We were very impressed with the help we received in the planning of the funeral and the dignity and professionalism all displayed at the actual service whilst also putting us at ease and ensuring we all knew what to do at the time.

Thank you for your very kind review. We are glad that you were pleased with everything the team at West Bridgford did for you and that you were treated with dignity throughout. We are however sorry that you were disappointed with Wesley media and the webcast of the service and that this has reduced your overall rating of the funeral to 4*.

There support and professionalism by the AW Lymn’s team in West Bridgford and others involved in this difficult time has been fantastic. They definitely made it easier and helped give the best send off for our father that was possible in Lockdown. I would recommend and will be in touch again with them when appropriate. I would like to say a big thank you to Andrew and Gaynor plus the rest of the AW Lyms team involved in my father’s funeral. Andy K

On reflection, although the day of the funeral service went well, the elementary mistakes in the funeral director’s administration procedures leading up to it, should not have occurred.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Chris, I am pleased that “The day of the funeral service went well” and that this will be the part of our service that you will always remember. I am so sorry that prior some content of an email was missed by our funeral arranger and although this resulted in a lower appraisal of our service than it would otherwise have been I am just grateful that the omissions were actioned in time for the funeral. It was very nice of you to mention to my colleagues that you remembered us camping together in the Lake District even though we have not met for over fifty years. Thank you.
4Simon Johnston16th Nov 2020
Excellent, but the green death cert form went missing within Lymns, and when we met the hearse in our cars in front of the West Bridgford shop/office, the Lymn van was parked in the way so that "assembling" our cars was awkward.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are glad that everything was excellent on the day and that you were particularly pleased with the Rolls-Royce Hearse used on the funeral. It is unfortunate that you felt the green certificate had been misplaced, this was not the case it was just that these arrive at our head office and with COVID restrictions in place limiting in person visits to our offices these can take a day or so to arrive at the correct branch. Finally we are sorry that one of our vehicles was parked in the client parking at the front of the office. We apologise that this negatively impacted upon your day but thank you for bringing this to our attention so that we can address it with the staff members involved. We do appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and are glad that overall you were pleased with everything that Andrew and his team did for you, but if there is anything further you would like to discuss with us then please do feel free to get in touch. Thank you

Professional and helpful with gentle guidance through funeral process
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind words regarding the gentle guidance and professional help given by Andrew during this sad time. We are only sorry that the restrictions in place due to COVID meant that we were unable to offer all of our services or to meet with you in person until the day of the service and that this detracted from the overall standard we were able to provide. Thank you.
