Let’s talk about death, dying and funeral arrangements
Hi - I’m Jim from Grinter’s Funeral Home in Cambridge and I’d like to talk to you about the journey of life. There are certain topics that are often overlooked, yet essential to address. One such topic is funeral arrangements. While it may seem uncomfortable or even morbid to consider, pre-planning your funeral is a wise and caring decision that provides numerous benefits for both you and your loved ones.
- Pre-planning your funeral allows you to take control of your final farewell and ensure your wishes are respected.
- It relieves your loved ones of the emotional burden of making funeral decisions during a time of grief.
- Pre-plannning and pre-paying provides financial peace of mind by alleviating the burden of funeral costs on your loved ones.
- Involving your family in the process fosters open communication, deeper understanding, and connection.
- Personalising the ceremony reflects your unique life journey and leaves a lasting legacy.
- It provides peace of mind, emotional support, and the opportunity for an authentic celebration of your life.
Contact the Grinter’s Funeral Home team for assistance in pre-arranging and/or pre-paying your funeral - we’re happy to work with you and your family or download your free copy of our Pre-arrangement form.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
