Dear Jasmin, its not often I get to meet the person who has passed away, the majority of the time I just meet the families and listen to the wonderful life of the person we look after in our care, however I was lucky enough to meet Bob when arranging his pre-paid funeral. It was so lovely having met Bob and seeing for myself what a truly wonderful man he was. Thank you for putting your trust in myself and us all at A W Lymn Ilkeston Thank you Michelle

We were delighted with the care and respect shown to our brother from the first moment of contact. Â The attention to detail was second to none.

Dear Joanne and family, Its not very often I get to meet the person who passed away, but meeting Phil and yourself last year when discussing the pre-paid funeral, I feel like I have been on the journey with you all to make sure all Phil’s wishes were met to his high standards. Phil’s larger than life presence and his big cheeky smile and the twinkle in his eyes, its easy to see why he will be so dearly missed. Thank you again for allowing me to look after you all and on the day you really did him proud. Thank you again from Michelle and Julia and all at A W Lymn Ilkeston.
5Samantha Taft 20th Apr 2024
A. W. Lymn’s at Ilkeston were amazing from start to finish. I had no idea what I was doing, and I was looked after step by step and everything was explained really clearly. I made initial plans which needed to be changed a few days before the funeral, Michelle was amazing in doing so. Nothing was too much of a problem. All the stress was taken off me at this already difficult time. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much. X
