  • 5 Alison Chambers 12th May 2025

    From the moment my mother and I stepped into the Beeston branch of A.W. Lymn, we were warmly greeted by Alex Skerritt, whose empathy and professionalism immediately put us at ease during what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time. His warmth, friendly manner, and reassuring smile helped us feel supported throughout the entire process of planning my father's funeral.
    Alex was exceptionally competent and thoughtful, guiding us through every step with clarity and kindness. He even visited our home to discuss the arrangements in more detail and patiently answered all our questions. On the day of the celebration of life, everything ran smoothly, and Alex's warm, calm and comforting presence made all the difference. He truly is a credit to A.W. Lymn, and we are so grateful for the care he showed our family.
    We also want to express our deep thanks to Richard Marshall, the celebrant, who was outstanding. He took the time to visit us at home and really listened as we shared stories about my father. He captured my father’s essence so beautifully, guiding us with sensitivity to create a service that truly honoured his life. On the day, Richard spoke so eloquently and with such sincerity, his words were perfect, and we will always be grateful for the way he helped us say farewell to our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. 
    Thank you, Alex and Richard, for helping us create a heartfelt and dignified celebration of life for a man who is so deeply missed.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Lauren thank you for this lovely review, it’s truly heart-warming that you and Alison feel this way, and it’s useful to us, to know we are treating and supporting our families correctly. It’s been a pleasure getting to know a little bit about Alison and yourself and working with you to help celebrate Dad’s life. You all did really well at a very tough time, and for the record, you all made our jobs here at Lymn’s easy, so if anything, you and your family deserve thanks, and praise, and you can be safe in the knowledge that you did Simon proud.

    Hugs and warm wishes Alex, Ilona & The A W Lymn Team.
  • 5 Gary Paul Clee 29th Apr 2025

    From start to finish we could not fault the very professional and efficient way in which the funeral was arranged and conducted. We were very grateful for the guidance, help and advice we received, and very much appreciated the kind and friendly nature of the staff. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you for this very kind review Gary. It was an honour to take care of Mum's funeral arrangements. Best wishes for you and the family for the future.

  • 5 Helen Fessey 8th Apr 2025

    Alex & the team went above & beyond to arrange everything for Dad’s final farewell. Always at the end of the phone & took all the stress out of a very upsetting and sad time for our family.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Helen, thank you for your kind words, but It was a privilege to help you, your sisters and all your family to say farewell to Dad, in a way that was special and meaningful. We are always here to answer questions, to give advice and help, even after the funeral. I am really pleased we helped with the stress at a very difficult time, and it means a lot to us to know we have done what we needed to do for you and all your family.

  • 5 Philip Cresswell 3rd Apr 2025

    I was happy with everything that was asked of A.W. Lymn (Beeston). They buried my sister in 1997 and my mother in 2025. I would use again if I had to arrange another funeral.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you so much for your kind words and for entrusting us with Mums funeral. It was an honour to help you organise the ceremony and to get to know your lovely family.
    Best wishes for the future for you and the family.

  • 5 Michael Robert Collins 29th Mar 2025

    My family’s experience using lymms was very positive and friendly.

     I Lona was fantastic and professional and she made the whole process effortless and less complex than it initially felt it was going to be. She had the ability to listen and interpret our ideas to tailor make the funeral to our exact needs

    The staff generally were extremely sensitive and respectful in a potentially difficult and emotional situation 

    The celebrant was fantastic and very kind and sensitive to my family’s feelings and supported us through the day of the funeral and delivered a professional eulogy and gave us physical support and guidance 

    All in all a very incredible positive experience 

    Thank you

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you so much for this lovely review Michael. It was truly an honour to assist yourself and Kevin with organising your dads funeral. I understand how difficult this time was for you and I am glad I could be there to help you through the process. I’m pleased to hear Mark helped create a meaningful service and that you felt supported on the day by the staff.
    Thank you for trusting me during this time.

    At a time of great personal sadness, the professionalism, reverence and courtesy of all the staff made the entire funerary process as seamless as it could possibly be.

    With the greatest of respect, I hope not to be using their services again in the near future; But, would heartily recommend anyone else facing such requirements.

  • 5 Ajay Mathur 17th Feb 2025

    Ilona's compassionate guidance gave me the confidence that everything would run well, which it did. Phillip, our funeral director on the day, demonstrated exemplary professionalism while handling arrangements with both precision and quiet dignity. Malcolm, the celebrant, went above and beyond by taking time to understand my wife's unique life story, ultimately crafting a deeply personalised tribute that truly honoured her memory. Each team member's dedication created a meaningful farewell. Thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you, Ajay for these kind words. It was an absolute honour to be able to assist you with the service for Iciar.

  • 5 Paul Newton 9th Feb 2025

    I used the Beeston office and I found them very supportive throughout the process. They had a structured approach to gathering all the information required for the committal service to proceed exactly as we wanted.
    We were able to look at different elements and decide which were suitable, with no pressure to take more expensive elements. We were also given time to reflect on the choices available and consult with other members of the family before deciding.
    On the day of the committal, they were present unobtrusively but ensuring that everything went smoothly/

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Thank you Paul, for taking the time to leave such a kind review, it is really appreciated by us all. I’m pleased to hear of your positive experience with the whole team at Beeston. I’m sure your words will bring that same comfort and reassurance to other families. Sending our best wishes, Kirby, Ilona and the team.

  • 5 Mark Foreman 16th Jan 2025

    I would highly recommend A W Lymn after having them conduct the funeral for my late mother.
    In particular, from the initial meeting to the end of the service Kirby was amazing!
    Her knowledge and advice was very much appreciated, as was her caring and compassionate manner. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was taken care of.
    She was also aided by Ilona based at the Beeston branch who was very kind and members from other branches to drive the cars and bear the coffin which were both pleasant and professional.
    The service was conducted Mark, the Civil Celebrant who took the time to learn about mum and added character and depth to the service which she would have loved.
    We’ve had many comments regarding how lovely the service was, how well the day was organised and how dignified mums final send off was.
    Genuinely, and under the circumstances the day couldn’t have gone any better…thank you so much.❤️

    A.W. Lymn, Beeston Team replied
    Mark, thank you so much for your super kind review, you know how much it means to us. It was a real privilege to get to know you and your family over the time we spent together and I thank you for allowing us to take care of Mum. Sending our love and best wishes to everyone, from Kirby (eternal ice-scraper), Ilona (who didn’t tie a single purple bow) and Tall Tom.
