to the final event via his house and boat, it was done with dignity, care and professionalism. I cannot thank you enough. The team of people you surround yourself with are truly fantastic
