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 Nottingha ... m, 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 highly recommend A.W. Lymn for anyone in need of funeral services. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done.more

5Michael 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.

5Michael Tate 29th Jul 2024
From our initial meeting with Jessica at the Arnold branch to discuss Mum's funeral and our subsequent discussions and contacts with Jodie, nothing was too much trouble to arrange the perfect funeral and send off for Mum.
All the little extras we requested including flowers, music, Order of Service were arranged for us.
On the day of the funeral, everything we asked for was carried out to an exceptionally high standard. Paul and his staff were sympathetic and courteous towards all the family members and nothing was too much trouble.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lymn for anyone wanting to arrange a funeral in the future
