    We couldn’t have asked for better service and care nothing was too much . The funeral service was perfect and extremely professional staff and very helpful which all made a hard day a little easier 

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Rachel, it was a real honour for me to have looked after the arrangements and conduct the funeral for your dearly loved and well-respected mum. The full capacity in the church was a real testament to the impact she had on so many people. I'll treasure the memories I have of her, and I am pleased she is now resting in her home village. Take care, Ed.
  • 5 Jacqueline Granger 17th Sep 2023

    I was guided gently, painlessly and kindly through every step of what is a terrible thing to have to arrange, that of my husbands funeral. The staff at the West Bridgford branch must be applauded for being so helpful during a difficult time. I went to visit my husband and he looked so peaceful, a process, granted with costs, that I would recommend. Thank you all for your care and professional guidance.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Jacqui, it was a pleasure to be able to guide you and your family through the arrangements for Terence. I am glad to hear that we were there to make it easier and that the chapel of rest experience was a positive one for you. Thank you for the kind feedback and all the best to you and your family-Santanna.
  • 5 Philip Lovett 9th Sep 2023

    My sisters and I are very grateful for the wonderful service we received from A W Lymn who have supported us at every stage and assisted us in ensuring that our father's long life was appropriately honoured.

    From the first phone-call made in which I spoke to Edward through to the funeral service and cremation, we have been treated with compassion. All of our dealings with the company have been professional and personal.

    Santanna worked hard to reduce the stress in the process, demonstrating a level of calm professionalism that gave me confidence that the all important details were being attended to. She communicated with me on an almost daily basis in the lead up to the funeral and I felt assured that everything was in hand and under control.

    On the day of the funeral Matthew took personal charge of the direction of the ceremony. His attention to detail and his professional yet caring manner was much appreciated by my sisters and by me. Matthew ensured that our family were comfortable with the arrangements and demonstrated a level of planning that gave me confidence that the ceremony would be to a standard that our father would have loved - and so it turned out.

    We are very grateful to the whole team at A W Lymn who helped us to deliver a fitting send-off for our much loved father - thank you.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Philip, thank you for your full and thoughtful review of your Father's Funeral Service. Having gone through the process with your Mother fairly recently we appreciate that we had some clear ideas on what was to happen, but knowing that Edward, Santanna and I supported you and your sisters well is important for us. Personally, it was a privilege to look after the Service for your Father, and to hear that you think he would have loved it, really does mean a lot. Thank you.

    Martin, I am pleased to hear that you were happy with our services and we were able to help you create a fitting tribute for your father. All the best - Santanna.
  • 5 Helen Whitt 29th Aug 2023

    From start to finish Santanna Nightingale & Andrew at Lymms were excellent.  I have not arranged a funeral before and we laid my mother to rest within a fortnight of her passing.  I cannot recommend Lymms highly enough. 

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    I am pleased to hear that we were able to help create a fitting tribute for your late mother and it is nice to hear that your experience with our services were excellent. Thank you and all the best, Santanna.

It means a lot to us here that we were able to assist you with your wife’s passing and that you found our help and guidance excellent. I am pleased to hear that the service went well and that we were able to create a personal and fitting tribute for Brenda. From the Elephant flower tribute made by our florist, City flowers, to the Routemaster bus. A true celebration of Brenda’s life. Thanks again Steve and all the best from Andrew and I.
  • 5 Colin Blake 22nd Aug 2023

    From initial contact through to the funeral itself, we received a very professional and respectful attitude and approach from everyone we dealt with. I was greatly impressed on the day of the funeral with the respect shown towards my father. I cannot express how pleased I was with every aspect of the process. I would definitely recommend your services to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation. Thank you for your kind care and attention.

    Having used Lymn’s previously, we knew we were in reliable hands. Our mother’s funeral arrangements were handled with complete professionalism, with clear communication and attention by Santanna and Andrew. The celebrant Richard Marshall was helpful throughout and delivered an excellent and respectful service. Thank you to everyone for once again making a difficult day as painless as possible.

  • 5 Grace Collar 27th Jun 2023

    I would like to say that the whole family were very impressed with how the whole thing was done. The 'horses and lovely carriage was just as I had hoped it would be and suited everyone I am sure. So much care had obviously gone into this and it was a lovely way to honour a man who had always loved the animals. Thankyou to everyone involved. The Order of Service and everything about the whole service was really well done. The music was just as we had asked for and fitted in well with everything. Father Shaun did a wonderful job throughout and everyone seemed really pleased with the result. I must also mention the excellent performance and lots of thought that had been given by the sons and how proud their Dad would have been of them as he always was. Many thanks to all at A. W. Lymn a wonderful celebration of Peter's life.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you for such kind words. I am so pleased that you were happy with everything that we did for you, and that we were able to help you give a fitting send of to someone who was clearly loved so much. Andrew.
  • 5 Kathrine Cutts 16th Jun 2023

    I could not have wished for a better service. My Husband Nigel would have been delighted with the hearse and funeral car, as he loved vintage motors, and few funeral directors could have provided such grand transport for his final journey. The kindness and understanding from the staff was a great comfort, whilst also caring out the necessary admin . Thank you A.W.Lymn .


    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Mrs Cutts, it brings great pleasure to hear that the service we provided for your late Husband Nigel couldn’t have been better. I think the hearse and the following car added a really special touch to his service and looked lovely on the day. Thank you for taking the time to leave such positive words and behalf of all of us here at A.W Lymn, we wish you all the best. Santanna.
