    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied

  • 4 Jacqueline Hallatt 29th Nov 2021

    The service we received from Lymns was very good. They are caring and very respectful and everything went well. The only hiccups we had was two of the pallbearers were stuck in traffic ( couldn’t be helped) but my husband and nephew stood in and actually that was fine and very moving to see them carry my brother in. The other error was his middle name was spelt incorrectly on the plaque attached to the coffin, which was a surprise as I watched Savanna write it down correctly at our initial meeting  - but apart from that  they were really good and I would recommend them to anyone . 

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for the review, and apologies for the issue with both the bearers and the mis-spelling of Linthwaite. I am assured that Santanna has spoken with you and apologised for these, and was grateful for your otherwise positive feedback. Thank you.
  • 5 David Pearson 26th Nov 2021

  • 4 Doreen Ottway 5th Oct 2021

    Andrew was very caring and efficient when he visited to arrange funeral. Slight hiccup with music at crematorium but we sorted this ourselves.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Apologies for the issue with the music, we understand Revd Chris Wheaton and yourselves made the final amendments at the Crematorium, and all was well before the service started. We hope the rest of the service provided by Andrew and Santanna was to the standard you expected, and deserved. Thank you.

  • 5 Diana Walton 31st Aug 2021

    From the outset, A.W.Lymn, and in particular their representative, Santanna Nightingale, were very professional. All aspects of the funeral service were discussed with clear explanations of the choices available. Once the decisions were made, everything was double checked. Santanna was very repectful, courteous and wanted to make sure we were happy with the final selections. She rang promptly if she had any questions and we felt the arrangements had been left in very safe hands.

    The service, on the day, was beautiful and exactly what the family wanted and thanks to Lymn's excellent organisation, ran very smoothly. We were extremely happy that A.W.Lymn had helped us give Steve the funeral service he truly deserved. Thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
