As a family we always use AW Lymn because you are always professional and never disappoint. You were considerate, supportive, compassionate and patient. Your celebrant Malcom conducted an excellent service, capturing my husband perfectly. Mark looked after my elderly mother in law who was in a wheel chair ensuring she was comfortable and never rushed. I am sincerely grateful.

This is the 2nd time that Lymn’s Arnold have supported us in 2017 following the death of our Mum and recently with the death of our dad. On both occasions the professional and caring service has been greatly appreciated. Nothing is too much trouble and the kindness and reassurance along the way is just what you need when something as sad as a loved one passing away has just taken place . Thank you 🙏

We are sorry that it has been necessary for you to require our services twice in recent years but we are truly grateful to you for entrusting us again with helping you through this tough time and we are glad that you were once again treated with kindness and professionalism. Thank you.
