5Wendy Honeyman-smith26th May 2017
This is such a sad time, but the funeral for my Father was superb, and really helped us in our bereavement. AW Lymn gave us great personal service and really listened to what we wanted, we were able to put all our confidence in them and concentrate on saying goodbye. Ellie and Russell were both very professional, but warm and friendly too. Ellie put us in touch with Sarah Willis, a wonderful celebrant who worked with us to provide a service that did justice to my Father. Every detail of the day itself went without a hitch, and I must say that the new crematorium at Gedling is lovely.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this kind and detailed review. We are pleased that the warm, kind and professional manner of Ellie and Russell gave you the confidence to entrust the funeral arrangements to them alleviating some of the worry for you at this sad time. We are also glad to hear your positive words about both Sarah Willis and the crematorium at Gedling.

Extremely considerate and well organised funeral services.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
David. It was a pleasure to serve you and your family and I am pleased that you found the service provided by me and Ellie and my staff at Arnold to be as you would have wished. On a personal note I would say how I found that there was a lovely warm feeling at the funeral ceremony which I think was helped by the fact that you selected a Saturday for the service and consequently there were no other families at the Crematorium. Thank you for the very kind feedback.

5Lesley Danby17th Apr 2017
We were helped almost every step of the way with the funeral arrangements for my brother in law. Ellie, who dealt with most, if not all of this for us was superb. She was so helpful with everything, there was nothing that was too much trouble for her. On the day of the funeral everything went smoothly and all A.W. Lymn staff were brilliant and so helpful. Couldn't fault any of it and would certainly recommend them.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

5Robert Matthews15th Apr 2017
A.W. Lymn (Arnold) provided an excellent service in what were difficult circumstances at the time of my mum's passing. Ellie was our first point of contact and has been very professional throughout keeping us updated with what to do next and giving advice on how to proceed.
Everything provided has been of the highest quality from the coffin, the flowers & order of service, to the hearse and cars, pall bearers and drivers. Lymn's made a difficult time as pleasant as could be and did mum and us proud.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your positive and detailed review, we are glad that you found everything to be of the highest standard and that Ellie and the rest of the team at Arnold did your Mum proud at this sad time. Thank you.

4Janet Howland2nd Apr 2017
Only complaint was: I was led to believe that if payment for the funeral was made in advance a reduction was applied however it was not possible to do this as invoices are not sent out till afterwards.
Otherwise everything else was excellent
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this positive review of the service provided by the team at our Arnold Office. We are however sorry that you felt that you missed out on the early settlement discount due to our invoicing procedure but hope that Ellieâs subsequent explanation and offer to extend the discount as a one off gesture was appreciated by you and your family. Thank you.
Professional, right level of sympathy, did not push us to go for expensive options. Everything went according to plan. Thank you.
