Ann Jardine 31st Mar 2020

Due to corona virus and age group due to attend, I am afraid it was a reduced service, 4 family members only. In very unfortunate circumstances and late change to arrangements, once again Teresa proved to be a wonderful asset to your company. With many thanks to Richard who too, had to alter service arrangements.

Linda Littlewood 30th Mar 2020

Lymn’s provided us with a great service and really helped us through such a difficult time. Courtney helped us throughout the whole process and she was excellent

Sarah Whittaker 30th Mar 2020

Very thoughtful and kind, especially considering the current new covid19 restrictions.
