From start to finish, at what was an emotional time for all concerned with the funeral of my father; I have to say that Catherine Broome from A.W. Lymn’s took all the hassle & stress away from myself & the family which was priceless.
Catherine was a joy to deal with and took care of all the arrangements for all family members and her attention to detail was exemplary.
Nothing was too much trouble and she provided a real personal touch as well as being pivotal in organising everything.
Our collective thanks to Catherine and the rest of the team at Lymns.
Thank you!

I cannot recommend lymns highly enough. Caroline is absolutely amazing. I was so overwhelmed to begin with because of having to organise everything over the phone and through emails because of the lockdown, but she literally held my hand over the phone and walked me through it every step of the way. I would have been totally lost without her. And David on the day of the funeral was amazing too. The whole experience was made that much better because of the care, compassion and empathy that they have.
Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for getting our family through this difficult time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, particularly with regards to the care and compassion shown by Caroline and David through these difficult times. We are glad that Caoline was able to arrange with the crematorium for you to have seating for all the family and that special touches such as this made the whole sad experiences better for you. Thank you.

From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank Caroline enough for everything she has been a rock throughout the most difficult time for me, from phonecalls to check on me to making sure my dad had everything with him that I asked. The service was exactly how I wanted it and Russell was fantastic on the day. It’s still raw and hard but I know that without Caroline and the rest of the team at hucknall lymns I wouldn’t of got through it the way I have
Thank you so much

Despite all the delays, caused by us, everything we asked for was accommodated. Then again I have always thought that Neil is one of your best funeral arrangers, LOL. Seriously though Catherine and Caroline were wonderfully professional throughout. Everything was done with the wishes of my family in mind. Obstacles were overcome with ease, and everything went so smoothly on the day that we could just relax and remember Mum and her life. Great job guys and thanks to all involved.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Neil, thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review.

We could not have asked for a better person than Catherine to organise the funeral or a better person than Rebecca to be the celebrant - both exceptional.
