    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.

  • 5 Robert Max Biddulph 26th 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.

    From the second my darling Grandad passed, A.W. Lymns have been nothing but supportive. They assisted my grandma and myself along every step of the way and have been accomodating, honest and reliable at a very upsetting time. Thank you so much. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this family orientated company.

  • 5 Christine Judd 10th Aug 2021

    Nicola and the team did an excellent job arranging and carrying out my mums funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and they all genuinely care about the families they come in contact with. We couldn't get the same celebrant as we had previously for my Dads funeral so Nicola put me in touch with an a lady called Tracey Matthews. Tracey carried out the service perfectly. She worked really hard, perfecting every detail. Would highly recommend both Lymns and Tracey to anybody requiring a funeral service.

    A.W. Lymn, Ilkeston Team replied
    Thank you for your kind words from me and all the staff that were involved with your mother funeral. It was an honour to take care of you all and I am really pleased that Tracey's service was perfect. Nicola.
