Excellent service, very supportive & professional, you did us and our lovely Mum Jean Cottee proud. We could not have put it all together without you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The doves were an extra special touch which everyone loved. A massive thank you to you all x x 

Alan Johnstone 4th Feb 2017

From our initial moment of contact, through to the cremation service, all those we dealt with at A.W. Lymn projected sincerity and professionalism, coupled with an overriding respect for maintaining the dignity of the deceased.  We were entirely satisfied with the service provided.

  • 4 Sue Bugg 26th Sep 2016

    Just the smell when we visited our boy, so distressing at the time. We couldn't kiss him or hold his hand and this just added to the distress. It was sorted eventually Just wish it was sorted at the start. Otherwise the service given was very good. We still asking for some help and are sure we will get all the help we need. X

    Thank you for your kind review of the service Gary, Teresa and Dominic provided for you. I am truly sorry that the circumstances of Michael’s death led to the initial difficulties in the Chapel of Rest, and I am pleased that we were able to make it more comfortable for people to be able to sit with him. Thank you for your understanding, and you have my assurance that our staff will offer any help that they can.

    From the first initial contact Lymns were very professional and supportive. Gary at the Ruddington office guided us to make arrangements to fit our needs, and was especially helpful in making sure we were able to meet timescales for visitors from abroad. The civil celebrant recommended was excellent, all the items ordered and requested including the order of service were of high quality. Teresa and her team were very helpful on the day and everything was arranged perfectly for a fitting tribute to our much loved father.
