The help and compassion we received felt genuine and we(the 3 sons) can't praise enough the efforts made to ease us through this sad process.
In particular Mark Ridout went out of his way to offer his support.

Outstanding professional caring support from all staff ,especially Mark Ridout.
They ensure that everything is undertaken perfectly and assist in every way possible .
Having had to organise two funerals in five months I would have struggled without their expertise and cannot thank them enough for their attention to detail and genuine care.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are sorry that it has been necessary for you to require our services twice in such a short space of time but we are glad that on each occasion Mark has ensured that all your requests have been met and he has treated you with care and understanding. Thank you.
5Andrew Cammiss12th Aug 2019
A fantastic and professional service for our family through this very difficult time. Excellent communication throughout the period making the whole process a lot easier. We have had so many nice comments on the service that would have made my Dad proud. Thank you for everything.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that Sarah's excellent communication and professionalism made the process easier for you and are pleased that you were able to personalise the service by incorporating some of Dad's own music.
5Paula Goode27th Jul 2019
The service provided was excellent from start to finish. Because of the various difficulties involved in the circumstances following Alan's death, it could not have been easy to make all the necessary arrangements. In the end, it all worked out well and the funeral went off as well as anyone could have expected and hoped for. Mark was his usual competent self, making everyone feel at ease during the making of the arrangements and on the day itself.
This review is being written by Alan's brother John, as it was my e mail address that was used for the sake of convenience. I am sure that Paula, Alan's daughter, would endorse what I have said and I have forwarded your e mail to her so that you may get a response from her as well. Many thanks for everything. John A Goode.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you John for your lovely comments. We have had a super working relationship over the seventeen years that I have been in Nottingham and I always feel that such a time must be doubly difficult for you as a clergyman and also as a family member. I felt it a very touching moment in the service when you gave the reading and, as always when I meet the same family for another funeral, how emotional it can be but also how much of a privilege it is to be of service. Mark.
5Roy Pearson24th Jul 2019

5Dennis Bambury27th Jun 2019
From start to finish the whole process was made as easy as possible for those arranging the funeral. We were visited at home to ascertain our requirements for the funeral and every option was explained clearly and our wishes noted. On the day everything went smoothly , without any hitches and the mourners cared for in a friendly and dignified manner.
I can not speak highly enough of the service provided.

5Mr Richard Hallam8th Jun 2019
Joyce at A. W.Lymn in Carlton was excellent, she organised everything so well and quickly and with warmth that helped me. I could not have wished for any better help and service.
On the day of the funeral the lady and gentlemen that came were so helpful , especially Russell. They could not have done more to ensure everything proceeded smoothly and with a sympathetic touch for everyone present.
Thank you Lymn Funeral service .
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Joyce tells me that there was some urgency to get the funeral booked within a few days of you meeting with her due to upcoming commitments and so we are glad that she was able to arrange this for you. She joins me in thanking you for your kind words about her and the rest of the team.
