Dave's funeral was very personal ,he enjoyed his allotment, breeding birds & worked unloading lorries,this is why we hired the truck, had veg wreaths instead of flower. From the moment Dave was taken from home by AWLymn is knew Dave was in safe hands, we met Stacey to arrange the funeral & she was very knowledgeable but sympathetic. Johnathon was fabulous on the day, he was respectful, professional & friendly. Losing someone close is very hard for everyone involved but AWLymn made it so easy & undaunting. This is the first funeral I have had to organise & I was anxious but there was no need to be ,everything was perfect.
