From making the initial phone call to after the funeral everyone at A W Lymn have been amazing. Truly understanding, providing guidance and most importantly allowing the time you need to make those decisions. So pleased I chose them for my parents funeral, cannot recommend them enough

At a time of grief this company has such a professional and caring approach to possibly the worst job on the planet. Methodical and meticulous in their approach it is very easy to give them a 5 star.

Our family have used Lymn’s on many occasions and they never disappoint. This time they excelled move more. From our first meeting with Emma, and the caring follow ups, all was calm, emotionally intelligent, professional and reassuring. Our family from the USA were really impressed with the quality if service.
The cars are stunning, the bearers and senior staff brilliant and, as for Cheryl Smith, our lovely celebrant - she was more than we could have expected. She took time, listened, there was no rush and she captured our loved one perfectly.
The service at Gedling Crematorium went without a hitch, it’s a lovely setting. The Orders of Service were so good too.
All in all a sad but wonderfully uplifting experience - I can and will recommend Lymn’s without any reservation. Thank you.

Even the smallest detail was carefully taken care of during the organisation period.
On the day of the funeral, every thing went smoothly due to the planning beforehand and the considerate guidance from the funeral vehicle drivers and assistants.
The service A.W. Lymn provided was second to none.

Barbara thank you for the lovely review, I am so glad that all our careful planning beforehand meant that all went smoothly on the day. Emma
5Joy & Barry Chamberlain23rd Nov 2021
We wanted a very simple funeral for Mum as was her wish. The service from Lymns was excellent and in spite of the simplicity, their provision was absolutely golden in its quality. From the moment we met Russell at home we felt in safe hands. He was softly spoken and respectful at this extremely difficult time. We were never encouraged to take on more than we wanted or spend more money, he helped us to organise everything within our means and ensured that the plan was perfect.
Lymns were in constant communication throughout the days before the funeral usually via Beryl & Emma who were extremely helpful and supportive.
On the day of the funeral we were organised beautifully with kindness, respect and courtesy. There was no rushing or clock watching, we were treated with sensitivity. The whole team was fantastic and Andrew drove us with such care to the Crematorium.
We cannot thank the team at Lymns enough for their care throughout the whole process which is one of the most difficult times for families. We trusted them implicitly and would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a funeral organiser whatever their budget.
Thank you all so very much.
Joy, Barry & Ken
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
I’m so pleased that the service we provided to you from start to finish went so well. We believe that a funeral is unique to each person, therefore the service and products we would provide to you would always be in line of your wishes. Thank you so much for your kind words and if there is anything else we can ever do to support you either now or in the future please just ask. Russ.
5Jane Casterton16th Nov 2021
The service provided was 100% caring and sensitive
This is the second time we have used Lymns in 7 months
Firstly, for our step mother and latterly for our father. Russ was our assistant. We really felt he held our hand and was so helpful.
The webcast provided was well used by many who could not attend. It was also very user friendly. We hope that we will not be seeking funeral services again but Lymns are definitely our go to funeral directors
Thanks so much

A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
It was a privilege to be able to assist you again with the arrangements for Dad’s funeral and I’m pleased you felt well guided at the time of each funeral. I do however quite understand you not wishing to see us again too soon! Thank you, Russ.
5Breda Dale 14th Nov 2021
AW Lymn's, based in Arnold, have been so supportive and helpful following the passing of my Dad in October. Emma, Beryl, Louise and Nigel have been professional and supportive and guided us through the processes we needed to navigate. Thank you so much for your help.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your so very kind review. It was an honour to be present at your father’s funeral and to hear the wonderful accolades about the amazing achievements he had made in his life and the devotion he had to his wonderful family and to the Church of the Good Shepherd. Again thank you for your comments on behalf of all at our family company. Nigel Lymn Rose.
5Sarah 9th Nov 2021
Looked after dad with such grace and dignity. On the day of dad's funeral Russel who looked after us was so nice, they bought dad home and did a drive by his place of work, they did so much and made a very hard day into a beautiful one.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
I am so pleased that the service we provided to you was the best it could be for a hard day. It was great to see at least 120 people at the service which proved that Trevor was such a popular and well respected man and I thought the inclusion of the VW campervan hearse really personalised the service. Thank you, Russ.

5John Landon29th Oct 2021
The only comment we would like to make is attention to detail when dressing... mum's buttons on her cardigan were not buttoned up properly which I had to address as she was a very meticulous dresser.. just a point to think on for future reference, apart from that everything was perfect.. thank you.. staff very helpful and kind
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
We are pleased that you thought all went perfect with the service we provided for the funeral, other than the buttons on the cardigan of course. We are sorry that you felt disappointed with this. We have taken this on board for the future so thank you for this constructive feedback. Russ.

5Linda Scott12th Oct 2021
The service provided by Lymns was excellent, a date was arranged with a quick turn around and whilst initially I worried whether everything would be sorted in time, it soon became clear that everything was under control. The teamwork shown on the day was second to none and each member of staff involved played their part respectfully. The celebrant suggested (Anja) was professional and the perfect person for the job. Thanks to everyone involved on the day including Emma and Beryl.

Thank you for such lovely words for the team at Arnold and I am glad you were happy with the choice of celebrant. Emma
