  • 5 Lucinda Cox 27th Jun 2016

    We feel that the funeral director A.W. Lymn Arnold was outstanding when dealing with the funeral of John Arthur Horsley. Ellie was so professional and explained everything clearly and in detail. Ellie answered all our questions and was always available to chat through any queries we had in person or on the telephone. She guided us through an extremely difficult time and was caring and patient. Ross was also extremely professional and thoughtful on the day of the funeral.The celebrant Keith Brown was second to none and he delivered the service with compassion, honesty and impeccable professionalism. We highly recommend this funeral company and can't thank them enough for an excellent and wonderful send off for our loved one.
