  • 5 Claire Senior 3rd Jul 2017

    Caroline and Catherine at AW Lymn have made the horrible process of saying goodbye to our mum as painless as possible. Their compassionate, friendly and timely service has left such a positive impression on the last three nightmarish weeks, and they have succeeded in giving mum the dignified yet highly personal service that would have seen her smile and give the thumbs up. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this lovely positive review about the service received at Hucknall and in particular from Caroline and Catherine.
