5Janice Mighten 20th Feb 2025
From the day we initiated the plan the service we received has been exemplary! Due to mobility issues and ill health dad could not get to the office easily therefore someone came to his home to assist with a funeral plan. Prior to the funeral all the preparation, guidance and support was second to none! Jess & Jodie went above and beyond to ensure that everything was in place, in addition he was dressed very well and looked dapper. Russell and the team were very professional, kind, considerate and delivered a service with compassion for me and the family on the day thank you all.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
Janice, Thank you so much for your kind words, he certainly did look smart that’s for sure! We are pleased that everything was professional, and we could support your family in every way we could. Your feedback and kind words are much appreciated – Jodie, Jess & Russ.

5Sheena Arun12th Feb 2025
Being in a new country and facing bereavement for the first time was incredibly overwhelming. However, from the very beginning, the AWLYNN team demonstrated the utmost professionalism. I'd like to express our sincere gratitude to Jess for patiently guiding us through the UK funeral process. She meticulously explained everything, addressing all our questions and concerns with care and compassion. Her support in helping us decide what was best for our friend was invaluable, and we will always be grateful. We also deeply appreciate Coby's efforts in managing the funeral arrangements. He ensured our comfort, treated us with empathy, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We extend our thanks to the receptionists and other staff members as well. Your kindness, empathy, and care were a tremendous source of support during this difficult time. The service you provided was truly world-class, and we appreciate it immensely.

Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your very kind comments and appraisal. Jackie, Paul and I are so pleased that Father John’s funeral progressed the way that you would have wanted. From our point of view it was both a privilege and an honour to be charged with his funeral as in his role as a parish minister he would have known all the local funeral directors. Again thank you.
