Fiona was amazing from the first time we met her to finalise my mums funeral. Fiona has showed love and compassion throughout her time dealing with my family, she has gone above and beyond every step of the way. Fiona has also rang us and emailed us at every opportunity to keep us updated on things. My sister and I went to see my mum in the Chapel.of rest and Fiona treated us and my mum with care, dignity and respect. Fiona also attended my mums funeral.amd she was a huge support, guiding us throughpit the service. Fiona is a real credit to your company and I can't recommend or praise her giggly enough. Thankyou Fiona.

Fiona and her colleagues were absolutely fabulous.
It's the third time we've used you company and I'm of a mind to sort my Funeral out and prepay so it's all sorted for my son.
Many thanks
Dave.

The team really looked after us from start to finish. They answered all our questions at a really difficult time and made us feel like we didn't need to worry about a thing all day and in the lead up to the funeral.

A special thanks to Fiona and Kevin who looked after us all day.

Very friendly, professional and supportive. Everything was dealt with sympathetically and timescales explained clearly.

5 Michelle Smith 12th Apr 2026

From start to finish we have had nothing but outstanding service especially from Fiona Hall. The initial appointment was very hard for me but Fiona talked us through everything with compassion and understanding. Regular phone calls to check we were ok and regular updates. Mark Chapman the celebrant was calming respectful and compassionate with a beautiful service for mum. Cannot thank them enough for their help and understanding

From just minutes after the passing of our dear mother/-in-law, Director, Fiona Hall from Lymn’s was there for us. She and her team arrived promptly, giving Mum a dignified transportation from her home, to their smart Spondon branch. Their kindness, respect and professionalism made the worst day or our lives turn out to be smooth and reassured.

Lymn’s professionalism did not end there; throughout the entire process, Fiona ensured that we were supported, guided and comfortable with our choices and requests. Nothing was too much trouble and our wishes were always at heart of any decisions and duly accommodated. Always at the end of the phone, we were also welcomed to speak in person in the smart Director’s office, given hot drinks to pave our way through selections of of coffins, stunning in-house flowers, how and where we would like her funeral to be conducted and support to ensure our selected music was available too! Any bespoke requests were confidently confirmed as do-able and carried out to perfection on the day. Fiona dealt with much of the painful work on our behalf, whereby she contacted the burial ground, florist, church, orders of service, Telegraph announcements, our selected charities for donations – practically everything we would’ve found too traumatic to do ourselves and all included within the set price that was clearly given upon our first visit.

The day itself went like clockwork thanks to Lymn’s organisation and attention to detail; with a fabulous fleet of luxury silver Rolls-Royce we had a beautiful funeral and burial. We felt totally supported whereby we could just focus on ourselves and our needs, as our emotions were embraced by Lymn’s, thus affording moments of laughter, contrasted by moments of pure sadness.

Everything that we could’ve wished for was fulfilled with outstanding professionalism and compassion, for which we shall be forever grateful.

Commendations go to Fiona for her commitment and dedication to her role. Worth every single penny. Thank you, Fiona, and to your amazing team; you’re very special human beings

We cannot fault the love care and fionas dedication in looking after us during this time. From the care of picking dad up from home all the way to the funeral. Fiona has been a call or an email away with kind words support and advice. Absolutely 5star treatment if there was 10stars I'd give it.thankyou

5 John Whitfield 26th Jan 2026

We were recommended Lymns at Spondon by a family friend for our mum’s funeral.
From the very beginning Fiona Hall was exceptional. She showed genuine kindness and compassion, making an incredibly difficult time more manageable.
Fiona made us feel supported throughout rather than overwhelmed.
One small but incredibly meaningful gesture that will stay with us forever - on the day of the funeral Fiona wore a tie that perfectly matched the colour of mums funeral flowers. It was a thoughtful, personal touch that showed us how much attention she gave to honouring our mum.
We would also like to thank Karen the celebrant for the beautiful service she led for mum.
We cannot thank them enough for helping us celebrate mums life in such a special way.
John, Shelley, Sharon & family 

5 Yvonne Stevens 25th Jan 2026

This is not the first time we have used their services. On every occasion the staff have gone over and beyond their duties and genuinely looked after my family. Nothing is too much trouble. Quiet and courteous at all times but friendly and compassionate. Fiona and the staff at Spondon have been outstanding. My heartfelt thanks to them all. 

5 Lesley Redshaw 15th Dec 2025

My experience with AW Lynm Spondon was absolutely amazing. My relationship with Fiona from beginning to end was extremely professional, tender, understanding and without doubt the best experience I’ve ever had from an undertaker’s. So much so if anything ever happened to me I would want Fiona to do my service. I can’t praise her enough. 

5 Michael Woolley 9th Dec 2025

Excellent from start to finish. Couldn't have been better

5 Tony Morley 25th Nov 2025

Absolutely outstanding service

5 Peter Moar 23rd Nov 2025

A very comprehensive, high quality service, above and beyond expectations. Many thanks from all the family.

5 Heulwen Pearce 4th Nov 2025

The funeral service has been excellent from start to finish. Fiona Hall was our primary point of contact who skilfully and compassionately directed us through the whole process including the beautiful Welsh themed Orders of Service and matching family flowers.

Fiona ensured that we achieved a very fitting and lovely funeral, and a final farewell to mum. Other staff we briefly interfaced with (e.g. Kevin) were also kind and courteous to us, and to the whole family on the day of the funeral.

5 Stephanie Dodds 14th Oct 2025

Excellent advice and service from our first meeting to the actual funeral ceremony.

5 Michael Hay 14th Oct 2025

First class service. Fiona Hall at the Spondon branch provided advice and empathy at all stages and met all our requirements. We felt that she was giving us full and exclusive attention throughout.
One slight minus point. The online obituary page was of little benefit to us although perhaps helpful to other clients. In particular, the procedure for making on line donations seems clumsy in its use of the just giving page. In our case it was not clear from the original name of the charity on from the link to the just giving site that donations would be directed to the intended charity. Together with the Padley Centre, Fiona devised a bespoke link that clarified things somewhat.
I would suggest that rather than using just giving, your obituary page have a link for donations to be made directly to an account under your control, with appropriate donor name input, that would identify the deceased's nominated charity and enable you ultimately to transfer the donations received from all souces to the nominated charity.
I hope you will find this feedback helpful

5 Jacqueline Thomas 11th Oct 2025

Fiona and her team were warm and professional at all times. Their kindness made a difficult time easier. I would have no hesitation recommending them. Thanks for everything.

5 Robert Lowe 23rd Sep 2025

A really great service, for which we are hugely grateful.  Thanks for all the care with which the whole process was dealt with - this is very much appreciated.

5 Robert Lowe 23rd Sep 2025

Really helpful service - could not have been better!  I just want to say ‘thanks’ for all the caring help and assistance you gave us during this particularly difficult time.  Thankyou.

5 Deborah Slack 21st Sep 2025

I will be eternally grateful for the service provided at such an emotional time of my mother's passing.
Fiona dealt with everything in such a way she took all our worries away. Nothing was too much trouble and the changes we made were dealt with promptly and extremely politely. The respect and care was unwaveringly evident and the communication was always efficient. Thank you so much.
Thank you too to Mark Chapman the celebrant at our Mother's funeral. Mark was also so kind and respectful and gave a wonderful service for our mum and for us all.

5 Kim Harris 1st Sep 2025

Who want's to arrange a funeral, its a difficult emotional time but every step of the way I was supported. This felt like a family funeral and staff were invested in making it right for me. Thank you I would definitely recommend

5 Keith Shepherd 29th Aug 2025

Excellent service, particularly from Fiona, nothing was too much trouble. Our celebrant Mark also took great care that the funeral service was just how we wanted it to be. Many thanks to all.
