As the great-grandson of a funeral director and embalmer Grant has always had an awareness of the industry and the services it delivers and as soon as he had a full driving licence he made his goal to secure employment and training in the trade. He has benefited from training with two industry corporates, but also has experience with smaller independent funeral services. Seeing a need for more individual funeral options Grant set about finding suitable vehicles to use as alternative hearses and in 2011 the Final Cruise Company was formed offering unusual funeral cars for car enthusiasts.

Fast forward to 2017 Grant decided it was time to start his own funeral service known as County Funerals; offering personalised and affordable funerals to families who needed the experience and support he could offer. Now in 2019 his hard work and dedication has come to fruition with the opening of County Funerals first branch in Little Wymondley.

Family is of huge importance to Grant, as a father to 3 children and one of 6 siblings with a vast extended family. He truly understands that family and friends always know their loved ones the best and as such funerals are best planned and organised with extensive input from those closest to the individual.

A very well known and social person, when he is not working Grant loves nothing more than driving his hotrods which include a 1949 Chevy and a 1927 T-bucket. He is an active member of the A602 Street and Strip Rod Club based in Stevenage and can regularly be seen fronting their events with a microphone in hand.
