Scott and his team at the Ilkeston Branch of A W Lymn were excellent in their handling of all the arrangements for our Dad's funeral - we could not fault them in any way. At this very difficult time for the family, they handled everything extremely efficiently and with empathy and understanding they guided us through all the arrangements that needed to be made. Thank you for your care.

Dads death was very sudden and totally unexpected. The kindness, care and professionalism of the whole team at Lymns helped us through what was a very distressing time.

  • 5 Steven Coy 16th Aug 2016

    I would describe the service we received from Lymns as outstanding. From our very first contact with Scott at the Ilkeston office to the actual day of Violets funeral every aspect was catered for. We were also looked after by Tracey in a very professional and caring manner. If I had to sum up the whole experience in one expression  it would  be that "nothing was too much trouble. " 
    I would recommend Lymns services to family or friends in the future.
