My brother and I found the whole process carried out by A.W Lymn, to be excellent from start to finish. Everything was dealt with by Russell and Ellie, in a sensitive and caring way, from the initial talk, to the actual funeral. All our questions were answered and we were guided expertly through the whole process. A difficult and sad time was made easier by the professionalism of all the staff at the Arnold branch.

5Deanne Taylor25th Jan 2019
Always a superb service
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Deanne, The team at our Arnold office, being Beryl, Ellie, and Russell, âall had a soft spot and immense admiration for Sylvia. Arnold will never seem the same without our neighbour who popped in regularly prior to her move to assisted care and whom our staff continued to visit after that move. It was a privilege tinged with great sadness to be asked to look after the arrangements for our friend Sylvia. Thank you for your kind words. Nigel Lymn Rose.

5Barbara Eustace6th Jan 2019
I was in two minds as to if I should rate as excellent - how can a funeral of a loved one be described as such? But the management of this sad occasion was undertaken in a very professional manner, as always. The celebrant used just the right tone for the service, and it was a commemoration of my mothers life.
I would use again, but having said that, I hope that's a long time in the future.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this very kind and balanced review of the service provided our the team at Arnold. We completely understand your dilemma in relation to the rating system but unfortunately this seems to be the way these things now have to work. We are however glad that everything was just as you had wanted on the day. Thank you.

5Susan Bowler18th Nov 2018
This is a very professional, caring company who were absolutely fantastic during our time of grieving. Not experiencing a family death, Ellie was exceptional from the moment we asked her to care for our dad. The celebrant Cheryl was outstanding. Many friends talked about Cheryl at Dad's wake- she was a credit to her profession and made a very sad time, memorable for all the right reasons. Thank you A.W Lymn, Ellie and Cheryl.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are pleased that Ellie looked after you so well right from your very first meeting with her and have forwarded your review onto Cheryl so she can see the kind words you have written. Thank you.
