We chose Lymn's to take care of our beloved Mum because we knew the standard of their service was high. It was better than high, it was excellent! What a highly professional team. Russ Kemp took care of us, nothing was too much trouble. The arrangements were perfect. We are so glad we chose Lymn's. They provide a highly professional and caring service.

5Daylene Soar16th Nov 2020
I really am 100% satisfied with
A W LYMNS at Arnold,
They took me through every step of the way with great compassion and empathy,I was next of kin for my sister, and as we are on lock down, during COVID 19, it was made more difficult to deal with everything over the phone, and no direct meeting with anyone, till the day I went to the chapel of rest to say my goodbyes to my sister, that I met, Ellie Nightingale in person, who had dealt with me,to organise the funeral, and was able to really thank her for helping me through a very sad time, she was very welcoming, and friendly, she made my visit to the chapel of rest, more at ease and guided me through it so well, then at the funeral the next day, the undertakers and bearers that were there from Lymns! We’re really discreet, they were well planned as to how the funeral would be, but stayed in the background, while being on hand to oversee everything, while the service was conducted, it was everything I hoped her funeral would be and more, so professional and caring, I can not thank them all enough, for helping me through an exceedingly hard time in my life, it was made as stress free as they possibly could make it, our family have used A W Lymns since the early 1980s, for family funerals, I feel that speaks volumes for them, I would highly recommend them,
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review of our team in Arnold. I know that the COVID restrictions have made the process of arranging a funeral even more difficult for the families we look after and so I am really pleased to see that the support we were able to give was of such great benefit to you, especially the great comfort you felt after visiting the Chapel of Rest. Thank you, Ellie.
