excellent service
Evripides Evriviades 13th Nov 2021
All arrangements were impeccable. Can't speak more highly about Mark Chapman who took all the hassle away from Family in the build up to the funeral. He was patient, understanding and thoroughly professional.
On the day of the funeral Jackie led proceedings and again everything ran like clockwork and very smoothly. We cannot thank Lymns enough for their service to our family.

I can't thank Mark Chapman (and Julie) enough for their support, compassion and professionalism whilst helping me through the difficulties of arranging my late husband's funeral. Many compromises had to be overcome due to the Covid 19 situation and the help I received around this has been invaluable and although most of the arrangements had to be done via the telephone or email, I never once felt unsupported with decisions and choices which had to be to be made.

Under the terrible circumstances, the day went as well as it could. Mark always made you feel at ease and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. The respect and professionalism was 110% at all times no matter how much of a difficult time it is. I can't thank Mark enough for being there every step of the way, no matter the hurdles we all had to jump with everything going on. So thank you for giving my dad a sent off he deserved.

Thank you for your kind words. It was an honour to be able to help you and the family plan the funeral for David and to be able to have Ernie the VW hearse on the day for his last journey as he wanted it to be "in style". I would like to pass on my thanks to you and the family for your patience and understanding at this time due to the changes we have all had to put in place to keep everyone safe, but still be able to celebrate Davidâs life. I hope that you all stay safe and if you need me for anything then just call me, and I will help you in any way I can.
All arrangements were impeccable. Can't speak more highly about Mark Chapman who took all the hassle away from Family in the build up to the funeral. He was patient, understanding and thoroughly professional.
On the day of the funeral Jackie led proceedings and again everything ran like clockwork and very smoothly. We cannot thank Lymns enough for their service to our family.
