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.

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.

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

At such a sad time we needed help. Becky and Max were there to help and guide us.

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.

5Anne Day24th 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.

Thank you to Wendy and Becky for the time that was spent with us in organising our much loved mums funeral. Andy was brilliant on the day, not rushing any us . The driver of the 100 year old Rolls Royce was lovely. Everything and everyone was turned out immaculately. The bearers were very respectful. The day couldn’t have gone any better and our mum would have been proud of the whole occasion. We miss our mum so much and Lymn’s were every bit respectful the whole of the time.
