    Thank you for your kind review. Kim has asked me to pass on that she was honoured to have helped you and your family at this difficult time. She wishes you all the best for the future and is sure you will all take great care of each other as it was oblivious to her how close a family you are.

    Kim is grateful to you for this kind review and has asked me to pass on that she remembers Judy from when she arranged your Dad’s funeral and that she was a very pleasant and loving lady. Again she is honoured to have helped you and your family at this difficult time and offers her deepest sympathy.

    Thank you for this kind review, we are pleased that Kim’s kindness and support allowed you to create a fitting farewell. Kim has also asked me to pass on that it was an honour for her to help you and hear all the stories about Doreen. She was amazing, adventurous with no fear, caring for others and kind.

    Stacey Bentley, Funeral Director for Lymn's Bulwell, is such a compassionate, caring, considerate, professional, and thorough person I have ever encountered. Stacey has helped me make my grieving process much easier. Stacey is my saviour. Stacey is an asset to the Lymn's family. I HIGHLY commend and recommend Lymn's. Thank you to ALL of your staff and an extra special thanks to Stacey for going above and beyond. Bless you. My Mum received the most outstanding care and presentation from when Lymn's received Mum to her final demise. A huge THANK YOU to the Pall Bearers who were very respectful and carried Mum beautifully. It really touched my heart. Thank you to the driver of the Hearse, and to everyone who helped prepare Mum. Because I am 5000 miles away, Stacey really was wonderful from beginning to end. Keeping me informed of every step. She really helped with my emotional state. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone. Bless you all. xxx

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your wonderfully kind and detailed review, in particular the praise you have given to Stacey and the service she provided. We understand that your distance from us made things a little more difficult but are really pleased that Stacey was able to offer extra services to keep you fully informed and integrated in the proceedings. Stacey has also asked me to add how pleased she is with the kind comments you have made and with how satisfied you are with the service she provided. Thank you.

  • 3 Katie Louise Norman 9th Dec 2016

    The price is very expensive so that has a lot to do with the review. Caroline was absolutely fantastic and did all she could to help us and talk to us she was absolutely fantastic. There was a couple of errors but they have sorted this quite fast and efficient

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for you very kind words about the way you were looked after fantastically by Caroline. We are however disappointed to see that there were a couple of errors with the funeral and although these were addressed straight away for you we are sorry that they ever arose. We also note your comment that your three star rating of our service was predominantly determined by the fact you found us to be expensive. We do not aim to be the cheapest, but we do aim to offer a service of the highest quality at a competitive price and so are disappointed that you did not feel that we achieved this. If you would like to discuss anything further please do not hesitiate to contact either the Bulwell office or myself. Thank you
