    We had previously had Lymn's for my dad's funeral four years ago, and were so impressed then, that we decided to have them again for mum's yesterday. They are extremely friendly, kind and sensative, and very professional. David Combe, at the Mansfield branch, always has time for you, never tries to rush you, and goes through every aspect of planning the funeral with you, with great care and understsnding. I would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Christine Cook 17th Feb 2018

    They did an excellent job. Would recommend them . Where very caring . The only thing that was not right was some music for remembering the deceased in the middle. It was the right title on our cd we gave them , but a different version with just piano music , ours had other musical instruments in it with piano in the background. So it sounded completely different. Did not spoil the day though. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased that David took great care of you during this sad time and would thank you for your kind review and recommendation. We are however very sorry that there was an issue with the version of music played during the service but were not aware of this until receipt of your review. If you would like us to investigate this further for you please do not hesitate to get in touch with David so that he can get the full details from you. Thank you.
  • 5 Joseph Summerville 13th Feb 2018

    Thank you for making a difficult time easier. We didn’t use the online notification as most of the guest preferred telephone contact. But I like the idea of on line even though we didn’t utilise it.

    Thank you for your feedback on the online system, we appreciate that it is not for everyone but are glad you can see that it could be of benefit to some families. We are glad that David professional support made this difficult time a little easier for you. Thank you.
