We were so pleased we chose A.W. Lymn Carlton, they were professional, very kind and patient with us during this extremely sad time. They were helpful and were happy to go at the pace that suited us as a family and there was no pressure put on us regarding the funeral options available.
This was the first time that I've had to arrange a funeral and was so pleased to have A.W.Lymn Carlton to guide us through.

We cannot thank Mark Ridout, Nigel Lymn Rose, the staff at Gedling Crematorium and the Reverend Philip Thomas enough for the professional, caring and thoughtful way they guided us through the funeral process and supported us at such a sad and difficult time.

Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Mrs Hastings, thank you for your very kind review. It is so difficult with the restrictions during this pandemic to always provide families with the service they would want but with the reduced numbers that can attend it can be a warmer, more personal, ceremony and that is exactly the feeling that I experienced at Peter's funeral. I am pleased we could be of help. Thank you.

5Dawn Lawrence7th Apr 2020
Lymns were excellent. At a time when our family were grieving and finding things hard they were there for us and supported us. To add to the stress we were all on lock down because of Covid 19, Lymns coped with daily changes to guidance and kept us informed. They were professional but also sensative and appreciative to our needs. My Dad had the send off he wanted, driving past his flat for the last time with dignity and respect. We can't thank Lymns enough.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are really glad that even with all the ever changing guidance the team at Carlton were able to help you give your Dad the send off he wanted and include special elements such as driving past his flat for one last time. Thank you.
