5Robert Prentice22nd Jul 2017
I have nothing but praise for the way Lymn's handled my mother's funeral arrangements. From the moment that they collected her body from the nursing home where she died to the funeral itself, Lymns proved themselves to be supportive, understanding and compassionate throughout.
I have particular praise for Donna Conroy, who took me and my family through the process in a calm and compassionate manner, which was extremely comforting when we were going through the grieving process. She went beyond the call of duty in helping my brother and sister in law to arrange flights from their home in Spain so that they could attend our mother's funeral.
Donna also had to deal with some sensitive family issues, which she did in a very professional manner.
Once again thank you for helping us through this extremely difficult and emotional time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Both Donna and I would like to thank you for this very kind and detailed review of the service she provided at that sad time of making your Mother's funeral arrangements. We are pleased that she was able to go over and above, helping you with travel arrangements and sensitive family issues, as well as helping you arrange a fitting funeral and supporting you with your grief. Thank you.

Donna at Lymns in Beeston, Nottingham was professional from the moment we met; everything was arranged, planned and delivered to perfection. There was obvious team effort and it felt like we were their main focus throughout the entire process. At a terrible time in our lives, we could not have wished for a better funeral. Thank you so much.

Many thanks to Adrienne, Richard and the team at A.W. Lymn at Beeston, who helped me immensely during a difficult time. The service was well organized with great dignity and respect, which was appreciated by all present. The streaming webcast from Bramcote enabled many distant friends and family to participate also, adding much value.

5Lynn Hazzledine19th Jun 2017
From the initial phone call Lymns were sensitive and professional. Our meeting with Adrienne to arrange the funeral was comprehensive and reassuring; she carefully explained things and took full account of my wishes. I felt fully supported and confident at all times and particularly on the day. Richard was superb at the funeral, looking after us and guiding us throughout whilst at the same time being discreet. I would not hesitate to recommend Lymns at Beeston to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be going through a similar experience. Thank you so much Donna, Adrienne and Richard. I will never forget it.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We are pleased that all the team at Beeston offed great support and guidance both while arranging the funeral and on the day itself and would thank you for your recommendation.

Donna Conroy, who looked after the arrangements for us, was helpful, sympathetic and efficient. All the arrangements went very smoothly, all as planned. The funeral service was a fitting tribute to our mother. We felt securely supported in a situation which was for us inevitably unfamiliar and difficult.

4Debbie Godber30th May 2017
The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because my Father's funeral was a pre paid plan which he and my mother arranged 10 years ago. In the plan they requested,and paid for, transport to the Crematorium in one car for six people. This was because they wanted us to all be together on the journey. Unfortunately we were sent two 4 seater cars not one of the six seater limousines paid for in the plan. I had specifically requested the 6 seater as I wanted my daughter & son in law with me, my husband and son so that we could support each other at such a difficult time. However we were told that the 6 seater limousines were only available at an extra cost! This was very disappointing- we all felt that they should've honoured what was arranged in the plan.
On the day everything went smoothly and apart from the car issue I have no complaints whatsoever.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Mrs Godber, Thank you for your kind and very balanced review. I am very sorry that the situation arose with regard to the six seater car. I apologise for this and accept full responsibility for the fact that my staff have misunderstood my instruction in regard to what to do in these situations. As you rightly say your fatherâs plan included a Rolls-Royce for six passengers. Unfortunately about a decade ago it became apparent that there would be no more Rolls-Royce six or seven passenger limousines produced and we as a firm had to decide in the long term whether our replacement policy would be to change the brand and to stick with six or seven passenger limousines such as Fords or Volvos, or whether we would maintain our tradition of Rolls-Royce vehicles in which case we would have to reduce to four seaters. We decided to do the latter and changed our pre-paid plans accordingly but for all those families that had an A W Lymn Plan and had been promised one six seater Rolls-Royce we provide a free upgrade to two four seater Rolls-Royces which is what happened in the case of your fatherâs funeral. My apologies are however due as whilst we still have some, albeit older, six passenger limousines you should have been afforded one of these if you had preferred it to the two newer vehicles. Clearly this will not always be the case but it should have happened on this occasion and It would appear that I had been remiss and not made this clear to the line managers of the staff members involved. I apologise unreservedly and confirm that this situation has been clarified with our staff to prevent this problem arising again. Thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose, CEO

AW. Lymn provided an excellent service throughout. Thank you all
The on line obituary is a good idea but we found it rather frustrating to use.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your high appraisal of the service provided by the team at Beeston. We are however sorry that you found the online obituary system frustrating. This is a relatively new system and we are working closely with the developers and so any feedback that you wish to provide about the issues you have experienced would be very welcome and would assist them with improving the system for others. Thank you.
