Lymns went above and beyond to make sure the funeral was the best this kind of occassion could be. They were courteous and responsive throughout. Kevin looked after me from the start and guided me through what was a really difficult time. I felt he and other staff involved were also really interested in both me and my dearly departed, enough to meet all my wishes and ensure her send off was the best it could be.

Fiona was so lovely, she took me through everything step by step, making sure I was OK and didn't miss anything out. With her help planning the funeral was made alot easier and less stressful. She was there on the day which I thought was a kind touch. She gave a personal service without being too invasive. I will use her again if I am unlucky enough to need to plan another funeral

As soon as we walked through the door, nothing was a problem. Fiona was amazing and helped make a stressful time easy. Fiona also made a sad day very respectful and enjoyable, which was lovely. The celebate, Mark, was fabulous right from our first meeting to making the actual ceremony a time of reflection and joy. All in all Fiona, Mark and Lymns helped us give our beloved wife and mother the send off she deserved. The cars were the icing on the cake. My father has just said ‘Unforgettable’. Can’t recommend you highly enough and will certainly be using you all again when his turn comes. Thank you ❤️
A.W. Lymn, Spondon Team replied
It was my pleasure to be able to take good care of all your family at such a difficult time, and to make sure that Marg’s final journey was the best and she certainly went out in style, even through tears and laughter it was a lovely day. Fiona xx

Dont know how we got through it all without Fiona. She was so helpful and sorted out any issues we had re music etc. The cars were amazing and we really gave my dad a good send off as we pulled up at the crem. From beginning to end we had first class service. It wasn't all doom and gloom, we had a good few laughs with Fiona. She was brilliant so suited to the job and really is a people person. Thank you Fiona and all at Lymns. The Smith/Lavery/Simpson families

5Collette Harris10th Jul 2022
Fiona was amazing as was Kevin in helping me organise my husbands funeral, enabling me to give him the send off we wanted which was a tribute to his life, abs we had lots of comments saying as a funeral goes that was one of the nicest I’ve been to in a long time, Fiona did nothing of my parents funeral and I wouldn’t have entrusted my wonderful husband to anyone else that Fiona & Kevin and Lynms.
Thank you
Collette Harris
A.W. Lymn, Spondon Team replied
I am sorry it was once again necessary for you to need my help but it was my pleasure to be able to look after your husband, it was an amazing tribute to him and you did him proud.
