    The service that we have received from Becky, Colum, Jonathan and Andy on 2 recent occasions within our family has been amazing....
    On both occasions Becky supported us throughout the whole process taking care of every detail at such an emotional time in our lives. The team - Becky, Colum, Jonathan and Andy - were so professional. They were immaculately presented and they were so clear and articulate with instructions they were patient and understanding, compassionate, kind and caring and above all respectful.

    Thank you all of you, you are a brilliant team. Cannot thank you enough.

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied

  • 5 Irene Chapman 24th Jan 2025

    The service I and my daughters received was superb. Becky at Rainworth was extremely helpful, understanding and explained all the procedures from the very first appointment and on subsequent occasions. On the day of the committal Andrew and his team ensured that everything ran smoothly smoothly. You are a wonderful team.

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
    Thank you, Irene, for this kind review. It’s been so lovely working with you, Lindsay and Fran to arrange such a special service for Ralph. It was wonderful to see how many people wanted to come to celebrate his life with you. We’re very glad to hear that you are happy with the service that we provided, and we hope we were able to make this difficult time a little easier for you all. Thanks again, Becky & Andy
  • 5 Anne Barke 20th Dec 2024

    Couldn't fault anything about the way they arranged for the funeral of my Mum.
    They were so helpful, patient and sympathetic with the way they interacted with me at every stage. Even little things that I didn't even think of, which turned out really helpful, they did.
    I would recommend anyone go to A W Lymn at Rainworth if I was asked.
    Thank you in particular to Wendy, Becky, Max and Andy.

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
    It sincerely was an honour to support you and your family again, having originally worked with you at Rainworth when it was Hutchinson’s. It was lovely to meet with you again, albeit under such sad circumstances. Thank you, Wendy.
  • 5 Jane Islip 23rd Nov 2024

    Absolutely first class service. Becky was amazing in helping us to sort everything out and always empathic and caring. Edward on the day of the funeral was truly exceptional is taking charge of the running and making sure it all went as smoothly as possible for us.
    All the staff are immaculately dressed and so helpful and professional. Sadly, this is my third time in using A W Lymn of Rainworth and on all occasions they have been exceptional.

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
    Jane and family, at such a difficult time for you all we thank you for such wonderfully kind words. Becky and I were terribly saddened to have been called upon once again in such a short period of time to serve your family. The send off you arranged for Dave was wonderful. After the Rolls Royce hearse and then the horsedrawn cortege, I am pleased you found the final leg of his journey in our ‘rescue hearse’ appropriate due to the weather conditions, with Dave’s love for Land Rovers! The bearers were excellent and should be very proud, as we all know Dave would have been of them. We wish you all well moving forward and know our thoughts and sympathies are with you. Thank you. Edward

  • 5 Linda Woodward Payne 9th Nov 2024

    At such a sad time we needed help. Becky and Max were there to help and guide us. Jonathan was there at the funeral to ensure things went smoothly and the Celebrant, Anya, was calm and reassuring throughout the Service. All in all we couldn't have got through it without you and I think we all did Mum proud. Thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
    Thank you, Linda, for this lovely review. We’re so pleased we could be there for you all at this very sad time and it’s great to hear that everyone provided the best service possible.

  • 5 Sarah Harness 8th Nov 2024

    Our funeral arranger Becky was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, sympathetic, and nothing was too much trouble. The drivers on the day were fantastic too and again nothing was too much trouble to make sure my mum had the send off she deserved. I would thoroughly recommend this family company to anyone having to arrange a funeral for a loved one. You will be in safe hands and their care and professionalism makes a really difficult time much easier knowing all the details are being taken care of. 

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
    Thank you, Sarah, for taking the time to leave this wonderful review.

    Becky provided a respectful and compassionate service explaining everything that needed to be done in a very professional way.

  • 5 Anne Day 24th Jun 2024

    After walking into the Rainworth branch not knowing what to say, how to start with organising a funeral as this was my 'first' time dealing with anything like this Becky met me at the door took everything in hand and guided me through everything.

    Absolute star, Becky needs bottling, I couldn't have asked for a better person to help.

    The eve before the funeral another member of staff rang me, 'Jonathan' just to guide me through the morning of the funeral and to ask of any minute alterations.

    Jonathan was so kind when we met and gave my late mum the respect she deserved.

    I have given 5 stars because it's thoroughly worth it. Albeit a small funeral I felt we were given the best service.

    A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
    Thank you Anne for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. It’s great to hear that you were so happy with our help and guidance and that we were able to make this difficult time a little easier for you. It’s been such a pleasure working with you to create a beautiful service for Elizabeth. Thanks again, Becky & Jonathan.
