Independent Funeral Directors in Grimsby

Alexanders Funeral Care is an independent, family-run funeral director serving Grimsby and the surrounding area with compassionate, personal support.

Alexanders Funeral Care was founded by Tony Alexander, who qualified as a Funeral Director in 1994 and opened Alexanders in February 2007 after serving the local Cleethorpes/Grimsby community in funeral care for nearly 20 years. What began as a vision to offer a more personal approach to funeral care has grown into one of Grimsby's most trusted independent funeral directors.

It is very much a family business. Tony's son, David Alexander, works alongside him and is a qualified Funeral Director. Tony's wife Vicky is a part-time receptionist. As a family business, they are able to offer a more personal service — nothing is too much trouble.

In 2008, Alexanders Funeral Care proudly received the North East Lincolnshire Enterprise Award for New Business, which acknowledged the hard work and dedication that had made Alexanders Funeral Care possible.

Alexander House, our premises on Carr Lane in Grimsby, was originally a derelict shop that was extended and transformed over a period of eight months into a large and beautiful funeral home. The home is tastefully furnished; the rooms are light, welcoming and wheelchair friendly. Our cars are silver, with the option to substitute for black if preferred.

Family and friends are able to visit their loved ones in our private chapel at any time day or night, as often as they like (by prior appointment), without incurring any extra charge.

  From banks and utilities to the DVLA and GP surgery, there are many organisations to inform. We provide a helpful checklist to make this easier.
