I can highly recommend AW LYMN ARNOLD. Their service was the model of professionalism, from the moment I first contacted them, until after the burial. One person, Emma, liaised with us throughout and she made what is inevitably an upsetting process as bearable as it could ever be. Communication was via phone, email and in person and was clear, sensitive and helpful and Emma coordinated the service with our Priest excellently.
The funeral, overseen by the excellent Russell, went very smoothly and with great dignity.

Right from the first phone call everything was done with so much respect.Emma was amazing always having plenty of time when you needed it to talk. We were able to give Dad an amazing send off at Gedling Crematorium, where everything was done to such a high standard. Could not have asked for more. Russell and colleagues were so lovely putting us at ease and helped us through a very difficult time. Thank you to everyone who was involved in looking after Dad and giving him the send off he so deserved.

Excellent service, well conducted and handled with care. The only thing I would say is that crematorium slot was a little tight but that is no fault of the funeral dorectors.

5Tony Hudson22nd Jan 2021
Absolutely seamless and compassionate throughout much appreciated in a very difficult time thank you all so much
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Tony. Thank you for the outstanding appraisal of our family firm which is much appreciated. It was particularly sad for me to oversee Julie-Anne’s funeral having known you for many years. The number of people lining the streets in both Woodborough and Lambley was an outstanding accolade to the respect and love that was held for her and was a beautiful and poignant way to mark her life by those unable to attend the funeral during the current pandemic restrictions. You must be so very proud of her. Nigel
5Lynn Bradley16th Jan 2021
All staff I spoke to were very polite and kind. They were very patient and guided me through the process step by step. It was a difficult time yet I felt able to ring with questions.

Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are glad the team at Arnold offered great support during this difficult time, always being on hand to answer any questions and adjust any arrangements, and we are pleased that the service went well. Thank you.
