    Lymns have been very good throughout giving us details or changes whenever needed 
    The only problem I’d say is we never got dad’s fingerprint I have been told it should be policy to take finger prints straight away? 
    But Jane called to say the coroners couldn’t get a finger print as I’d had been too long which we are very upset about 
    On the day the lymns staff were very professional and Richard the celebrant was lovely,kind and professional as was Jane 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Mrs Broughton, thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review, particularly in relation to Jane’s kindness and Richard’s professionalism. We are however sorry to read that you were disappointed that we were unable to take dad’s fingerprint for you. I am not sure how you had been given the impression that we would take a fingerprint straight away, as we only take these when requested, but we are truly sorry that the time between dad’s passing and the date of arranging his funeral was so long, due to waiting for the Coroner’s paperwork to be issued, and that this meant we were unable to take his prints once he arrived back in our care. Chloe.

  • 5 Paul Harness 27th Dec 2024

    From the moment a few years ago when my mum prepaid and sorted out her funeral we can’t fault the service from Lymns and especially Jane keetly of lymns at Clifton in Nottingham
    She helped my mum with her funeral planning and nothing was too much trouble 
    My mum got exactly the funeral she had planned and Jane made sure on the day of the funeral everything that was going to happen and when as she came along and organized the day from the off 
    They looked after my mum turned up on time and did everything that we expected them to do on the day
    No problems whatsoever and like I said special thanks to Jane 
    Will let her do mine one day

    A.W. Lymn, Clifton Team replied
    Thank you for this kind review, Paul. I was very privileged to be able to know Kathleen via her pre-paid plan, and very sorry to learn of her passing. The funeral itself was perfect, the church was beautiful, music just how it was planned, with beautiful flowers on the coffin and in the church,
    with a visual tribute playing during the service, with lovely family photos of a life well spent with her loving family.
    Rev Esther took a sentimental funeral service that was perfectly arranged in the funeral plan. Jane.

  • 5 Tracey Gavrilou 11th Oct 2024

    Out first visit was with Jane,she was so kind caring and spent alot of time with us getting everything prepared to detail for Aaron. Unfortunately Jane was on holiday so Julia took over helping us get everything sorted even playing 3rd party with ex family members. Jane came back and re took up looking after us and wow she got everything spot on and went above and beyond to make Aaron's day absolutely fantastic. Your team are amazing and have so much time for us the greiving family. The drivers off the cars were so professional. Even after the funeral we went to collect the ashes and once again Jane was so welcoming and took so much time out to check we were OK and offering advice. I'm so pleased we choose your company and fabulous staff to lay my son to rest

    A.W. Lymn, Clifton Team replied
    Tracey, it was such an honour to meet you and after the initial shock of our first meeting I am so thankful for the card and your kind words, Jane of course looked after you as expected and I am pleased that you and the family approved of the services your received from us. Julia

    From the moment we met Jane at Lymn’s she put us at ease. We were guided thoughtfully and empathetically through the process of planning our father’s funeral. Jane kept us  informed so we knew what to expect. The day was everything we wanted and needed to say goodbye and Matt was wonderful in looking after us all. The care this company took was exemplary and we would recommend them as a caring and efficient company, many thanks .

  • 5 Stephen Daniels 24th Mar 2024

    A W Lymn at Clifton were marvellous in their support and organisation of my Father's recent funeral arrangements and they made the whole process from initial enquiry to finally collecting his ashes a comforting and stress-free experience. Jane, in the Clifton branch, and Jackie, who led the funeral cortege, were genuinely lovely and caring; it was a pleasure to know that, under their guidance and organisation, everything would go seamlessly and it certainly did. During a clearly distressing time for any family they are wonderfully supportive and provided an outstanding service. I can recommend A W Lymn in the strongest possible terms. One always hopes one doesn't need a service like theirs but, when you do, they are a superb company to help you make the necessary arrangements. I cannot thank them highly enough and I can honestly recommend them as an excellent firm, well deserving of their 5-start rating. Many thanks to all concerned at A W Lymn.

    A.W. Lymn, Clifton Team replied
    After talking about Peter’s life with you I knew that Richard Marshall would be just the right person to take the service, and Jackie Lymn Rose the perfect conductor on the day, having know Peter from his flying days.
    I am so happy that everything went according to plan and the service was a fitting tribute to such an amazing man. Thank you, Jane.
  • 5 Julie Morley 5th Feb 2024

    From start to finish the service provided by Lymn's was outstanding. I would like to praise Jane at the Clifton office for her empathy, support and professionalism in helping the family through this difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble and all the family felt at ease to deal with arrangements. 
    On the day of the funeral Jane and the drivers all showed respect and reverence to the occasion but also kindness, humour and empathy supporting the family in a way that was fitting to the circumstances of the deceased.
    An outstanding service, thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, Clifton Team replied
    Thank you for these kind words, I was so happy to be of help to you and your wonderful family at this very sad time. Jane.
  • 5 Barbara Fairhall 26th Jan 2024
