From the moment we first made contact with A W Lymn we felt heard, supported and respected.
Every thought and wish we had for my parents funeral was honoured by them.
The staff were wonderful, thoughtful and intuitive which at a sad and difficult time is so very important.
The chapel of rest and ease of access to it was so very special.
My parents had a beautiful send off, and we can do nothing but highly recommend them.
