    I cannot say enough good comments about the staff from start to finish everything was organised superbly and the staff are so caring.   Thank you from all the Lawson family

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    It is always sad to see a familiar face walk through the door and it was even sadder when John wasn't with you Annette. Thank you for letting me again be part of the arrangements, although a little harder having known John and feeling both you and your daughter's pain. What a big character who will be very sadly missed. Deanna.

    Empathetic, patient, helpful and considerate. Walked us carefully through each element of what  needed to happen and provided contacts and advice for ancillary services.  A measured, well judged and authentic provider of a service no one relishes engaging with. They brought a human and personal touch to a difficult time. Outstanding.

    It was a true honour to have helped you and your family at this time of need, and this lovely review is a nice reminder of why I do my job. A humble thanks to you for my feedback which is very much appreciated. Deanna.

    From start to finish they explained things in detail put mine and my families minds at rest that everything was being taken care of the way we wanted it and was always there on the other end of the phone if we needed to ask any questions. the funeral turned out the best a funeral can be and we would definitely use them again although hopefully no time soon.

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    It was a pleasure to look after not just you but Pete too. I could hear and see he was a highly respected and well loved man. I am glad you feel the funeral service did your Father justice as he truly did deserve the best. Thank you, Deanna.
