Always there for me (and Ivis). Never judgmental , though amused/bemused sometimes. Felt they saw us as family

I was happy with everything that was asked of A.W. Lymn (Beeston). They buried my sister in 1997 and my mother in 2025. I would use again if I had to arrange another funeral.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Helen, thank you for your kind words, but It was a privilege to help you, your sisters and all your family to say farewell to Dad, in a way that was special and meaningful. We are always here to answer questions, to give advice and help, even after the funeral. I am really pleased we helped with the stress at a very difficult time, and it means a lot to us to know we have done what we needed to do for you and all your family.

  • 5 Michael Robert Collins 29th Mar 2025

    My family’s experience using lymms was very positive and friendly.

     I Lona was fantastic and professional and she made the whole process effortless and less complex than it initially felt it was going to be. She had the ability to listen and interpret our ideas to tailor make the funeral to our exact needs

    The staff generally were extremely sensitive and respectful in a potentially difficult and emotional situation 

    The celebrant was fantastic and very kind and sensitive to my family’s feelings and supported us through the day of the funeral and delivered a professional eulogy and gave us physical support and guidance 

    All in all a very incredible positive experience 

    Thank you

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you so much for this lovely review Michael. It was truly an honour to assist yourself and Kevin with organising your dads funeral. I understand how difficult this time was for you and I am glad I could be there to help you through the process. I’m pleased to hear Mark helped create a meaningful service and that you felt supported on the day by the staff.
    Thank you for trusting me during this time.

    At a time of great personal sadness, the professionalism, reverence and courtesy of all the staff made the entire funerary process as seamless as it could possibly be.

    With the greatest of respect, I hope not to be using their services again in the near future; But, would heartily recommend anyone else facing such requirements.

  • 5 Ajay Mathur 17th Feb 2025

    Ilona's compassionate guidance gave me the confidence that everything would run well, which it did. Phillip, our funeral director on the day, demonstrated exemplary professionalism while handling arrangements with both precision and quiet dignity. Malcolm, the celebrant, went above and beyond by taking time to understand my wife's unique life story, ultimately crafting a deeply personalised tribute that truly honoured her memory. Each team member's dedication created a meaningful farewell. Thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you, Ajay for these kind words. It was an absolute honour to be able to assist you with the service for Iciar.
    I am really glad Philip as well as Malcolm were able to look after you as well.
    Sending best wishes to you and all of your family for the future,
    Ilona, Philip, Malcolm & The Beeston Team
  • 5 Paul Newton 9th Feb 2025

    I used the Beeston office and I found them very supportive throughout the process. They had a structured approach to gathering all the information required for the committal service to proceed exactly as we wanted.
    We were able to look at different elements and decide which were suitable, with no pressure to take more expensive elements. We were also given time to reflect on the choices available and consult with other members of the family before deciding.
    On the day of the committal, they were present unobtrusively but ensuring that everything went smoothly/

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you Paul, for taking the time to leave such a kind review, it is really appreciated by us all. I’m pleased to hear of your positive experience with the whole team at Beeston. I’m sure your words will bring that same comfort and reassurance to other families. Sending our best wishes, Kirby, Ilona and the team.

  • 5 Mark Foreman 16th Jan 2025

    I would highly recommend A W Lymn after having them conduct the funeral for my late mother.
    In particular, from the initial meeting to the end of the service Kirby was amazing!
    Her knowledge and advice was very much appreciated, as was her caring and compassionate manner. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was taken care of.
    She was also aided by Ilona based at the Beeston branch who was very kind and members from other branches to drive the cars and bear the coffin which were both pleasant and professional.
    The service was conducted Mark, the Civil Celebrant who took the time to learn about mum and added character and depth to the service which she would have loved.
    We’ve had many comments regarding how lovely the service was, how well the day was organised and how dignified mums final send off was.
    Genuinely, and under the circumstances the day couldn’t have gone any better…thank you so much.❤️

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Mark, thank you so much for your super kind review, you know how much it means to us. It was a real privilege to get to know you and your family over the time we spent together and I thank you for allowing us to take care of Mum. Sending our love and best wishes to everyone, from Kirby (eternal ice-scraper), Ilona (who didn’t tie a single purple bow) and Tall Tom.
