Myself and my family cannot speak highly enough of Lymns. From the minute we initially spoke, they were incredibly comforting at what was a very difficult time and that comfort and sensitivity was present throughout. Mark, Kevin & Jess were who we spoke to regularly & they were simply wonderful. Thank you for giving our Nan/wife/mother Sheila the celebration of life she truly deserved.

The funeral was professionally organised for us.
We were helped through every stage with respect and helpfulness.
On the day we were told what was happening and what to do which make the experience less stressful.
Would recommend using Lymn. Thank you.
