5Simon Dyer17th Mar 2022
Fortunately, I do not have to deal regularly with bereavement, but on the occasion of the recent death of my Mother we dealt with A.W.Lymn Ruddington. Professional, sympathetic and caring. All the arrangements for looking after my Mother from her home to her burial a few weeks later proceeded with the minimum of fuss and upset.
Thoroughly recommended, if that’s what one does with a Funeral Director.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
I am very pleased that we were able to see you through the process and help provide a fitting tribute to your mother. I hope we managed to achieve the funeral she would have approved of. Thank you, Andrew

John`s service at Wilford Hill was every thing I could have wished for the journey was over & above what I asked for which was to drive past Notts Cricket Ground we did the full circuit of the ground, in his honour which he would have loved. Teresa was helpful through out a difficult time & was very patient with US as we made our decisions. Thank you so much.

This is our third time using the Ruddington branch as we have always been impressed with the service we have recieved. Teresa is marvellous and will go above and beyond to get things right for you. At a very difficult time they make everything run smoothly without the pressure. We have always felt the respect they give to our departed loved ones who are treated in a kind and gentle manner and which is greatly appreciated by the grieving family. I really cannot find fault with this branch or anyone that works there. A big thank you to all of them.
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
