Diana Walton31st 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.

Sympathetic and very helpful support and guidance from Andrew Brown at your West Bridgford office.
We couldn’t have asked for anything else from him at this sad time for our family.

With thanks for everything you have done.

4Maura Dziuba4th May 2021
All due care and respect were provided. We were very pleased with the care and attention given to my deceased mother and especially the time we were allowed after the funeral to speak with the people attending, given the covid restrictions at the time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are pleased to see that you were satisfied with all that Courtney and Jane did to help you and your family though this sad time, but are sorry that the current COVID restrictions meant that you were unable to have all the element of the service that you would have ideally wanted for your Mother.

Despite the Covid-19 restrictions Courtney handled the arrangements, for our Dad's funeral, in a very professional manner, ably assisted by Andrew.
This is the second time we have used AW Lymn at West Bridgford for funeral arrangements and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to future potential clients.

5Adrian Ancliffe24th Mar 2021
Mum had a pre paid funeral plan, so a simple phone call from the nursing home where she passed away to the local West Bridgford branch of A.W.Lymn started the process.
The whole thing was dealt with in a highly professional manner.
Special praise go to Courtney, the funeral arranger and Richard, the funeral Celebrant, both of whom were very thorough and caring.
The funeral itself could not have been better, a perfect send off. Beautifully presented cars arrived on time with Paul, our driver, doing an excellent job in difficult circumstances. Everything about the service, the Order of Service booklets, the poems and delivery by Richard was excellent.
The whole thing was beautifully coordinated by Jackie, our Funeral Director on the day, who looked after everything in a very professional and sympathetic way.
Everyone who was allowed to attend agreed that it was a lovely, fitting funeral for my Mum.
Thank you to all concerned.
Adrian Ancliffe
A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
Adrian, it was a privilege to take care of you and the rest of the funeral at the time of your Mum's funeral. The service was a fitting tribute to her and she clearly lived a long, full and fascinating life. Richard and Courtney also join me in thanking you for your kind words. Take care. Jackie.

Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are glad that despite the difficult circumstances you were treated with sensitivity throughout and received a personal service. Thank you.
4Frank Mitchell20th Mar 2021
The service was in general very professional. However I think the lead person could have been more proactive in the detail organization over the phone. Answers were always forthcoming but only as a result of specific enquiries, which at stressful times such as bereavement are not always obvious to the client.
I understand the restrictions imposed by the Covid virus, which makes the telephone contact vitally important to ensure things are not missed or overlooked.
I make these observation in a constructive way, not as a complaint
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Mr Mitchell, I was glad that I was able to personally oversee this funeral for you given our mutual friend and would thank you for this kind and balanced review. The current pandemic has made funeral arrangements very different to what we are used to and it is certainly more difficult to discuss all the elements of the service in a telephone call rather than during a face to face arrangement conversation. We have however taken your comments on board and will ensure that we learn from them. Thank you again, Jackie Lymn Rose.
1Anita Thompson16th Mar 2021
The way that we were dealt with from the beginning up until the actual funeral was extremely poor. There was a total lack of communication from the staff in the West Bridgford office. I cannot go into detail as it is too painful to discuss. I have registered an official complaint.
Matthew Lymn Rose replied
Mrs. Thompson. Thank you for getting in touch and sharing your concerns with me about communication between the West Bridgford Office and yourself. I am grateful for the time you have spent going through the detail, and very pleased to hear you describe the funeral on the day as being perfect. Thank you.

5Diane Michelle Davies7th Mar 2021
We recently used Lymms for our Mums funeral. From start to finish, they were amazing, they made a difficult time so much easier. The support with all aspects of the planning, from preparing the service leaflet , to ordering the flowers, was aided by Courtney, who did an amazing job.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this lovely review. I am glad that I made your experience as easy as possible through this difficult time. Courtney.
