    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.

  • 5 Angela Barlow 6th Oct 2018

    We were and still are devastated at the loss of our fabulous mother.
    We contacted Lymns bulwell branch and arrange the funeral with help from Kim Nichols. She was absolutely brilliant. So professional, helpful and extremely sympathetic always, whether face to face or on the telephone.
    On the day of the funeral, the whole day was dealt with in a professional and extremely courteous manner throughout.
    I would recommend this company to anyone who would be unfortunate to require their service.
    Angela Barlow

  • 4 Lisa Horton 22nd Apr 2018

    Excellent service, only negative i can find is the choice of Vicar for the service who did not really prepare in advance and made it feel like he was reading off a piece of paper.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive review, we are pleased that Kim and Nigel offered excellent service both beforehand and on the day itself. We are however sorry that you were disappointed with the Vicar that we suggested. He is a local Church of England Minister who leads many services for our family company and we can only apologise that on this occasion you felt that he was not properly prepared. If you would like to discuss this further with us please do not hesitate to contact either Kim directly or Matthew or Nigel at head office. Thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for this lovely review. You did so well arranging and making sure everything was about him, from the music to even having all mourners wearing Christmas jumpers, which I thought was a wonderful idea as Duncan was always Santa. Everything you did for Duncan’s funeral service would of made him proud. Thank you, Kim.

    I can not thank you enough. Funerals are an emotional thing to arrange, but you was there every step of the way. Making phone calls to me to make sure that the day was in order from the start right until the end. From Kim at the Bulwell office right up to the cars and the funeral cortage. Couldn't fault anything

    Thank you so much for making a very sad day a very special one

    Amanda

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your kind and detailed review. Kim has asked me to pass on that it was her honour to have helped you at this difficult time and to hear Roberts history from his family and friends. She wishes you all the best and asks you to remember that you are always welcome to call into the Bulwell office to see her.
