    Very comprehensive and professional service. We were particularly impressed with Colum Oshea who was excellent as a Celebrant and incorporated our requirements very precisely. 

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    I felt privileged to have been asked to officiate this ceremony as I remember you and your family well Andrew from being the funeral director for your father, so to be able to see you again in my new role was lovely amidst the sad circumstances. Your eulogy was beautiful as was the video message from the Grandchildren in Australia. I am glad you were happy with everything A.W.Lymn provided during this time. Thank you, Colum.
  • 5 Helen Fowell 14th Jan 2023

    Santanna and her team were brilliant at this sad time. From the start she was very helpful and followed all our wishes. Everything was conducted very professionally and myself and the family had no worries. The funeral usher Andrew was well organised and Gedling crem was a pleasant setting. The minister, Canon Reverend Wheaton was very approachable and met with us before the service, and made sure I was comfortable just prior to giving my readings. The family and friends were very happy, and we felt we gave mum a good send off.
    Highly recommended.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review and for again putting pen to paper with the thank you card. I am pleased to hear that you felt well supported throughout the arrangements and that the rest of the team were well organised and just as supportive in this time of need. I am happy that together we were able to create a special tribute for your mother. All the best Santanna

  • 4 Graham Buckell 5th Dec 2022

    Generally excellent - only one minor issue over a change in viewing at very short notice.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Graham, I am pleased to hear that everything was excellent for you and we were able to assist in giving Julie a fitting tribute. As for the last minute change in the visitation time, we do try and accommodate as much as we can for every family that we serve. However, in this instance, it did delay things slightly for you and your family and we do pass on our most sincere apologies for this. It was a pleasure helping assist with the arrangements for Julie and we wish you all the best, Santanna.

  • 5 Holly Saunders 14th Oct 2022

    It's something you don't want to do, don't know which one to choose and you're not thinking straight but...

    Lymm's was excellent, start to finish. The people who you deal with will keep in contact, guide you through the process and gently remind you when you need to do something.

    Santanna from the West Bridgeford branch dealt with our sad passing and she has been very kind and helpful.

    Thank you for making this most awful time a little less painful.

    The Saunders family

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Holly for taking the time to leave such a kind review and I am delighted to hear that the funeral arrangements were as smooth as could be resulting in a perfect send off for Paul. I wish you and the girls all the best. Santanna.
