I was very impressed, with the whole package that I had, the cars were impressive, and the ushers were fantastic and had a calming effect at a very emotional time, nothing was too much for them
Fiona at the funeral parlour was very helpful and kind, and very helpful in organising the funeral for me, so much so that things went very smoothly on the day.
So my husband Brian had a lovely send off that he would have been proud of.
Thank you
Yours sincerely Ruth Mawbey

Sadly this is the second time we have used Lymns funeral services, but again they have been amazing, I have received excellent support and feel happy that they will be caring for our dad on his final journey. Especially Kevin, he has ensured everything has gone smoothly and kept us up to date on all that his happening, as it has been extremely challenging due to the current situation we are in..... thank-you again.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are sorry that this is not the first time you have had to arrange a funeral with us, but we are glad that in spite of the current situation the team at Spondon once again offered excellent support and ensured that everything ran smoothly for you. Thank you.
5Deb Weetman16th Jun 2020
I had no idea how to arrange a funeral. I didn't need to worry. Fiona made it all more bearable after the death of my husband in a tragic accident.
she was natural, friendly, while maintaining professionalism. I felt I could ask anything, no matter how trivial or stupid I thought it may be. She would always give me time to talk. It felt like our family were special. The day came and everything went smoothly and again personally with the driver slowing down when we passed friends who had come out to pay their respects.
Thankyou Fiona and team.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
It was my sincere pleasure to be able to help and support you both through this heart breaking time in your lives, and I am glad that as well as tears there was also some laughter. Thank you, Fiona.

A W Lymn did an exceptional job for our mum and the family. From the first contact we made with them, Lymn's were extremely compassionate and operated with the upmost professionalism.
The whole process went smoothly and the service itself was perfect, a fitting tribute to mum.
We are extremely grateful to Nigel Lymn-Rose and Fiona Hall for the service they gave us. Adding that personnel touch goes a long way.
We would certainly recommend A W Lymn to everyone. We can't thank them enough.
