  • 5 Lexi Murphy 21st Oct 2024

    Thank you to Donna and everyone who was involved in helping me arrange my Mum's, Celebration of Life. There were no issues and during a very sad and difficult time, everyone involved helped me every step of the way. The professionalism, attention to detail and empathy was there all the way through. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.

  • 5 Peter Turnley 21st Oct 2024

    Lymn's were excellent in every aspect of arranging a funeral, making a difficult process as easy as possible. They were available for drop-in in-person visits when needed but were also quick to turn things around by phone and e-mail. Lymns's were flexible to requests, in our case, we wanted an order of service design that was not in their catalogue and they delivered without issue.
    Lymn's literally took care of everything in a highly professional yet compassionate and empatetic way.
    On the day of the funeral, their service was truely exceptional and they also attended the scattering a few days after with some prepared yet lovely poems that they read as a small personal service once we had chosen the spot to scatter.
    I would highly recommend Lymn's to help anyone through the very difficult process of arranging a funeral.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Peter, may I thank you for such a wonderful review of your experience with our team at Beeston. Your words mean such a lot to us all. Thank you for your valued recommendation. Sending our warmest regards to you and your family, Kirby Cranshaw
