Unfortunately A,W Lywn has degraded in service and lack of compassion. It is solely interested in the amount of money you can make rather than carting for the family or deceased. Along with the management having zero empathy or compassion. The embalmers lied on what they said there did saying they had cleaned and prepared the body for viewing and this wasn’t done. When complained to management, they didn’t care and just shrugged it off. Everything was for money. I wont use again. I will definitely be going to CO-OP funeral service next time. 

Lynn Sanders-Whittle 3rd Mar 2024

Excellent service, sympathetic, professional, not pushy…. Emma and Dominic are perfect :-)

Rosemary Raw 22nd Feb 2024

Dear Dominic and A.W. Lymn-Team, Many, many thanks for your help, guidance, empathy and organisation. We felt very looked after and supported during these sad weeks. Thank you to you all. On behalf of the whole family, Helen.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Mr Tonelli,
    I find it extremely disappointing that you have allowed three months to elapse before placing such an inaccurate review and making unfounded statements about the service provided by our family company. It should not go unnoticed that before placing the funeral arrangements with us you obtained estimates and guidance on the service provided by others including the Co-op and having done so selected our service. Throughout the process Dominic reacted to many alterations and last minute changes to accommodate your wishes. For example, changing the hearse to a horse hearse a few days prior to the service, making arrangements for you to witness your mothers coffin being placed into the cremator and staying late into the evening to ensure the visual tribute was as you wanted it as you had failed to supply it in accordance with the crematorium cut off time, about which you had been informed several times, and arriving early the next morning to ensure this had been received and was acceptable to the crematorium. Further the coffin furniture was upgraded at no cost to you and according to our paperwork our funeral on the day and the witness charge proceeded flawlessly. We do however accept that you had an issue, whether justified or not, when you came to dress your mother. I personally was informed of this and far from ignoring it came personally to see you within just a few minutes and was informed that you were dissatisfied with the cleanliness and preparation of your mothers hair. I immediately went to the preparation room and could see nothing wrong with her hair. It was only when coming back to see you that you referred to her “lady garden” being an expression I had never heard of, and so I had to ask for further explanation. I then left again to investigate further and, given the delicate nature of this subject, I returned with my fellow director, being a female, who I thought was more appropriate to investigate and support me in discussing this intimate female matter. Again I offered my sympathy to you and explained that we would not normally examine these intimate places unless there was some specific good reason to do so. You were unhappy with this explanation and neither my offer to come to speak to you at a more appropriate time, nor the company’s Managing Director’s written offer of 25th January were accepted although they both remain available to you should you so desire. I do not view this as indicative of “didn’t care and just shrugged it off” and I would suggest that if the other reviews for this office are examined it will be clear that your comments and 1* rating are completely unjustified.

  • 5 Susan Bettesworth 16th Jan 2024

    From the moment I met Dominic of A.W.Lymn to arrange my husband's funeral I was impressed by his calmness and care, his professional manner and attention to detail. Everything was explained in detail and he kept me informed at every stage of the arrangements. I felt very supported during what was a particularly distressing time, and I can't thank him enough.


    A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
    Thank you for your kind words, it was a privilege to be asked to look after your husbands service and I felt your choices of flowers and music really made the service special. Dominic.
  • 5 Jane Morris 14th Jan 2024

    Excellent doesn't seem enough praise for this absolutely wonderful service. Dominic made what was a real ordeal for me (my husband's death was unexpected) much easier than I thought it would be. He talked me through all my options until I felt comfortable with my choices and was so kind and respectful I really can't praise him highly enough. His 'team' was efficient and respectful and special thanks must also go to Lily, the celebrant, who gave a very moving address to send Rob on his final journey.

    I will forever be grateful.

    A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
    It was an honour to look after the service for Rob. Thank you for such a lovely review, I’m happy our team was able to make Rob’s final journey everything you had wished for. Dominic.

    It’s always a very sad occasion to look after the service for a baby but I felt the service in Church by Sue was lovely and it was nice to see so many friends and family there to say there goodbyes. Thank you for entrusting me in taking care of you through this very difficult time. Dominic.

  • 5 Ewa Michocka - Lowthian 2nd Sep 2023

    In what is the most difficult time in my entire life, the funeral director supported and guided me . Always incredibly compassionate, attentive. Nothing was a problem, highly professional and respectful. Responsive, regardless what time it was.
    They eased the load for me . Attention to detail was remarkable. The vicar conducting the service said that our funeral director was excellent.
    They made it possible to have a service we wanted. I felt that they looked after me and my husband. Everything worked well. They organised for specialist to deal with all music and videos and livestream of the service. The quality of it was second to none. And everything was done with utmost respect and care.
    I cannot thank them enough. In the times of pain and darkness it is good to know that there will be someone guiding you and making sure that I was ok . It wasn’t just about organising the service but also about each step all the way from the night I lost my husband.
    I would not hesitate to recommend AW Lymn . Thank you for everything you have done so far.

    A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
    Dear Ewa. I thank you sincerely for taking the time to leave such a kind positive review. Feedback really does make a difference, and to read such heartwarming words really does mean the world to us. When we met initially it was obvious to me that we were dealing with a very special man, and it was only right that the service reflected what an impact he had on countless lives, as well as all he had achieved. It was an honour to guide you through a difficult time and knowing what a difference myself and the team have made has a huge impact on us. I know you were in Dominic’s thoughts on the day, and I understand he was able to watch the livestream of the service. Take care, and we will speak soon. Edward.
  • 5 Carl Portass 26th Aug 2023

    From start to finish they made this difficult time go smoothly, constantly keeping intouch with myself and putting my mind at rest.

    On viewing my late mum it was just like she was just asleep and the personal touchers were just perfect, as I hadn't told them entirely what mum was like.
    Emma and Dominic from start to finish were friendly and welcoming and I would like to thank all of the staff on the day.

    A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
    Thank you for taking the time to write these lovely words. It was our pleasure to take care of you and your Mum and the service you created was a beautiful tribute to her. Dominic.
  • 5 Aileen Beet 7th Aug 2023

    The attendants were excellent and very sympathetic to the situation.  They took great care carrying the coffin and were very patient and kind at all times.  I would recommend them to anyone who has to organise such a sad occasion.  They definitely made things easier. Dominic and Edward were very very helpful and attended to things and organised everything very well.   Thank you.   Tony would have been very pleased.   Aileen

    A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
    Aileen, thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We are pleased everything met your expectations and I was pleased to hear you say Tony would have approved of all we did. A real honour to help you, and I know you were in Dominic’s thoughts during his leave from work. Take care, Edward, Dominic, and the team.
