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 servic ... e 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.

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.❤️ more

  • 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.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you Lexi for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I’m pleased to hear how the team at Beeston supported you through this difficult time. Kindest regards, Kirby Cranshaw.
  • 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
