From the first phone call with Fiona Hall till the end of the funeral service we could not have been better looked after. Fiona was very understanding and showed real compassion and care. Everything was fully discussed with us and at each stage she verified that we were happy with the decisions. The whole proceedings could not have gone better. We, and my late husband’s body were treated with the utmost dignity and respect. Thank you very much.

Fiona made everything so easy and stress free, and I don’t think people appreciate how much work is done by the funeral directors. Cannot thank them enough: the Silver cars were a beautiful addition to a very fitting funeral. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Fiona gets 6 stars.

Sadly we needed to use the services of A W Lymn for the fourth time in recent years. We cannot thank Fiona enough for her kindness, professionalism and compassion as we said goodbye to our lovely Mum. We wanted to arrange the funeral within two weeks whilst our daughter was still in the country. Fiona & Kevin managed to put everything together in such a short space of time. Nothing was too much trouble and Mum was treated with dignity and respect at all times. Fiona is more like a friend to us and we will be forever grateful. We would thoroughly recommend Fiona and her team.
A.W. Lymn, Spondon Team replied
It was a pleasure and a privilege to have been able to take care of your Mum. She was such a lovely person, I used to call her my little Polly pocket as I always wanted to just pick her up and pop her in my pocket and keep her safe. I’m honoured to have been able to look after your family once again, just a little sad it was sooner than we thought. we have had plenty of laughs and tears along the way and it’s true we are friends, and you are welcome to pop in for a cuppa & chat any time. Mum and Dad are now reunited together as they should be. Fiona xx
