A.W.Lymns have been so helpful, understanding and gone above and beyond to make sure Mum's day goes smoothly. The support that they have given Dad has been lovely. They are like family and I will recommend to anyone who asks. Want to thank them for all that they are doing for us.

    Very professional  courteous . It was nice to have someone to turn to at an otherwise difficult time for advice.  I would recommend  setting up pre- paid funeral plans to reduce  some of the inevitable  stress .

    Outstanding. From the upsetting moment I had to call them out in the early hours of the morning, to the funeral and after support, Lymns have simply been oustanding. The team at Hucknall manage to balance being professional, efficient and organised with being friendly, empathetic and caring. They sensitively guided me through the right choices for my mum and the day ran so smoothly, it was just right.

    Special mention to Caroline and Catherine, at no point did I ever doubt everything would be anything but perfect, due to their care and attention. Thank you.

    I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied

    Just the help we needed under trying circumstances. Catherine and Caroline at the Hucknall Branch were excellent and understanding and helped ease us through the process, while Mum was beautifully presented in the Chapel of Rest. Many thanks for all your help. The recommended celebrant was also excellent and delivered a beautiful and well-appreciated service on the day.
