    Such amazing service and comfort at one of the most difficult times of my life I’m truly grateful for all the help and guidance given to our family words couldn’t even begin to describe our gratitude 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    It truly was an honour to be able to help you all at such a difficult time and I am pleased that you are so happy with the service we provided. I know that Mr Theaker was such a well-respected and loved person who would do anything for anyone, I only wish I could have met him in person.
    I am glad that the surprise of the London Routemaster arriving to take the mourners to the crematorium was so special and the applause it received from everyone on its arrival was so amazing. Please remember that I am only a call away and you are always welcome to call on me if you are passing. Thanks, Mark.

  • 5 Samantha Boiling 23rd Aug 2019

    Mark, Steve and all at AW Lymns gave my Dad the best send off I could have wished for. I had no idea what to do as I had not done this before. Mark took me through it all step by step with so much care and thought it was so much more personal than I could have imagined. I can't thank you all enough.
    You did my Dad proud and helped me do the same.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Please pass on my personal thanks to Samantha for allowing me and A.W. Lymn to ensure her dad’s final journey was all she wanted it to be.
     
    I am pleased that I managed to help her create a fitting funeral  for her dad along with Stephen Wakeling and ensure he returned to his home town of Nottingham.
     
    It was an honour for me to be there with her and the family throughout, and to be given a little insight to the wonderful man she called dad.
     
    I hope, if she is passing the office, she knows she is welcome to call in, and that my door is always open and I can always pop the kettle on.

    Thank you, Mark

    Our family have already used Lymn's on 3 previous occasions. I have already planned and payed for my own funeral as well. I would highly recommend this company.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Gloria, you are a special lady who gives so much to others less fortunate that you and it was my honour to help you with Pat's arrangements and to ensure that everything went as planned on the day itself. I cannot thank you enough for entrusting me to take care of both Pat and your late husband and I am always at the end of the telephone if you ever need me. Thank you, Mark.
