  • 5 Jacqui Petrovic 12th Mar 2017

    The compassion and support given by each member of the team during this difficult period in my life has exceeded any expectation I may have had. The respect shown towards the living and deceased was genuine and sincere. Following the funeral service I have received numerous compliments from family and friends on how professional, yet personal the service provided by Lymn's was.

    In the nicest possible way I do hope that I will not have to call upon their services for a while but when that time comes again I will not be looking for an alternative company to take care of my loved ones.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We would like to thank you for this kind and detailed review. We are pleased that you found every member of the team to be compassionate, supportive and respectful, and that others in attendance also commented on the professional yet personal service provided. We would further thank you for your recommendation and hope that it is indeed some considerable time before you require our services again.
  • 5 Simon La Roche 12th Mar 2017

  • 5 Angela McLaren 12th Feb 2017

    A W Lymns were absolutely amazing during the recent death of my 29 year old daughter. They were compassionate, understanding and kind they saw to every detail and made sure that everything ran smoothly. They way that Andy was with the deceased 9 year old daughter will stay with us for ever. They truly were amazing and we can't thank them enough for helping us through such a difficult time in our life's. They have never once demanded payments or requested money, even after the event. They have gone out their way to ensure we have the appropriate time to get our heads straight following a series of sad events. We have nothing but love for lymns and would highly recommend them to others should they need to use such a service. Our heart felt thanks to Elaine, Andy and all the team at Lymns you are truly a fantastic team and amazing and the job you do. With love Angela, Hayley, olivia and all the family of the late Rachel Louise Burton xx

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Dear Angela, Hayley, Olivia and family. Initially we would say how sorry we are that it has been necessary for you to require our services for the funeral of someone so young. We would however like to thank you for this very kind review. We are pleased that Andy and Elaine took care of everything for you and made sure that everything ran smoothly so that you did not need to worry. We would also thank you for your kind words and recommendations.
