From the moment we arrived to book the date, Kim was incredible. I felt the whole Team had put a caring arm around our shoulders. We were faced with delays from Doctors etc, but throughout all of this Lymns, we're so patient and the Funeral went without a hitch, never feeling rushed on anything. The team were so very kind couldn't have hoped for anything better. Many Thanks to all involved. Dennis Eyre, Judith Bond Joanne Carmel and Families.

Thankyou to all the team for helping us through this difficult time. The flowers were beautiful, and the Order of Service booklet was outstanding: A5 size printed on card with the poem Mum chose and 4 photos. This makes a lovely keepsake for funeral guests to remember her by.

Everything went very well as planned. Just one small disappointment, the entry song wasn't played. It was indeed an A* service. Thank you for all that you did to bring together a beautiful send off for our beloved brother/son. It was an emotional time for the family and you've made it possible to give him a send off he would have loved. A massive thank you on behalf of our family to A.W Lymn Bulwell.
A.W. Lymn, Bulwell Team replied
We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave this lovely review and we are glad that we were able to assist you in creating a send off that Donovan would have loved. We are sorry that the power failure at the Crematorium meant that one piece of music was not played as you wished but we thank you for your kind acknowledgement that this was outside of our control and that we provided an A* service. Thank you and take care. Paul and the team at Bulwell.
