Thank you all so much at Lymn's Rainworth for organising the funeral of my Mum Mavis Joan Butler. From the beginning to the very end you made sure that everything that we asked for was done perfectly. The flowers and order of service sheets were beautiful, the cars were especially shiny and the coffin was lovely too.
Words can’t explain how grateful we are for the way that you Becky, your team and Phillip Dackombe looked after all of us from the beginning to the end of my Mum’s funeral.
You are all very special people and we are so in awe of what you do. I definitely think that Mum would have approved of it all.
Thank you again.

The service that we have received from Becky, Colum, Jonathan and Andy on 2 recent occasions within our family has been amazing....
On both occasions Becky supported us throughout the whole process taking care of every detail at such an emotional time in our lives. The team - Becky, Colum, Jonathan and Andy - were so professional. They were immaculately presented and they were so clear and articulate with instructions they were patient and understanding, compassionate, kind and caring and above all respectful.
Thank you all of you, you are a brilliant team. Cannot thank you enough.

5Anne Barke20th Dec 2024
Couldn't fault anything about the way they arranged for the funeral of my Mum.
They were so helpful, patient and sympathetic with the way they interacted with me at every stage. Even little things that I didn't even think of, which turned out really helpful, they did.
I would recommend anyone go to A W Lymn at Rainworth if I was asked.
Thank you in particular to Wendy, Becky, Max and Andy.
A.W. Lymn, Rainworth Team replied
It sincerely was an honour to support you and your family again, having originally worked with you at Rainworth when it was Hutchinson’s. It was lovely to meet with you again, albeit under such sad circumstances. Thank you, Wendy.
