Fantastic service huge thank you from us all on such a fantastic job well done thank you xx very happy with everything

Emma-Claire Bailey 22nd Oct 2022

Mark and Jess were absolutely amazing through the whole process. Such lovely people and really made the worst time in my life a little easier.  They were happy to accommodate for absolutely anything we needed, and I mean anything. They wanted to take all the stress out of the situation and they really did.  The whole lead up to the day, organisation of everything, and the day itself was done in such a great way, I can't sing their praises enough.  Thank you so much for everything they have done and are continuing to do, I really have appreciated it.

It's hard to find the words to fully describe the outstanding service we received as a family - from the start right through to our last interaction after their service had finished. And this was not a one-off either - I've used them in the past and know of other people that say the same.

    Thanks

  • 5 Mark Dillon 18th May 2022

    We had a first class service from Mark Ridout and the Lymn's team at Carlton.

    Just as was the case with my Father's funeral 13 years ago, Mark attended efficiently to every last detail in order to ensure that the day itself went off without a hitch and did so with his trade mark solicitous and caring manner.

    I cannot recommend Lymns highly enough and we are very fortunate to have such a traditional and experienced Business in the East Midlands.

    I would not consider using anyone else

    Mark Dillon

    A.W. Lymn, Carlton Team replied

Thank you also for your kind words about the company as a whole and for your recommendation. Take care, Mark.
