From our first meeting with Teresa we knew Joyce’s funeral arrangements were in safe hands. The professionalism from the whole team was exceptional from collecting Joyce on the day she passed away to the moment Kirby dropped us off at the wake. We can’t fault a single thing and are so grateful for m helping us celebrate Joyce’s life at this terribly sad time

5Christopher McCullough27th Jun 2024
Theresa was lovely to work with at such a difficult time. We had a committal at Wilford Crematorium and then a separate Service of Thanksgiving and refreshments afterwards. She was very knowledgeable about options for services, facilities and timing and this advice was very helpful. She was also very proactive in making sure we got dates and times which we required. She was always available for a call and communicated important info to us as we got everything arranged. Thank you!
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
It was such a honour to be involved in Lorna’s funeral, she was a big part of Ruddington Community, I remember she was involved with the Rudd magazine. She is now at rest with her beloved husband Ivan who I also knew as he was one of the organist at Wilford Hill Crematorium. They will both be missed very much. I’m very please every thing went well on the day. Teresa.

5Catherine Clark8th May 2024
Lymns have conducted several family funerals for us and they do so with absolute professionalism. Teresa is understanding without being sentimental, which is something you don't need at a time like that. Richard, the celebrant gave us a truly beautiful service and several members of the family commented on how lovely it was. Every aspect of Lymns' service is polished and dignified. I rate them exceptionally highly.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
Catherine, how lovely of you to take the time to say such nice things. It was a privilege to look after your family, and I must say I was greatly helped by Thelma leaving such clear instructions about the type of service she wanted-including music, hymns and poems! Richard.
5Jackie Loveland6th May 2024
A. W. Lymn of Ruddington were brilliant at organising my mums funeral in April of this year. Teresa came to the house to help with everything that was needed and answered all our questions, so that we did not have to worry about anything. The funeral went smoothly and gave my mum a good send off. This is the third funeral for our family with A.W Lymn in the last three years, I would recommend them highly.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
Thank you for your lovely comments. I remember your mother very well from when I met her to arrange her Husbands funeral. She was a lovely kind lady. Teresa.

I can not praise Lymns enough for ensuring everything went well on the special day to remember dad. From the initial enquiry, home visit, the supporting staff at the Chapel of rest through to the funeral itself.

Thank you so much to the whole Lymns team. Tony
