This is the first time i have had to organise a funeral and we dealt with David Clarke. He walked us through everything step by step and didn't try and sell us anything extra.
He was genuine, empathetic and very professional. This made a very difficult time easier to cope with and organise.
He is a credit to his profession and the company he works for Lymns.

David at Lymn Rainworth provided an impeccable service in difficult circumstances as we lived a 2 hour drive away.
The arrangements worked perfectly and the service was most moving. I would strongly recommend them for professionalism, care, diligence and empathy.

Thank you to Lymn Rainworth, for making sure Mum's funeral was exactly to our wishes. Everything was beautiful; the cars, the order of service and the flowers were exceptional. David was very kind, caring and respectful and kept in touch with us to confirm that all of the arrangements were to our expectations. Thank you to David and everyone involved. Mum would have been very proud.

As a local Church Minister I have always found the staff at Lymns, helpful and professional as we support families together at difficult times.
My personal experience recently on the death of my mum was dealt with kindness and empathy and all I could have asked for to help me and my family.
David, Funeral Director was kind and courteous, as he always is.

Excellent and caring service at this bad time, first class organisation of the funeral itself which was very well conducted and enabled a good balance between Government Covid Lockdown requirements and our emotional needs. I have no hesitation in recommending AW Lymn's

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.
