The service I received can only be described as wonderful and totally professional. From the moment of contact by phone with Caroline to a face to face meeting with Catherine you feel at ease and that you are valued, at what is a very difficult time. Arrangements before and on the day went very well and made the burden so much easier. I have nothing but praise and thanks to all at Lymn's ,especially Catherine who is a credit to the company.

    I couldn't have asked for better or more sensitive support. Every aspect of the process was clearly explained and managed effectively, reducing the stress on myself and family members. The day of the funeral was really well organised and service itself was beautiful. Thank you all so much for your help and professionalism.

    Prompt response and professional....Used them before for father's funeral.. All went according to plan. 
    No pressure and involving one in all aspects of choice

  • 4 Emma Humphrey 20th Feb 2016

    The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They were very sympathetic to our needs, & worked very hard to secure the staff & services we wanted.

    The chief mourner was full of cold on the day, clearly quite ill, but did an excellent job throughout.

    The assistant who organised the bulk of the event worked incredibly hard. Most notably to find us a replacement celebrant when there was a diary clash due to venue availability restrictions.

    They worked hard to ensure we could get the venue we wanted, and were able to work with the restricted venue availability, despite the challenge of working around the Easter weekend.

    I would've given 5 stars but there were a couple of a small glitches:

    The person who conducted our initial interview, and was our chief mourner, wasn't available to organise the funeral, leaving a much less experienced staff member in charge. Whilst that person was amazing and worked incredibly hard to do the best by us, it was a bit misleading.

    Also, one of the staff who was acting as an usher at the service was incredibly officious, verging on rude to some of the guests. They didn't make themselves known to me (the family representative) or consult with me, unlike everyone else we worked with.
