5Ellen Munroe29th Jul 2024
The care and support I received from my very first contact with Sarah at A.W.Lymn
to the actual funeral service has been outstanding. At all times she went over and above expectations to meet our every need. The advice and support I was given throughout the planning and decision making process was of the very highest standard.
The organisation of the day and the professionalism shown by all of the staff involved was also excellent.
I could not have asked for better service and commitment and I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm at such a difficult time . I had received a number of price quotes from various firms before I chose A.W. Lymn. Their quote seemed the fairest and the best value for money. It certainly was and I am so glad I did eventually choose them. Thank you.
