We had two face to face meetings, then several phonecalls in order to arrange and finalise the funeral for my Mum. The staff, both at the office and those who attended at the crematorium, were nothing short of friendly, knowledgeable, reassuring, supportive and respectful. Thank you to Georgia, Donna, Tony and colleagues.

Martyn Oliver 27th Feb 2024

A W Lymm were absolutely brilliant in arranging the funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and any issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently.

    A.W.Lymn Beeston were extremely professional, respectful and courteous in our most difficult time.
    We didn't need to think about anything on the day of the funeral it was all taken care of with an extreme amount of thoughtfulness.  The planning of the funeral itself was dealt with by Georgia in an extremely caring and respectful manner, we couldn't have asked for anything else.  

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you ever so much for your kind message. It was my pleasure to help you and your family through this sad time and I'm glad that everything went exactly as we had planned. Georgia.
  • 5 Lisa Ward 21st Nov 2023

    Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Nothing we asked for big or small was a problem. Lymn’s made the process of organising the funeral easy, they weren’t pushy in any way. They gave advice when needed and treated the family with respect and kindness. My mum had a beautiful send off and we had many comments from guests praising the funeral. Couldn’t have asked for any thing more. Thank you.
    From The Ward family. 

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Dear Michael, Lisa and Samantha, thank you for leaving such lovely comments for us. It was our privilege to take care of things for you. Judging by the turnout Linda had on the day, she was obviously a very special lady. Thank you again. Georgia

  • 5 Philip Darby 29th May 2023

    There is not a single criticism that I could make about Lymns Funeral Services. The way they carried out, what for the family, was an emotional occasion, with such professional, compassionate yet personable performance was second to none.
    I cannot praise them highly enough.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Philip. Thank you for your review. I am sorry that it was necessary for you and your family to call upon us. I am however very pleased to see that the service provided by Donna and her team at Beeston and Matthew and his staff on the day proved to be “second to none”. Nigel.

  • 5 Philip Robinson 7th Feb 2023

    We have found Lymns to manage the difficult balance of being both caring and professional really well. They have a compassionate manner and are flexible and very well organised - helping the bereaved to navigate through unfamiliar areas at at a sensitive time. Every action in the planning of a funeral is made clear and followed up so that nothing is left outstanding for the time of the actual funeral. We would recommend them unreservedly.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    I'm sorry you have needed my services again so quickly but I am grateful to you for once again entrusting me with taking care of you through this difficult time. Thank you, Donna.

  • 4 Mark Shouler 2nd Dec 2022

    All excellent, a little more information on how the days event would take place would have been a bit more helpful, but great other than that thank you very much

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your overall excellent review, it is much appreciated. I am sorry that you feel that insufficient information was given about how the days events would take place. You will recall that I spent a considerable amount of time the day before the funeral talking through the events but on the day the beautiful eulogies by the family took considerably longer than had been anticipated by either myself or the Minister, and as you are aware I made arrangements for the service to overrun by upwards of half an hour and for us to arrive late at the crematorium. I had not covered this in our previous discussions as of course I had no idea until during the service that the original timetable was not going to be met. Once again thank you for your generally high appraisal.
