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.

Thank you for your kind comments. It was a honour to be there at your father’s Funeral and I hope the rabbits enjoyed the Carrots, Thank you, Teresa.
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.

5Jackie Loveland29th Dec 2022
We have used A. W. Lymn twice in the last two years and have been very pleased with their services. They were very helpful, giving us guidance from start to finish. A special mention to Teresa Spencer, who was always there to support and reassure us along the way. Also Malcolm Barham, the Celebrant who gave a very personal tribute to my dad which is what he would have wanted.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
It was a honour to arrange Aubrey’s funeral and to have met Mrs Bowskill who told me about their time in Australia, and I'm glad that you were pleased with the service Malcolm took for you. Thank you, Teresa.
5Elliot Hunnam23rd Dec 2022
Everything was as expected with A.W Lymns. Superb professional service. The day went smoothly. Teresa was lovely & calmly guided us through the arrangements at the Ruddington funeral home. As my brother was transported to the crematorium in my own camper van, Gary & Dominic were there to help at the funeral home & crematorium. We have used Lymns in the past & will certainly use them again in the future. Many thanks.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
It’s always a privilege to be asked to help a family make a service personal and on this occasion we certainly achieved this. I'm pleased that Paul got to make is final journey in a VW Camper and the gorilla mask was a definite hit! Thank you for your very kind comments. Teresa & Dominic.

A W Lymn provided a truly excellent, caring service for our family following the passing of our father, Fred Barber. Every detail was meticulously looked after and we were given advice on every aspect of the funeral process. Thank you, Lymns for creating such a special day
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
It was a privilege to arrange your father’s funeral and to hear that he was a bell ringer at all saints church for over 30 years. Also that he had travelled to most countries in the world and kept a complete log of when and where he went, who he went with and also the friends he met. He will be greatly missed by all and I hope Mavis settles into her new home in Dorset. Thank you, Teresa.

5Donald George Peel22nd Aug 2022
A totally professional and first rate service from first contact to the excellent post funeral care. I can't praise all of the staff in Ruddington highly enough for their empathy, organisation and understanding of exactly how to make our funeral wishes a reality. I simply had to be guided by them on all matters and to make easy decisions about what happened and Lymn Rose turned it all into a perfect day.
Matthew Lymn Rose replied
Don, you are too kind given the most difficult time you and Holly have gone through with the loss of Katie. Teresa, I and all of our team thank you for placing your trust in us.
