I dealt with Donna at the Beeston branch. She was professional and sensitive to my requirements and guided me through the necessary paperwork.  She put me in touch with a nonreligeous celebrant who conducted the service with dignity and respect.  On the day of my mother's funeral the hearse had a mechanical problem,  this can happen with classic vehicles. Donna was (at my request) in charge and swiftly informed us of the delay.  I was contacted by Mr Lymn, the proprietor and he apologised for doing so by email due to my living some distance away.  He waived the cost of the floral tribute, which I felt was a generous gesture.  Lymn's is a highly respected Nottingham firm and they upheld the highest standards of professional conduct.

    Mr McFarlane. Thank you for your very kind comments about the support that Donna and her team representing our family company in Beeston provided to you and your family in arranging and conducting your Mother’s funeral. I would also personally record my thanks for your kind understanding following the delay caused by the unforeseen mechanical problem with our 1960’s classic Rolls-Royce hearse. It really was much appreciated. Thank you.

    I would particularly like to express my grateful thanks to Donna Conroy for the very professional and sincere way in which she has dealt with the family and friends of Charles from start to finish. In all the arrangements and business that was required, her support has been of the highest order and she is to be commended on her warm and friendly manner. This has made a sad time all the easier to bare.

    The whole team could not have conducted themselves any better, they were exemplary.

  • 5 Michael Hall 25th Sep 2016

    From the moment that Donna walked into our home we knew that our Dear Mam and the family were in safe, kind hands. She guided us through what could have been a distressing time with gentleness and kindness.
    This has been the case throughout our dealings with Lymn's, and on the funeral day itself the kindness and gentle authority made us all feel secure, as did all of the driving staff.
    Speaking on behalf of all the family i cannot commend highly enough the treatment we have enjoyed.
    Thank you all so much
    Michael Hall and Family

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Mr. hall and family, I am truly touched by your kind words and appraisal of the service received by Donna and her colleagues at Beeston. We strive for excellence, and it certainly seems that Donna has achieved just that for your Mother. Thank you.
  • 5 Jenni Abraham 14th Sep 2016

    We used Lymn's for my dad's funeral 4 years ago and were so impressed by how they looked after my mum and the whole family that we chose them again when my mum died recently. They were so caring and supportive at such a sensitive time and made the whole process so much easier for us. They did everything they could to make it as least stressful as possible and always had time to answer any queries and support us. Plus they looked after mum and you really feel that they genuinely care. Thank you. 

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Jenni, thank you for your kind words. Richard, Donna, Adrienne and the whole team at Beeston do us proud day in and day out, and it is very gratifying to see your kind words. Best wishes, Matthew Lymn Rose.

  • 5 Deborah Groves 22nd Aug 2016

    Thank you so much to everyone at Lymn's, particularly Jackie and Richard.
    You were so sensitive and understanding at a very difficult time for us. Your attention to detail, support and respect for my Mum were very much appreciated.
    I particularly liked some of the unexpected details that definitely weren't expected e.g. umbrellas to shelter us from the rain getting into the cars and signs for the back of the cars following us.

  • 5 Paul Short 18th Aug 2016

    Everything was carried out in a professional manner , at a competetive price can't thank Richard enough who organised everything so well. Would certainly use you again if the occaision ever arose again.

    Best Regards 

    Paul K. Short
