Lymns covered everything we could need, all the things you don’t think about when you lose someone. And after the funeral is over they have continued to support us when asked.  All the staff were respectful and caring and made the experience as good as it could be. We would highly recommend them.

I can not thank the team at hucknall for the outstanding service they provided myself and family throughout such a difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble and the team took such wonderful care of my mum and ensuring we met her wishes

Jane Smith 18th Mar 2023

Looked after us very well at a difficult time and everything went smoothly despite appalling weather! We were given plenty of guidance and were flexible when making choices and suggestions to suit the life and personality of the person who had passed.

    Only one thing wrong and that was the wrong song was played as we entered. Everything else was good and Richard was very good.

We are however very sorry about the confusion with the music where the Elvis track "Love me" was played instead of "Love me tender" but we are grateful to you for the kind understanding show at the time.

  • 5 Kimberley Howitt 18th Jul 2022

    I didn’t think I’d be writing another review so soon, after the passing of my sister and her baby and now the passing of my partner. There was no doubt yet again we went with Lymns. Outstanding service and profession throughout. I can’t thank Catherine enough for all her support and Diana too. They make me feel so welcome and answered any bizarre questions I had. Words aren’t enough to describe how incredibly supportive they was with everything. I knew Steve was in very good hands. Hopefully I won’t be coming in again anytime soon to arrange another funeral but I’ll certainly miss popping in and talking to you both. Thank you so much 😊♥️

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    It was our pleasure to offer you support at such a sad time especially with three loses in such a short space of time. No one should go through that kind of pain in a lifetime and especially alone. We are honoured you chose Hucknall Lymn’s to help provide the funerals for each family member. We don’t just provide a funeral service, I like to think we are also here to provide support, give guidance and sometimes develop new friendships too. The door is always open to continue that support. Thank you, Deanna & Catherine.

  • 5 Donna Quibell 25th Jun 2022

    From start to finish I have felt looked after by caring and supportive staff. They have made a difficult time a little easier to deal with. I would highly recommend others to use their service.

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    I am sorry it was necessary for you to need my help once again but I am glad that I was again working from the Hucknall office so able to support you. Thank you for this lovely review, Deanna.
