David Starmer 11th Nov 2024

A truly excellent service - the ceremony went perfectly. Thank you very much.

David MacDonald 27th Oct 2024

From our first meeting with Samantha to the day of my wife’s funeral Lymns could not have been more helpful and accommodating.  Everything was clearly explained to us and any questions we had in the lead up to the funeral were answered promptly and with great sympathy. The timing of the transfer to Wilford Hill cemetary was superb and the transport for the family was immaculate. I will have no hesitation in recommending A.W.Lymn, West Bridgford to anyone looking for a first class undertaker.

Dayn Ford 18th Oct 2024

I am heartened by the fact that the day could not have gone any better. The most telling sentiment expressed, that simply had to be shared with you was....."and that is how it should be done". So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my mother the most dignified and gracious send-off that she whole heartedly deserved

    Dear Samantha, I will leave a proper review when I have more time but you may rest assured that I and the whole family were very pleased with the services that you provided, the kindness and consideration.
    In particular we were especially satisfied with the way that our instructions regarding Liz's DBE insignia, the flowers from her garden and the turn around Tollerton village were carried through.
    Thank you.
    David

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    David, Thank you so much for a lovely review, it was my absolute honour to help with Liz’s arrangements and make sure we got it spot on, the choosing of flowers from her own garden was such a beautiful tribute to her. The capacity of people that attended Liz’s funeral was a real testament to the kind of person she was and the impact she leaves people behind with. David it was a pleasure to meet you and your wife, I’m here should you need anything else. Take care, Samantha
  • 5 Lisa Bastiani 6th Jul 2024

    From the first meeting through to the final service, Lymms were very professional and supportive. Andrew visited myself and mum at home and went through every detail and answered all our questions with compassion and sensitivity. We knew exactly how much everything was going to cost so there were no surprises.

    On the day, the cars were immaculate, the staff very smart and discreet, and everything ran like clockwork. 

    I throughly recommend using this company, to make a very difficult time less stressful and take the pressure of you by giving reliable, honest service.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Lisa, we are so glad that everything was how you had hoped. It was clear from meeting you and the family how loved and respected John was and it was a pleasure to help give him a fitting send off. Andrew.

  • 4 James Stuckey 12th May 2024

    All ran very well, only comment would be that when they came to the house to take details, he was very stern and serious, felt a little uncomfortable 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this generally positive feedback on the service provided by our team at West Bridgford. I am however sorry to hear that you found the arranger stern and serious. On each occasion the funeral arranger needs to make an assessment on how best to interact with a family, and I am sorry that on this occasion his behaviour did not make you feel at ease during this difficult time. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Chloe Lymn Rose

    Lymns provided a  SUPERB service for my fathers funeral. From our first meeting with Samantha to our final arrangements with Edward.  
    Their ability to remain professional and efficient, yet demonstrate warmth, dignity and compassion throughout  such an upsetting and personal time, is outstanding!
