Dan Barnes and Mark Chapman went above and beyond in their care to us all and made the process seamless and smooth. They were very caring, calming and reassuring. I would highly recommend them and A.W. Lymn to anyone.

5Vernal Cooper29th Aug 2023
I found Dan to be good in that he had developed a relationship with the family from meeting him at the funeral planning phase which made things easier, meeting him again at the time of my father's death. He was very professional throughout and even if he missed a call he would respond back or email and supported us as a family through the process.
The day went really well and the relationship they have developed with the church was second to none
A.W. Lymn, Littleover Team replied
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to post this lovely review. We are happy to have been able to help your father with his funeral planning and glad to assist in making sure everything went well on the day. Thanks Dan.

Thank you to Kevin especially who was an excellent support on the day.
The horses were great.

We are glad you were pleased with the horses, and everything Kevin did for you at the time of the funeral, but if there is anything more we could have done to give a 5* service then we would welcome this feedback. Thanks, Dan

From the moment that I had to organise the funeral arrangements for my Mum who had passed away, Dan handled everything so efficiently and professionally, and brought all of the logistics together. Everything ran seamlessly all the way through, and I cannot praise Dan, and all of his team enough, they were excellent. I would happily recommend AW Lymn Littleover to anyone requiring these services.

The service from A.W. Lymn Littleover was excellent. Dan made everything as easy as it could be at such a difficult time and provided information and support every step of the way. Everyone we came into contact with at Lymns right from making the initial phone call to the day of my mum's funeral service was lovely, managing to find the perfect balance of professionalism with care and kindness.
We had used Lymns before for my dad's funeral a few years ago and received the same level of care on that occasion also.

They was very kind and respectful in helping me arrange Chandra’s wishes, it’s not an easy task for anyone with their love and guidance it was made possible. I would like to thank Dan for all his help during this difficult time and also Neil and his amazing colleagues for their understanding and professionalism on the day. I’m most grateful to you all.
Many Thanks

A.W. Lymn at Littleover provided a professional service throughout, showing the utmost respect to our mum and to our wishes.
Dan, our Funeral Arranger, did everything that he said he would do, being very attentive to our wishes, in a timely manner and always calm and professional. Dan's overall service to us was excellent.
Neil was our Funeral Director on the day. Neil phoned the evening before to run through the logistics of the day which was reassuring. On the day of the funeral Neil showed the utmost respect to our mum and to how our day was planned. Neil checked with us at every stage of the day, quietly managing every part of the journey, service and burial, and thoroughly looked after us all.
A.W. Lymn's staff, cars, drivers, pall bearers are all superb, thank you to all involved.

The team were fantastic and went out of their way in not only a difficult time but a complicated one, even staying late into the night to ensure a visit to the Chapel of rest to see Dad for those travelling long distances.
