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.

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.

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.

We dealt with the branch at Rainworth, Nottinghamshire and Wendy who was dealing with us was very compassionate and very professional. The funeral on the day went very smoothly and nothing was too much trouble.

From the first visit to Wendy to make arrangements everybody was so kind and considerate - I know it's their job - but they all went above and beyond. When I called in to hand in more donations I was handed a Memory Box which I and my family thought was a lovely gesture, which I shall keep and treasure. Thanking everyone concerned you made a sad day a little easier to handle

Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased that Wendy and her team looked after you and your grand-daughter so well during the arrangements and are glad that you like the memory box.
