Lesley & Richard Corke 14th Feb 2018

From the first contact by telephone asking for advice on costs, through meetings to understand our wishes, Angela proved helpful and knowledgeable and provided useful advice on the process of registering a death. More than that, up to the day, she was always available in person, by phone or by email to resolve queries and gently remind about forgotten options. It would have been so much harder without her. On the day, Derek was prompt, polite and very respectful towards my dear mother. Quietly guiding us through the protocols at the crematorium. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company most highly for the professional and respectful way in which my mother's funeral was directed. At a very sad time your team have left us with happy memories. Lesley & Richard Corke

    Can't fault the service we received from Angela and the whole team at Lymn Littleover. They made it as smooth as possible and were equally sensitive and professional to all needs. Thank you x

    We are pleased that Angela's professional yet sensitive manner ensured everything ran smoothly for you and would thank you for your high appraisal of her and her team.
  • 5 Caroline Foster 13th Jul 2017

    We have been very impressed indeed with Angela Knight of the Littleover office. She is professional and appropriate, personable and likeable, and she has very good attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble for her.

    We shall definitely use A.W. Lymn (preferably the Littleover office if that is still the appropriate office), when we need a funeral service again.

    We have been similarly impressed with Kevin Hall. His guidance at our initial meeting with him was invaluable. The only thing he could improve is the tailcoat he wore on the day of our father's funeral. It looked as if it needed either a good clean or to be replaced with a new one.

    With our thanks.

    Caroline and Tim

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your kind words about Angela and the service she provided, we are pleased that you found her to be professional as well as personable and likeable. Angela has asked me to pass on that is is her honour to care for the families who choose to use her services and she is touched that you have taken the time to let her know how you feel she performed at this sad time. Thank you also for your feedback on Kevin's tailcoat, I will ensure that this is looked at.
