I do hope that having the familiarity of Nigel and I helping you, her and Andy through this terrible time made things a little more bearable for you all and I hope that the next time I speak with her it will be under much happier circumstances. Take care of each other. Thank you, Chloe.

    A W Lymn at Rainworth provided an excellent service for my husband's recent funeral. Right from the start the planning was meticulous and professional. They were courteous, kind and sympathetic and the help they gave during the difficult covid restrictions was outstanding making the whole process run smoothly. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Ian Barr 29th Nov 2020

    From our first call, our first visit to A.W Lymn we were treated with compassion for collecting mum to preparing and organising her funeral. Every thing was organised for us, we were kept up to date and the service was very professional. We would highly recommend to friends. Both David and Wendy helped us tremendously through this sad time.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    The best that we can ask is that you felt content and safe entrusting your Mum to our care. We are also glad that David was able to make the funeral even more special for you by taking the time to plan a meaningful route for Mum's final journey. Thank you.
  • 5 Carole Burton 27th Sep 2020

    First class service throughout the whole process David and Wendy helped put it all together especially as we didn’t live in the area and COVID restrictions. Highly recommend this firm as mum was treated with dignity and respect.  Thankyou from all the family.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    During these unusual times where it is even more difficult than usual to meet face to face prior to the funeral we are glad that Wendy and David were still able to help you put together a fitting service and that you were treated with dignity and respect throughout. Thank you.
  • 5 angela burditt 22nd Sep 2020

    Wendy was very helpful when she visited me at home to arrange my husband's funeral. She was kind and reassuring to us all at a terrible time. She arranged a viewing for the members of the family who weren't able to see their dad in hospital when he passed which was very important to them and to me.
    The funeral was just a I wished it to be. David showed us careful compassion during the journeys and the ceremony and Michael Elliott, the Celebrant chosen for us, was really very kind and spoke of all the things I couldnt say on that sad day. A real comfort.
    Also the family flowers, arranged by Lymns, were lovely.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review. We are glad that Wendy was able to help your family through their grief by allowing them the opportunity to view their Dad when they were unable to visit him in hospital. Thank you.
  • 5 Ian Clegg 15th Sep 2020

    Wendy, David and the rest of the team managed to combine professionalism and detailed organisation with real compassion so Jo's family and friends had a completely stress free day and could focus on saying goodby to her. Everyone who attened and those who managed to watch online all said it was such a fitting tribute to a wonderful, loving and loved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, wife and lover.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, particularly in regards to the compassion and support given to you by Wendy and David.

We can't thank you anymore for making our mums last day a perfect one x x
