Lymn Carlton gave a very professional service throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble. Although we were under covid restrictions, the funeral service still felt very special, thanks to the attention to detail and the kindness and consideration of the staff. The order of service was beautiful, and provides a special memento. Lymn also arranged a webcast, which was fantastic for the many family members who were unable to travel to the service, and this was really appreciated.

We have used Lymn's Carlton for both my father and mother's funeral.
They are the nicest people and have gone out of their way to provide us with the funeral we wanted.
I would highly recommend them and we could not have wished for anything better.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Both Mark and Joyce remembered Reg fondly from the time of arranging your mother's funeral so it was with great sadness that they were called upon to arrange his funeral with you. They are however grateful to you for this lovely review and recommendation and are pleased that everything was once again as you had wanted it to be. Thank you.

To all at Lymn’s Carlton,
Thank you all so much for your obvious care and love for mum and us all at what was a very difficult and emotional time. Your compassion and empathy at all times was always evident. Nothing was ever too much for you to deal with even though we asked things of you at the last minute and needed issues dealing with in haste.
We were always made to feel like our mum was the only person in your care. She was treated with great dignity and respect.
Everyone’s manner was exceptional at all times. We really can’t thank you all enough. Special big thanks and hugs to Mark and Joyce.
Love from all of Maggie’s family. ❤️❤️
