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 t ... o 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. more

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 professiona ... lism. 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.

    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.

  • 5 Marcia Brown 1st Nov 2024

    I can’t thank Jess from A.W. Lymn Arnold, Funeral Directors enough for her incredible support during one of the hardest times in my life. Organizing my Uncle’s funeral in Nottingham, while I was based in Birmingham, felt overwhelming. From the very start, Jess was friendly, supportive, and incredibly helpful. She explained the entire process thoroughly, sourced a Baptist minister and an organist, and guided us on where to conduct the service. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and whenever I called, she made me feel welcome and reassured that I could reach out anytime.
    On the day of the funeral, Mark and his team were outstanding. Mark took charge of every detail from start to finish, allowing me to focus on my family and say a proper goodbye to my Uncle. Thanks to their professionalism, understanding, and genuine care, the entire service went smoothly, and we were able to give my Uncle a beautiful send-off. I’m deeply grateful for the compassion and expertise they showed, and I hi ... ghly recommend A.W. Lymn for anyone in need of funeral services. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done. more

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Dear Marcia, thank you for taking your time to write these most heart-warming comments and for leaving us a five-star review! It’s greatly appreciated. It was a privilege to support you from the very beginning of your uncles’ funeral arrangements. I certainly remember saying that living in Birmingham wouldn’t be an issue and we’d still make everything just as special for him as well as making it as easy as possible for you and it makes us all pleased to hear we managed to succeed!
    It’s great to hear Mark and the team were outstanding on the day allowing your uncle to have a beautiful send off.
    Once again thank you!
    Jess, Mark & the team.
  • 5 Lisbeth Banner 25th Oct 2024

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Dear Lisbeth, Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review of our services at the Arnold Office and for your high appraisal of my Colleagues. I’m so very sorry that it has been necessary to have had to instruct us following the very sad loss of your deeply loved Father.

  • 5 Michael Jeffery 14th Sep 2024

    At this very difficult time, Jess, Jodie and Beryl have been remarkable. Very thoughtful, professional and nothing was too much trouble. They arranged mine and family visits to see Karen. Jess stayed with me the first time to make sure I was ok, then left me alone with Karen once I was comfortable. Communication has been excellent. Russell was so respectful when Karen arrived home first for her funeral. Very professional and we felt in safe hands. I did thank Lymns at Karen’s funeral. They made a terrible experience more bearable for myself and family. There is also great communication between Lymn and Kelly & co at the crematorium. Thank you all so very much. You did Karen and myself proud. Well done. Mick. 

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Mick, we cannot thank you enough for your lovely words and review. It has been an absolute pleasure to support you with the arrangements and service for your lovely Karen, the stories you shared showed what an incredible woman she was. We are so pleased we could give Karen the service she deserved and for her to go home like you wanted. Thank you again from all here at Arnold, Jodie Jess Russell & Beryl.
