Scott is the ultimate professional, and deals with every situation in the correct manner. This is unfortunately our second funeral in a few months. The minute we walked back in, not only did he recognise us, he acknowledged the situation and took his job to the next level. Thank you Scott for looking after our family so well. Richard.

The funeral director made the process very easy at this difficult time, we wanted a routemaster bus for my husband's funeral held at a natural burial ground and they did everything to ensure that all obstacles were overcome so our wishes could be carried out.the bus driver is to be commended and all who were involved on the day.family and friends all commented how impressed they were with how smoothly and organised the funeral was carried out.once again we would like to thank Lynn's for their excellent service.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied

  • 5 Lyn Newton 22nd Jan 2018

    Impressed by everything, but was a little disappointed with the flowers for the top of the coffin. For £100.00 it didn't look anything like the double ended coffin sprays in the brochure, nor did it seem 3 feet in length.

    However we were thoroughly impressed with the cars and service provided by the drivers and bearers, and Scott for his compassion when sorting out the arrangements.

    The vicar was excellent, clearly spoken and everyone said at the end that they thought the service was a truly beautiful one and that we had done Joan proud.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your high appraisal of the service provided by Scott and the rest of his team at this sad time. We are glad that you were impressed by everything and Scott will also pass on your review to Reverend Halliday so he can see the kind words you have written about him. We are however sorry that you were disappointed with the floral tribute that was provided. As the flowers were included as part of one of our packages there was no specific value attributed to them but they were detailed as being 3 ft. in size and so this will require investigating for you. I will therefore ensure that the photographs of the tribute are found and looked at, and someone will be in contact with you directly once this has been done. Thank you.
  • 5 Graham Lacey 20th Jan 2018

    Nothing but praise for this company, a classy job just as requested
