Meet The Team
Experienced, compassionate individuals providing heartfelt support to families in their time of need
Nigel and Claire Groves
Groves Family Funeral Directors is a business entirely owned and run by husband and wife team, Nigel & Claire Groves.
Nigel was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and grew up in Birmingham. After spending time travelling, he returned to the UK to find his parents in Brixham, Devon. Here he settled for some 20 years.
Claire, having been born and bred in Weston-super-Mare is a bit more of a home bird who has travelled somewhat, but has always come back home to Weston.
'Between us we have four children. Maddie is 26, Lillie is 22, George is 17 and Charlie is 13. We also have two Grandsons, and a grand daughter so it’s looking as though things won’t be getting any quieter any time soon.'
'Being a funeral director is more than a vocation; it’s a way of life. We are deeply passionate about helping families through one of life's most difficult moments. We understand the importance of honouring a loved one’s life with care, compassion, and respect. For us, funeral care is personal—we take the time to listen, ensuring every service reflects the unique personality and wishes of your loved one.
Our commitment goes beyond the ceremony. We’re here to offer comfort and guidance, supporting families every step of the way. At the heart of what we do is a genuine desire to provide meaningful, heartfelt farewells that bring peace and comfort to those we serve.Being available to serve 24/7 can only mean that our way of life must accommodate those who we serve. Just as we allow our own families the privilege of an open door into our lives, so too is the door always open for anyone who is in need of our help.
