  • 5 Nicholas Gillott 5th Apr 2021

    From the first contact to beyond the service day, the support and advice given by the team at Ilkeston has been invaluable. Having never been through the process before the thought of everything ahead onto of losing Mum was overwhelming but Nicky, Michelle and Mick made each step bearable and went above and beyond on each query or request. Introducing us to Tracey Matthews was a blessing as she helped us remember the good times during the pain and everyone commented on how much the celebration she gave reflected Mum exactly. We still have a way to go before Mum is with her family but with Nicky and Tracey's help we know it will be the best

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are really grateful to you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review and it is great to hear that all the the team at Ilkeston made you feel at ease throughout this difficult time and beyond. I have also asked Nicola to forward your kind words onto Tracey Matthews. Thank you.
  • 5 Jonathan Doughty 16th Mar 2021

    From the first instance the support and direction from AW Lymn has been exceptional. Nicola has ensured that all aspects were covered and ensured a dignified approach with my Mum at all times.
    Mick and his team provided a very professional support on the day, reassuring and couldn’t ask for anything else on the day.
    Tracey our curator ensured that the day was all about our Mum, from initial contact to home visit where there was a genuine interest and warmth to get to know and during the service that heart felt warmth continued and we had the service we so wanted and Mum would have wanted about her life.
    Highly recommend and we thank you as a family. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for these kind words, it was a privilege to be the one to take care of you all and I am truly grateful that I was able to make such a difference to you and your family during this sad time. Nicola.
