The service we received was excellent. Matthew treated us all and especially my Mum with real care and compassion.
The driver was friendly in a subtle way and helped us to get through a difficult day.
Kim was excellent at sorting out our preferences and very compassionate when we visited Dad in the Chapel of Rest
Overall an excellent service from start to finish. I would certainly recommend Lymns as an outstanding Funeral Director.

Thank you for the warm, kind and considered words about Kim and all of the team. It was an honour to look after a man who had done so much in his 101 years, and the love shown to him by his family and carers was clear to all. 'King Arthur'.

5Tina Pottrell31st Jan 2021
Kim at Lymn’s could not have made the sad experience of arranging Mum’s funeral any easier. She walked me through every step, with kindness and patience. Lymn’s offer as much or as little as you want, with no pressure and that’s important at such a sad time. Thank you Kim.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Dear Tina, many thanks for your kind words and review. Thank you for letting me help you at this difficult time and it was nice to see you in person when signing the forms and visiting your Mum in the Chapel of Rest. I wish you all the best for the future and keep safe. Kim.

Dear Mr Millington, it was an honour to have helped you and your family at this difficult time. It was wonderful hearing all the stories of Brenda and her history, she was a ray of sunshine. Also I will always remember her photo with the crown made out from laundry pegs, brilliant. Kim.

5Susan Elaine Smith9th Jan 2021
The service we received from W A Lymn couldn’t have been better so professional and caring from the first conversation . Kim had time to spend talking and explaining everything at our pace not rushing us at all. Such care was taken with Dad he looked at such peace when we went to visit him. Nothing was to much trouble for them and it made such a difficult time seem a bit easier to cope with
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind words in particular regarding Kim's care and your visit with Dad in our chapel. We are glad that we were able to make this difficult time a little easier for you to cope with.

5Dawn Britt28th Sep 2020
This is the first funeral we’ve had to plan and A.W.Lymn Bulwell made us feel so comfortable and any questions we had or requests for the day were answered and done with no hesitation. We were made to feel welcome and never felt like we were left to fend for ourselves, we always felt like nothing was too big or too small and we were given enough time to ourselves when we needed. I cannot thank them enough for a lovely treatment in a sad time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Dear Dawn, many thanks for your kind review, I am glad that I made you feel comfortable and able to ask any questions, no matter how trivial you thought they might be. I wish you and your family all the best for the future. Thank you, Kim.

5David Knight21st Jun 2020
The staff at AW Lymm's performed amazingly in organising my Father's funeral and we were happy to leave everything in Kim's (Bulwell Office) capable hands - particularly as we are in Scotland and COVID restrictions prevented direct contact until the funeral itself. The funeral was necessarily an unusual event given the distancing regulations. The attending Lymm's personnel ensured that everyone complied to those regulations - but in a sympathetic and supportive manner. The selected celebrant was fantastic and the ability for non-attendees to participate via webcast was a tremendous boost.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review. It is gratifying to know that even with all the covid restriction in place Kim performed amazingly well and that the webcast and celebrant recommended made the service inclusive for those unable to attend. Thank you.
5Lee Hudson1st Jun 2020
Under the circumstances we are all living in at the minute our brothers last journey was perfect... from start to finish communication was delivered and arrangements made... the Ariel aeroplane delivered a brilliant message in the sky and the doves were beautiful we can not thank you enough the Hudson’s family x
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
To the Hudsonâs, many thanks for your kind review. It is so difficult at present with some family and friends being unable to pay their respect at funeral services due to Covid 19. The Ariel message was just perfect for all to see in Nottingham and the sky was blue for Shaun. I wish you all the best and you know where I am if you ever want to talk. Thank you, Kim.
5Keith Dennis1st Jun 2020
I would just like to say thank you very much for Helens funeral and on your part I thought you did an excellent job. No one could have done it better. Thanks again. Keith
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Dear Mr Dennis, I would like to thank you for your kind words and for putting your trust in me and letting me help you at this difficult time. Kim
5Karen and Brian Saunders28th May 2020
During this sad and stressful time, Lymn’s have been wonderful. With lock down and the current Corona virus situation, everything had to be done over the phone and at a distance. They were sympathetic, extremely helpful and made arranging everything as easy as possible.
On the day, Nigel Lymn Rose was excellent. He accommodated Lily’s neighbours who couldn’t attend the funeral, allowing them to view the coffin from the side of the road. He was very helpful when we were at Bramcote crematorium easing us through the requirements and restrictions.
We thank everyone involved for their kindness, compassion and assistance throughout the whole process.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Mr & Mrs Saunders, many thanks for your lovely review for myself, Nigel Lymn Rose and all staff who were involved with helping you make the arrangements for late Mrs Lily Nixon. I am glad that we were able to incorporate extra touches such as taking the funeral processions past neighbours who could not attend the service. I wish you and the family all the best for the future. Thank you, Kim.
5June Stewart26th May 2020

Chloe Lymn Rose replied
