The best funeral directors you could wish for during the worst of times. Wendy and her team made sure all our Grandmother's wishes were executed to perfection. Can not thank them enough.

It was a wonderful time from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble for Jonathan and I was made to feel relaxed about the whole thing. The video we had made was fantastic and I’m so pleased that I used this service. It was wonderful to watch afterwards and for family members from afar who could not attend to be able to watch the whole ceremony. Everything was just perfect and dad would have loved the whole thing. We really did him proud with Lymns help,care and advice. I could not have wished for more. What could have been a traumatic time turned out to be a wonderful, warm experience.
Thankyou all so much. Elaine Hall

It is set in lovely rural surroundings and has a beautiful service chapel, family rooms, visiting rooms, cold room facilities, washing facilities for specific funeral rites, plenty of parking and a full fleet of hearse and limousines.

Jonathan Baker is the area manager and the office is staffed by funeral directors Andy Askew and Stacey Burman and funeral arranger Wendy Walker & Max Whitehouse, who will be more than pleased to assist you during office hours, which are Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5pm and on Saturday from 9 am to 12.30 pm.
If you need assistance outside of these hours, please call the telephone number at any time and the office can be opened for you at your convenience.

From the very outset of our family loss the service has been excellent. As far as we could tell Staff looked after mr O’Brien with compassion and care throughout. Leading up to and on the day of the funeral the family received excellent support. The friendly and professional service made a very difficult time more manageable. Thank you to all the team for your kindness and help.

Hard to contact
Matthew Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to discuss the contact issues with me personally. As you are now aware a part of our telephone system had broken, and your calls were therefore going to our other offices around Nottinghamshire. I can only apologise for this, as I appreciate that on the afternoon before your husband's funeral that left you feeling un-nerved. I am only pleased that the funeral itself went well, and that the staff locally looked after things professionally for you. Thank you.

We would like to Thankyou all so much for your professionalism, kindness and respect on Friday for the Farewell of Margaret Metheringham.
The compassion of your staff is second to none.
Little details like ‘Remember Me’ feather pouch and also the little purse with returned earrings are the perfect touch. I will always remember the stubborn Dove who wanted to stay a little longer and the way the gentleman coaxed her out of the tree.
Will recommend always.
Thanks again.
Sarah-Jayne Beard.

I am really glad that the little touches meant so much to you and your family at this difficult time and am pleased that the dove staying a bit longer helped raise a smile and leave a happy memory. Thank you, Jonathan.
