When my dad passed away unexpectedly, Sarah and the team at Lymn went above and beyond for me I just can’t thank them enough. From start to finish they were amazing, kind, compassionate and so gentle with me while I was trying to navigate through a really hard time. I would recommend Lymn a thousand times over. They made a really confusing and difficult past few months just that little bit easier. Thankyou Lymn I will be forever grateful. Jessica Priestley.

Best wishes to you and your family. Sarah.

On meeting Sarah I was Immediately put at ease and l felt she really understood what L was feeling.From the initial meeting to the day before the funeral l knew she would be be able to answer my queries (which she did on several occasions) The production of the order of service was immaculate and was a credit to the printer.Andy was the Funeral director and l was comforted by his reverence and respect and his caring made a difficult day more bearable.Even the gentlemen who fetched my husband were so caring towards me.I have nothing but praise for all the team at Lymn's

Many thanks to Sarah and her team in Ollerton for an excellent, sensitively handled process from beginning to end in managing our Dad's funeral arrangements. At one of the most difficult times in our Mum's and our lives they were faultless. Would not hesitate to recommend Lymn's, Ollerton. Cannot praise them highly enough.

5Michelle Drury11th Feb 2023
We had to deal with organising a funeral from a distance which I can tell you is not that easy when you are trying to deal with the loss of a loved one. Sarah was kind caring whilst also being understanding and supportive in every way. Her guidance was definitely needed and very much appreciated.
Also we cannot thank the rest of the team for all of their support also, this also goes for the celebrant Colum who on the day made us feel very much at ease and did a wonderful service for our dad..
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Michelle, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review, I am pleased I was able to help you with my support and guidance at such a difficult time. Sarah
