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.

Thank you Maureen, from our first telephone conversation to our first meeting at home and subsequent communication I sensed a very strong link with you and your lovely family. I felt that we were all on a mission to achieve what was right for David and for you as a family and I felt immensely privileged that I was a part of this and able to help guide you all. I also thought that Pastor Shaun Holt's service was excellent. Thank you, Mark.

Carol, you and your family have been unfortunate enough to use our family for funerals too many times, but your kindness and genuine warmth mean we are all even more honoured to serve you in these difficult times.

Thank you for such a lovely review, particularly with regards to our reasonably new team at Carlton. Thank you from us all.
