5Mark Dillon18th 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

Sadly had to use the services of a Lymns on a few occasions.
Always treated with the utmost respect, by warm and friendly staff.
Nothing is too much trouble and will accommodate your wishes.
First time using the Carlton office and Danny, Mark and a Jessica were outstanding in their services during a very difficult time.
Of course a big thank you also to Matthew.
