Everything from start to finish was amazing- great thanks to Fiona. Every single detail Fiona did with compassion and care. In the last year myself and family used your services - can’t say enough of this fantastic woman she is so dedicated. Everything ran smooth on the day thanks to Fiona looking into every detail.

Wendy Alfrey 23rd Sep 2019

Sadly I have used Lymns funeral directors twice in the last 18months on both occasions Fiona Hall has been excellent, efficient compassionate and respectable she is a lovely credible person. A person whom I  can rely on to meet all of my wishes. I have no hesitation in recommending Lymns as a thoroughly professional company from start to finish.

    Fiona made the whole process very easy and comforting at a very sensitive time.
