A.W Lymn, Bulwell have been brilliant despite all the government restrictions. They have been very respectful and patient with all the questions we have had. Can’t thank them enough for all they have done 

Julie Thorpe 30th Mar 2020

Thanks for the support from Kim and the Lymn's team for the sensitive and professional way in which they guided us through the funeral arrangements; and much appreciated they were able to arrange for both the same Vicar and Funeral Conductor as for my fathers funeral four years earlier.

Cherry Blackbourn-Warr 22nd Mar 2020

AW Lyman in Bulwell were extremely kind, friendly and helpful in arranging my late father’s funeral.   Kim, Caroline and Richard, the celebrant were very professional and supportive and guided us through all aspects of the arrangements.

    Compassionate and professional throughout, Tina inparticular, nothing was too much to ask she is a lovely warm and welcoming lady, I doubt my nanas day would have been as beautiful as it was or ran as smoothly as it did without her and the lymns team.
    Everything was explained, every little detail was covered, and I without a doubt will be happy to recommend lymns for anyone experiencing these hard times, they made it that little bit easier. We honestly will never be able to thank them enough. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a honour to be able to arrange your Nana's funeral and I am really pleased everything went well and to hear the service was beautiful. Tina.
