4Roger Hale15th Jun 2021
Well organised, pleasant efficient people to deal with. Unfortunately there was a cock-up with one of the pieces of music in the service which was not the fault of the funeral directors. Only other criticism of the funeral was that the sound quality at the Gedling Crematory was poor (which was my choice of venue)
Jackie Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to review our services, it was most unfortunate that an incorrect piece of music was downloaded and that you found the sound quality to be poor, a matter that we will raise with the crematorium .

5Julie Grant 6th Jun 2021
I am really happy with the services from A W Lynn. All dealt with me compassionately and with great care at what was a very difficult time. Never having to have dealt with a funeral before Emma talked me through everything involved from registering the death, ensuring my mum was looked after at the funeral parlour, requirements for the cremation, choosing the Celebrant and sorting out the charity donations which we had instead of flowers. She was with me every step of the way and couldn't have been more caring and helpful. Mark, who looked after us at the service and the bearers were so good and very respectful. The Celebrant who was chosen for me was so kind and considerate and brilliant with my dad who was obviously in great distress at losing is wife of 62 years.
All in all they made a dreadful day so much more bearable. Thank you.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
Julie, thank you for such lovely words of feedback, it was an honour to look after you ensuring Mum received the final send-off she deserved and I am glad you felt supported all the way through the process. I knew Victoria would be the perfect choice to look after the service and help Dad say that last goodbye. Thank you, Emma.

5Dawn Adams1st Jun 2021
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.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. I am pleased that we lived up to our previous high standards once again and provided a considerate, supportive and compassionate service.
