The service we received at a sad time was professional, courteous and friendly. All our contact with Edward was first class, nothing was too much trouble. Personally I appreciated his understanding of the music I required and the selection he made and his attentiveness at the actual funeral.
I would recommend Lymns without hesitation.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Pam, thank you for your kind review. I’m really pleased the service met your expectation and the music was well suited. Also, I was glad we were able to spend a few minutes at the care home before the service. Again, thank you send my best wishes to all. Edward.

Lym’s took care of the funeral arrangements very well and with efficiency and compassion. They communicated with us regularly throughout and we felt confident in them before and on the day of the funeral.
They were very professional at all times, and put our minds at ease when we had so much to think about.

It was a privilege to arrange the funeral having met Margaret, and we were all pleased to read your kind words. Thank you, Teresa.

She was right . They are highly competent, professional and empathetic - they took the burden off me and made the whole process run very smoothly.
Very highly recommended.

5Stephen Howells7th Feb 2021
The service received was excellent at this time of heartache. I was treated with kindness and compassion with nothing being too much trouble.
I was kept informed of the progress all the way to the funeral.
On the day everything went like clockwork and nothing had not been accounted for.
At such an emotional time it was a relief to be guided through the ceremony from start to finish.
I cannot thank them enough.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this very kind review. We are glad that Teresa kept you well informed throughout, actioning all of your requested and treating you with kindness and compassion.

My brother and I cannot thank Lymns in Ruddington enough for their attention to detail in dealing with the death of our dear dad. From start to finish their professionalism was exemplary.

5Michael Andrew Nobbs21st Dec 2020
Teresa at Lymn's helped us through a very difficult time, planning our daughter's funeral. She had a practical yet compassionate approach, which helped us to plan everything exactly how we wanted it. If we had any questions or queries, Teresa was always easy to get in touch with, and it really helped to have this continuity, so that we didn't have to keep going through things again with different people. On the day of the funeral, everything went perfectly, and Teresa was there to support us on this very difficult day.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
I was honoured to be entrusted with arranging Baby Alice's funeral for you and I am truly grateful for the kind words that you have written about me and the support that I gave. I am always available should you need someone to speak with. Thank you. Teresa.
