5Sandra Bodill20th Jul 2026
From our first visit to A.W. Lymn Arnold we were greeted by Russ Kemp with compassion, respect & efficiency. What could have been an arduous task became straight forward, but gave us the space to make our own decisions in our own time with no 'hard sell' Found funeral 'services guide' particularly helpful as it covered every aspect of what was required. The actual funeral was beautifully arranged, carried out exactly as we had requested - leaving us with lovely memories of the 'Celebration of the Life' of a much loved Husband, Father, Grandad & friend to many. With Many Thanks,
Sandra, Rachel & Clare.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
We are so pleased that everything went well for you and the family, from first meeting together and to the day of the funeral.

5Anne Ward16th May 2026
I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to all the staff at A.W Lymn’s Arnold for their thoughtful and respectful support during my mother's funeral. From the office staff to the pallbearers and drivers, we were expertly guided through this deeply challenging period by their professional assistance. This enabled us to say our final goodbye exactly as we had envisioned; we could not have been in better hands, as they ensured that a very difficult day unfolded seamlessly. The entire experience was remarkably professional, from the initial contact to the day of the service, and the consultation with the celebrant was exceptional. As a family, we felt recognized and valued the effort made to comprehend how much our mother meant to so many individuals. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
Hi Anne, your words of appreciation certainly has been received and hugely appreciated by the staff here at Arnold.
