Only one thing wrong and that was the wrong song was played as we entered. Everything else was good and Richard was very good.
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Thank you for taking to time to leave this generally kind review, particularly in regards the service provided by Richard. We are however very sorry about the confusion with the music where the Elvis track "Love me" was played instead of "Love me tender" but we are grateful to you for the kind understanding show at the time.

5Kimberley Howitt18th Jul 2022
I didn’t think I’d be writing another review so soon, after the passing of my sister and her baby and now the passing of my partner. There was no doubt yet again we went with Lymns. Outstanding service and profession throughout. I can’t thank Catherine enough for all her support and Diana too. They make me feel so welcome and answered any bizarre questions I had. Words aren’t enough to describe how incredibly supportive they was with everything. I knew Steve was in very good hands. Hopefully I won’t be coming in again anytime soon to arrange another funeral but I’ll certainly miss popping in and talking to you both. Thank you so much 😊♥️
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
It was our pleasure to offer you support at such a sad time especially with three loses in such a short space of time. No one should go through that kind of pain in a lifetime and especially alone. We are honoured you chose Hucknall Lymn’s to help provide the funerals for each family member. We don’t just provide a funeral service, I like to think we are also here to provide support, give guidance and sometimes develop new friendships too. The door is always open to continue that support. Thank you, Deanna & Catherine.

5Donna Quibell25th Jun 2022
From start to finish I have felt looked after by caring and supportive staff. They have made a difficult time a little easier to deal with. I would highly recommend others to use their service.

5Christine Eagle28th May 2022
A.W. Lymn of Hucknall arranged my husband Arthur Eagle's funeral with great care and consideration. I would like to express my thanks, and also on behalf of family, friends and colleagues.
He was with Lymns a lot longer than anticipated, but they did all they could to resolve a difficult situation.
All of Lymn's staff worked with the utmost respect for my husband and the day itself went smoothly.
Everyone said it was a lovely service.
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
I'm sorry that it took a number of weeks for the funeral to take place due to delays in registration but am grateful to you for these kind words and am glad that you were pleased with all we did to support you through this time. Thank you, Catherine.

5Kimberley Howitt7th May 2022
Words will never be enough to describe what an outstanding service you gave Lindsey and her baby son Rio. From the day we walked in you comforted both me and my mum through this tragic loss, helped us with any questions we had, went above and beyond and nothing was ever too much for you. We’ve had tears and most of all we’ve had some humour to get us through it all. The effort you’ve all made to help and comfort us when we felt like didn’t know what to do. The special keepsake from Rio too with his little hand and footprints, forever grateful for you doing them because that’s all we have of him. Having my mums wish to have them both together at peace is the most special heartwarming tribute of all. So a massive thank you to Catherine and Caroline ♥️♥️ you both are incredible lovely people. Thank you for being apart of this journey with us. We will never forget what you’ve both done ♥️💙
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really kind review. I can't imagine what your family have been going through but I am truly glad that I was able to make this time a little more bearable for you by taking the stresses of arranging the funeral away and by being able to arrange special keepsakes for you to treasure. I wish you all the best for the future and please remember where I am if there is ever anything else I can do for you. Thank you, Caroline.
5Mick Stevenson26th Apr 2022
From the moment we first visited A.W.Lymn in Hucknall we were made to feel at ease & comfortable whilst faced with a difficult situation. We saw Caroline and she handled everything so professionally, whilst still displaying compassion and on our level. She explained clearly about the whole funeral procedure from start to finish but most importantly she listened to us and to our input, nothing was too awkward or too much trouble for her .. In the nicest possible way I'm hoping to not see Caroline any time soon, but would have no hesitation in recommending A.W.Lymn to anyone needing funeral services...
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
It was a pleasure to be able to meet you face to face rather than having to look after you over the phone as I did during the pandemic. I feel like I know Cecil from the stories you told and I thought the orders of service you created were lovely. Thank you, Caroline.
5Clair Pounder10th Apr 2022
