From our initial meeting with Dan in the Littleover office until  Mum's  service at church and the crematorium, the service Lymn's gave was very professional and caring. Thankyou for making the occasion as good as it could be in the circumstances.

    My brother and I could not fault the service offered by A.W.Lymn. Right from the very first phone call to Derek through to the actual day of the funeral in which Angela was so compassionate and professional. We were especially pleased to discover that our dad would be taking his final car journey in a silver RR which was absolutely stunning along with the 3 other cars. Thank you Angela and your team you made us very happy that we gave dad the very best.

Angela was very thorough and very kind to me and my girls. The compassion she showed to us at this very distressing time was outstanding. Angela talked everything through with us that would happen on the day leaving nothing out, so there was no surprises to upset us.
