Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Jane. Thank you for your lovely review. We were all saddened by the death at such a young age but are pleased that the services of Teresa and her team at Ruddington and myself and the staff on the day proved to be of the standard and at the pace that you had hoped. I do however think that the support and assistance of your sister-in-law Julia who is part of our team at A W Lymn should not be underestimated. Nigel.

5Carol Goddard7th Mar 2023
A W Lymn Ruddington are such a compassionate caring team from start to finish. I cannot thank everyone enough, from the initial contact with Theresa, Gary and all the staff on the day.
The team lead by Edward Martin who was so caring and professional were brilliant - all the staff were impeccably smart, and the fleet of cars were immaculate, along with the floral tributes. Nothing was too much trouble on the day - it was perfect, a typical village Funeral.
We had comments as below:
“ A W Lymn always seem to have the edge over anyone else”
“Please don’t take this the wrong way, although a sad occasion, it’s been brilliant”
“ So caring, approachable, and smart - everything was perfect for you”
You should all take pride that AW LYMN made it possible to give our Uncle Bernard a good send off, it was exactly how he would have wanted it. You did us proud.
Thank you to everyone.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
Carol, may I thank you for this glowing appraisal that you have kindly shared about Bernard’s funeral. We very much appreciate your comments about the turnout of the staff, cleanliness of the cars and quality of the flowers. Such kind words really do make a difference to us, and I will ensure they are passed on to the team. It was an incredible honour for me to have conducted the service for Bernard, and I agree with you that a traditional village funeral was just right for such a traditional man. He now rightly rests in the village he spent many happy years in and loved so much. From us all, thank you. Edward.

5Kathleen Rowe30th Jan 2023
The whole process was professional, friendly and considerate. The undertaker listened carefully to our wishes. On the day he and his team were supportive but unobtrusive. Everything went according to plan. The collection of ashes was timely and dealt with sensitively. Having had Lymn’s recommended by several local people I would have no hesitation in recommending them myself.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
Thank you for your kind word , and it's nice to hear that the residents of Shrimpton court are visiting Mrs Rowe when she can’t make the tea mornings. It was my pleasure to make the day go as planned and I'm glad you were pleased with all we did for you. Thank you again, Gary.
My mum,s funeral was all that i asked for. No problems from my initial phone call when Mum passed, to the actual funeral. Care, compassion and proffesionalism was what i knew we would recieve when i spoke to Teresa at Ruddington. Thank You.
