The whole process directed by Sam Turnbull at the Lymn's branch in Ollerton was outstanding. The attention to detail was perfect at every stage of Mums funeral, resulting in a send-off for my late Mum which will forever be remembered, for so many positive reasons.

From the initial meeting the entire process was handled with sympathetic professionalism. Samantha at the Ollerton branch kept in regular contact to guide us at every stage.
Andy the funeral director was first class in overseeing things on the day and helped when the grandchildren stepped up as pall bearers.
We would recommend A W Lymn without hesitation
Helen Halliwell19th Feb 2025
Was very pleased with the overall service from AW Lymn. The funeral arranging was excellent as was the organization of the day itself. We had logistical issues with us both living many hours away but Sam was excellent at working around this and was very flexible. Jonathan did an excellent job on the day. Only criticism would be attention to detail from the engravers, if a family member hadn't visited the day before, we would have been very upset on the day of the funeral to see that one of the plaques had the name spelled incorrectly - the others were correct. This was quickly rectified which was great but would have been upsetting if we hadn't seen it beforehand.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, Helen. I am so pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the overall service and that the funeral arrangements and the day of Dad's funeral went as well as it could have.
We do sincerely apologise for the issue with the engraving, and we fully understand how upsetting it could have been as I know how it's been an issue for you as a family throughout the years. We're glad that we could quickly address and rectify it for you. Kind regards Sam
5Claire Bamford17th Feb 2025
I cannot thank A W Lymn Ollerton enough for the help and support in arranging the funeral. They made the whole process so easy and were very compassionate and understanding and helped us make the funeral exactly as we wanted it. They explained the all options and allowed us to make what choices we wanted and did not try to push us into any choices. The support from Sam both before and after the funeral has been fantastic and I cannot thank her enough for this. Also the support from Jonathan on the day of the funeral was also invaluable.
They made a stressful situation much easier for us.
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Thank you for such lovely words, Claire. It was my pleasure to look after both you and Mum during this difficult time. I know Dad would have loved how you made things so personal to his life throughout the funeral. Kind regards, Sam

From the moment I made contact Lymns were supportive, sensitive and respectful of our wishes.

At such a difficult time, you couldn't have asked for more from AW Lymn. Sarah was so kind and thoughtful, even letting us bring our dog Scooby to the appointment. We had more than enough to deal with so them just taking all the pressure off was amazing. Highly recommend.

5Ellen Munroe29th Jul 2024
The care and support I received from my very first contact with Sarah at A.W.Lymn
to the actual funeral service has been outstanding. At all times she went over and above expectations to meet our every need. The advice and support I was given throughout the planning and decision making process was of the very highest standard.
The organisation of the day and the professionalism shown by all of the staff involved was also excellent.
I could not have asked for better service and commitment and I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm at such a difficult time . I had received a number of price quotes from various firms before I chose A.W. Lymn. Their quote seemed the fairest and the best value for money. It certainly was and I am so glad I did eventually choose them. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic service from Lynn's. From the start contacting you and arranging the funeral and discussing what we wanted at the service at the crematorium. The cars arrived on time and the gentleman driving the cars was very supportive and drove with care. The service at the crematorium went very smoothly with Malcolm and it was a lovely service what we had planned.
Thank you so much for a fantastic service you provided. Love from the Dixon family x
