Thank you Kevin for taking the time to leave your heartfelt message, it is very well appreciated in these difficult times. In arranging the funeral details, from the conversations we had and telephone calls I have received your mum was a very well loved lady and will be sorely missed. Karen.

Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you Janine for taking the time to leave a lovely message, at not only a time of your loss but as you explained difficult circumstances also, where services had sadly been withdrawn, it was imperative to me that I kept you informed of the updates on guidance we were receiving and I thank you and your family for understanding. Karen.

From the moment I walked through the door for the first time Karen has been absolutely lovely and really helpful. She kept me upto date about what was happening all the way through the process. Was so patient with me when I changed my mind about things.
Then on the day of the funeral Andy was lovely and helped us through the day.
As a family we cannot thank them enough!
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
I am so pleased I was able to guide, help and arrange everything you wanted - and am glad that my frequent phone calls so you could come in to check things helped. Thank you, Karen.
Karen has asked that I pass on her personal thanks for your kind words which make her feel proud to be a funeral arranger. Thank you.

5Denise Parkinson 15th Nov 2019
Karen was perfect. In every stage.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
It is wonderful to hear that Karen was perfect and that she looked after you so well during this sad time. Thank you.
5Lesley Chapple 28th Sep 2019
The service provided by Karen in your Sutton in Ashfield branch was exceptional, Karen couldn’t have been more professional, kind and understanding in all aspects related to Ruby’s funeral .
On the day of the funeral everything was carried out to perfection.
The only thing we were slightly disappointed with was the wreath which was provided in with our funeral package, the quality left a little bit to be desired .
Thank you all for your kindness .
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review, particularly in regard to the care, kindness and understanding shown to you by Karen during this sad time. We are glad that everything was carried out to perfection on the day but are sorry that you felt disappointed with the quality of the flowers supplied as our floristry department is generally so highly rated. We hope that the donation we have made to Dementia UK in memory of Ruby suitably marks our regret regarding this. Thank you.

5Gill Phillips22nd Mar 2019
Excellent service from initial contact right through to the actual funeral.
Communication was superb and at no time did we feel we were being hurried or asking silly questions. Advice was freely given without any pressure and we never felt that we were being steered to pick more expensive options.
Would wholeheartedly recommend A W Lymn in Sutton in Ashfield for a respectful, professional service for your family.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We are glad that Karen gave good advice and helped you create the service that you wanted for your Aunt without any pressure to select options that were not for you. Thank you.
5Trevor Gill 13th Feb 2019
They could not have done better than they did this is probably the wrong word to use but it was a perfect service from start to finish, and that has been told to me by many of our large family that live locally as well as by many friends. I thank Karen Horton the Sutton Branch Manager, and Andy and his team on the day as well as Andy's visit to me in the early stages of planning the funeral. Excellent all round and 10 Stars out five is the only way I can put it.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this wonderful review, both Karen and Andy are delighted to read the kind words you have written about the service they provided and the comments you have received since from both family and friends.

Thank you very much for the professional funeral service you provided for mum.
Right from the beginning we found you to be caring, supportive and professional.
Nothing was too much for you. You took the time to listen to family wishes and took time to look after mum.
When times are difficult it is the kindness of people that help us to get through a very difficult time.
Thank you, you really made a difference.

5james valentine19th Oct 2018
the funeral and arrangements were above my expectations.
the only fault I could find on the day was the inside of the personal cars could have been a little more time spent on cleaning. no disrespect to the driver or company but as a person that was in the same line this could have been a bit better.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to review the service provided by the team at Sutton, we are pleased that they exceeded your expectations. We are however sorry that you were a little disappointed by the presentation of the vehicles and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you. Thank you.

5Ian Smith 24th Sep 2018
Everyone in the Lymn's office in Sutton in Ashield was incredible. They are so caring and human and also very professional. My mum's funeral happened just as we had planned it and went off without a hitch. The people involved were so respectful towards mum and very concerned to please the family and I. I would not hesitate to recommend Lymn's to anyone and will certainly use them in case of future need.

Chloe Lymn Rose replied

Karen.
