Throughout a very distressing period for our family, all of our dealings with AW Lymn have been nothing but positive. The staff in the West Bridgford office were always kind and compassionate and guided us so helpfully and professionally through the whole process. I'd like to make particular mention of Sarah Hall, who did such a wonderful job - nothing seemed to be too much to ask of her and she really helped to make the funeral a very special occasion for us.

Richard Drury 9th Jan 2017

Many thanks for the excellent Funeral Services provided to our family concerning the passing away of our Mum. Lymns professionalism in dealing with all aspects of the various requirements and family requests were handled efficiently with no fuss leaving us to focus on handling the grieving process and support vulnerable family members. You never want to have to use a funeral director but I would definitely use Lymns again in the sad circumstances when one is needed. Thank you

Lyn Cairns 9th Jan 2017

The staff I dealt with at the West Bridgford office were absolutely brilliant. There was some difficulty in obtaining the piece of music I requested for the service but Sarah and Callum managed to organise it for me. I cannot thank them enough. I am pleased that we used a celebrant to conduct the service, Victoria did a fantastic job. They all helped to make a difficult day a little more bearable. Thank you

  • 5 Martine Lowes 26th Jul 2016

    I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the preparation, planning and attendance at my father's funeral. It was the loveliest day, given the circumstances, we could have wished for my father.

    Lymns were courteous and thoughtful throughout the experience and helped my brother and I through this difficult time. I would certainly recommend Lymns to other members of my family and my friends.

    Thank you.

  • 5 Bernard Sketchley 25th Jul 2016

    I would like to pass on my sincere praise for the service provided by Lymns for the funeral of my Mother, Freda Sketchely. In particular my thanks goes to Colum O'Shea who was professional and sensitive in his dealings with my family throughout and in particular on the day of the funeral. Nothing was too much trouble for Colum and his personal approach made a very hard day easier to bear for us all.  I really cannot thank him enough.
    Regards, Elaine Pugh. 

  • 5 Carol Fox 4th Jul 2016

    Cant fault the service of Lymn's from first contact to the actual day of mums funeral - excellent and a huge thank you to all staff concerned helping to make it a memorable day for us . 

     

  • 5 Margaret Culley 26th Jun 2016

    Everything was handled very professionally and the whole process went smoothly without any hiccups.  This allowed the family to focus on the occasion without any distractions.

  • 5 Linda Lowne 23rd May 2016

     I felt that Colum and the team in West Bridgford were fantastic.  They supported me throughout and provided a highly professional service. This is the second time I have used Lymns and would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Sarah Dowdell 22nd May 2016

    Excellent staff and service.

  • 5 Conor O'Rafferty 10th Apr 2016

    I don't know where to start, from the first phone call with Matthew to the last words they were fantastic .. My mum who is fragile was put totally at ease by Matthew who treated her like his own mum .. Matthew Lymn Rose and his company made it feel like a celebration not a funeral ..  I can't speak highly enough of the professionalism ;)))

  • 4 Amanda Shipside 4th Apr 2016

    Excellent. Thank you for make this dreadful occasion easier. 

  • 5 Sandra Tye 15th Feb 2016

    Fantastic service from Sarah and Colin !
    They made this very sad time easier to deal with, their service was very professional and nothing was to much trouble .
    Brian and the other members of the team also made us very at ease !
    I think the only negative point and this is nothing to do with the staff at West Bridgford there should be a Meet and Greet person for anyone who has not made an appointment to take details and arrange a meeting to suit all parties ! This could stop clients going and trying other funeral parlour !

  • 5 Joy Parsons 14th Feb 2016

    A very efficient and friendly team. Messages were clear and contact maintained throughout. The order of service was very tastefully done and we felt that there was personal attention and care at all times.

  • 4 Chris Clifford 14th Feb 2016

    There was a delay in receipt of the Orders of Service which was disappointing to say the least
    I received a voicemail to apologise with a promise of a follow up
    This was not received
    Other than this Brian was excellent as were his ' team. '
    Chris Clifford

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Mr Clifford. First of all let me apologise again for this most unfortunate incident. I am a little further concerned because as Jackie could not get you by telephone she sent a letter first class on Thursday evening explaining that we would investigate. I did this on Friday andvwrotevtonyou yesterday but missed tyevSaturday morning mail collection. I will scan both letters and email them to you on Monday. Once again sorry. Nigel.
  • 5 Jo McKinlay 8th Feb 2016

    When your husband is suddenly taken away from you so young in tragic circumstances whilst abroad on holiday, you feel as if your world has been shattered and life just can't continue. Travelling home with our 4 boys without him was one of the most difficult things to do, but then in the midst of all the grief and nightmares you know you have to move forward and sort a funeral for him which will pay the highest respect possible to an amazing man. Little did we know, when we were abroad and forced to make a decision on which funeral directors to use without even having the time to visit and ascertain if they were the right ones for us, that they would indeed become friends and the rock and support that I needed over the torturous weeks to follow. Within a day of arriving back in the UK we were invited to Lymn's in West Bridgford for a coffee and a chat with Sarah and Colum. The warmth, care, attention to detail, compassion and personalities of them both became immediately evident and we knew we had chosen the right funeral director's. For them it must have been one of the hardest funeral's to arrange-a young widow, four children, repatriation of my husband's body and a funeral service which defied the "normal" and had 400 in attendance. But they handled every detail to perfection at the same time as handling me to perfection too!! My constant visits to just talk and cry were always welcomed with open arms, a kiss on the cheek and a juice immediately in my hand! Their advice and attention to detail in arranging what I'm sure proved to be a very time consuming funeral was immaculate.Their utter sensitivity and understanding at the horror of me having to identify my husband's body and the aftermath which followed was commendable.There support on the day of the funeral, leaving someone else in charge of the office so that they could both be with me throughout the day, and Sarah clutching my arm as we walked together down the aisle behind the coffin. And afterwards, when everyone else has moved on, both Sarah and Colum have remained there-always caring, always in touch and always friends. I have said many a time-I walked in a stranger and left a friend. I can't say enough to do justice to these two wonderful people. They went the extra mile for myself and boys and we will forever be in their debt for everything they did.Thanks my two lovely friends! xx
