First class service

This is the second time in a year that i have used Lymns. There support throughout the process is dealt with compassion patients and empathy. Their guidance throughout this difficult and stressful time takes the pressure from the individual, who’s having to deal with their loss. I can’t thank lymns enough and a real special thanks to Dan Barnes and Kevin Hall for their help and support though such a difficult time.

Lymn in Becket Street Derby provided a very professional and caring service. From the first contact with Dan everything was very efficient. At a very unpleasant time in my life it was a great comfort that Mum’s funeral was just as I wanted it to be. I was particularly pleased with the order of service and the ease of choosing the music i wanted. Thank you very much to the whole team.

At a very upsetting time, Lymn's have been sensitive, helpful and caring. Dan was patient to the last, helping us to come to the final decisions, explaining everything along the way.
On the day, the whole funeral was conducted in a professional manner, which our Father would have been impressed with. We were treated kindly and directed like a finely tuned play.
Excellent service.
Thank you to all who helped the day go so well.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

5Julia GIACOBBE1st May 2018
Kevin Hall & all the staff have been amazing. Sadly for us,this is our third family funeral in less than two years. On each occasion Lymns have helped & supported us through all the preparations.
On the day of the funeral, the staff were respectful & attentive. They had large umbrellas & made sure that everyone was dry & comfortable. I would thoroughly recommend Lymns, when a loved one passes away.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
It has been an honour to be chosen each time to make the arrangements and carry out the service on the day for your family and I am grateful to you for taking the time to leave this lovely review of the service I provided. Thank you, Kevin.
