From start to finish my mum’s funeral was perfect. Absolutely breath taking the horse’s and carriage was. Ushers were all so lovely, caring and helpful. Michelle in the office was brilliant I personally thanked her the day after my mum’s funeral. Church was beautiful. Priest put my words about mum altogether beautifully. Can not thank them all enough.

From start to finish everything was amazing. The staff were supportive towards all of the family (Michelle especially) nothing was ever too much trouble. They knew just the right things to say on the day that would make us smile/laugh through the tears. Everything we said was listened to and then they would oversee things to make it as easy as possible for us to deal with. I would certainly recommend to anyone.

From start to finish everything was sorted efficiently, professionally and with care.
Michelle was very attentive and responsive to emails and calls. We felt reassured that everything was in safe hands and we didn’t need to worry about any of the arrangements- they were all in hand. Thank you.

Thank you, Kadie, for these kind words. I know the funeral plan was already in place and pre-arranged, but it was a pleasure putting it all together with you. Mums funeral was fit for the special woman she was and you really did her proud. I have to agree the Horses were breath-taking with the pink plumes, I had members of the public approach me to say the same as they went through the town. Thank you again for letting us look after you all, from Michelle, Mick and the team at Ilkeston

We cannot thank you all enough for the compassion, understanding and detail you provided to us all. Mum’s funeral plan, arranged many years ago, was followed precisely, she would be so pleased to know that. Unfortunately Nicky (thank you Nicky for the detail regarding Mum’s age) was unable to be with us on the day but Neil (a gentle giant) provided excellent service on your company’s behalf. Be proud of the service you provide and thank everyone again. You helped and supported us through a difficult time. Thank you, Alma’s family x

The service provided from the day of my Dad's death to the performance at the funeral was nothing short of exceptional, the team at Lymns were superb. You took a massive weight off my sister and my shoulders.
Professional and empathetic with nothing being too much trouble, means I could do no other than fully recommend the team here. Thank you very much for your support at this difficult time.

We found Lymns funeral services excellent. They were very compassionate and took their time to make sure we were able to have the funeral for my Dad that was right for us has a family. Mark who did the eulogy was very kind and gave us time to talk about Dad so he was able to really deliver the eulogy has if he knew him. He was very kind.
I would recommend them.

5Robert Max Biddulph26th Apr 2022
If there's any consolation amidst the sad feelings of losing a loved one, then it has to be got to be the quality of the send off. In this regard the funeral arrangements executed by A W Lymn were excellent. At the outset, the conversation between ourselves and Nikki struck a good balance between being empathic and practical. The costs of each element were transparent and there was no pressure to have a particular service - in this regard I felt that the overall package was customer-lead. Special mention needs to be made of the order of service booklet which was beautifully personalised and the funeral flowers which were lovely. On the day, the arrangements worked like clockwork thanks to the very slick co-ordination of the funeral director and the A W Lymn team at the crematorium. The phone call the previous day from the director established a dialogue between us and was reassuring in that it added clarity to the timings, process etc. Again, I felt that the mood was 'read' and appropriately responded to. Overall, we are very satisfied with the overall package and level of professionalism delivered and I would like to convey my thanks to all the A W Lymn staff involved.
A.W. Lymn, Ilkeston Team replied
Dear Robert, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, I really am grateful to you. It was a privilege for me, and all the staff involved, to look after you and your family following the sad loss of your much loved Mother and I'm truly glad that you felt reassured throughout. My kindest regards, Nicola.
