For over 35 years, Grinter’s Funeral Home and Rosetown Funerals have been a comforting presence for families across Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Hamilton, and the wider Waipā and Waikato regions.
Proudly locally owned, they are among the few funeral homes in the region that bring not only professional services but a genuine sense of connection to the communities they serve.
Jim Goodin and the wider Grinter’s and Rosetown team works with families to plan respectful and meaningful farewells, ensuring the whānau feel supported and their loved ones’ wishes are honoured every step of the way. The team has earned a reputation for exceptional funeral services in the region through their dedication, empathetic approach, and meticulous attention to detail.
Grinter’s and Rosetown Funeral Homes’ commitment extends far beyond their professional services, with community at the heart of everything they do.
Grinter's and Rosetown contribute to various local initiatives. They sponsor sports teams, participate in community events, and donate an extraordinary number of hours to several nonprofit organisations, including Hato Hone St John, Lions and others. Jim Goddin also acts as a local Justice of the Peace.
They team also take pride in being active members of several associations, with involvement in governance roles that include the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand, the New Zealand Embalmers Association, and Blake Emergency Services.
This community support has not gone unnoticed and in 2023, Grinter’s and Rosetown Funeral Homes won the Community Contribution Award at the Waipā Business Awards alongside the Small Business Excellence Award.
Building on their successes, they were also named finalists in the Excellence in Small Business category in the 2025 Waipā Business Awards, a testament to their continued growth, care, and service.
The future continues to look bright for the business, with Rosetown Funerals in Te Awamutu currently undergoing major renovations and a brand refresh to ensure the community’s needs are met well into the future.
The renovations will completely modernise the chapel and facilities while maintaining the welcoming, personalised and tranquil atmosphere that the funeral home is known for.
Grinter’s Funeral Home and Rosetown Funerals are proud to be working with Accounted4, as their Featured Client, as they continue to provide essential services in our Waipā community during the most challenging times in life.
