  • 5 Vilia Frammingham 23rd Jul 2024

    You couldn't have made it more easier for us at this very sorrowful time. It takes a lot for my dad to trust anyone with my mum but he did. Philip was wonderful from the day he arrived into mum and dad's home confronted with mums brood. There is a lot of us!
    Philip is so patient and provided a sense of confidence that the day was all going to be as beautiful as it was. We trusted him. Dad now wants to talk about his funeral, but only with Philip 😊
    The whole team were lovely and I believe genuinely cared. Thank you so much for making things easy on what is the most difficult time of our lives.

    A.W. Lymn, Bulwell Team replied
    Vilia, thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, it really was a privilege and an honour to assist you and all the family at this difficult time. I’m glad that we could provide such an intimate grave side service, the weather helped. Philip

    Esther, I can’t thank you enough for your kind words.
    It was truly an honour helping organise Robert’s service, along with getting to know your lovely family.

  • 5 Angela Brady 6th Nov 2023

    I could not fault them from beginning to end. Kirby explained everything really well, we knew exactly what was happening and what was going to happen.



    We sorted all the venue, church and other arrangements, advising her of them as they arose.
    I know we have been to other funerals run by Lymns so knew they are professional in their attitude and can be approached with any queries we may have. We could not have asked for a more efficient funeral. Thank you to all who were involved.

    A.W. Lymn, Bulwell Team replied
    Angie, it was a privilege to take care of you and your family, and it was lovely to work with Paige to support you in creating a wonderful service for Kevin. Thank you for taking the time to write your review for us all. Your kind words mean such a lot to us. Sending our best wishes to you, Neil, Teresa and Esther. Warm regards, Kirby and Paige.
  • 5 Kim Bond 23rd Oct 2023

    Beautiful and respectful. The lady that worked with me was above and beyond helpful. Kind and caring. I have always trusted Lymns and I always will. Did everything and more to make things happen. 

    A.W. Lymn, Bulwell Team replied
    Thank you Kim, for your lovely feedback, I’m glad we were able to help during such a sensitive time. If there is anything else I can help you with you only have to ask. Paige.
