We have used Lymn twice now for both of our parent's funerals as they are very professional and everything runs smoothly which is what you need at such sad times. They have been very accommodating and helpful at all times and I would recommend them 100%. S Aspinall March 2016

Richard Oswin 25th Mar 2016

The service provided by A W Lymn, mainly via Russell Kemp, was helpful, informative and compassionate and alleviated much of the worry and hard work that might expectedly be associated with making these arrangements at such an upsetting time. The funeral service was conducted without any problems whatsoever and I would highly recommend Lymn's to anyone.

A very professional, considerate and sympathetic service both before the funeral and on the day.

Led by Funeral Director Russell Kemp, who possesses extensive knowledge of Arnold’s community churches and customs, the funeral home is supported by Funeral Arranger Jessica Raynor and Receptionists/Administrator Beryl Spencer. Together, they offer compassionate and professional funeral services tailored to each family's needs.

- A welcoming reception area with two private reception rooms
- Three visitation rooms, including a suite with an adjoining private space for families

    There are no words in the English dictionary that adequately describe the wonderful experience of using A.W. Lymn's as your funeral directors.

    From the first contact with Matthew Lymn Rose, nothing, and I mean nothing was too much trouble to the family run business.

    They offer tremendous guidance and assistance at every stage in your planning for a beautiful and memorable "send-off" for your loved one - my beloved mother in my case.

    Their knowledge and experience is truly second to none, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who has the unfortunate need of assistance in dealing with a bereavement.

    A.W. Lymn is truly a compassionate and professional family business who offer a brilliant service in our time of need.

    Two words are nowhere near enough, but THANK YOU.

    Fantastic friendly and supportive service from the moment we made our first phone call. Ellie was the perfect balance of sympathetic and professional. Efficient throughout, she made sure we were happy and kept up to date, which gave our family great comfort through what was such a sad and difficult time.
    Russ rang prior to the funeral to confirm all our choices which again prevented any last minute worries we might have had.
    The cars were beautiful and the driver's kind and respectful, the journey itself was very comfortable.
    Our funeral director, Julia, immediately put our whole family at ease, thank you so much for allowing her to accept our special request to direct the funeral. I cannot put into words how supported and comforted Julia made everyone feel. Saying goodbye to the head of our family was so very sad but it was done with the utmost respect, affection and dignity and we could not have been happier with the service. Thank you all so much. The Brown family.
