Lymns were fantastic, Kim was brilliant nothing was too much trouble for her, very professional ,but friendly with it. The horses looked fantastic and behaved impeccably and the staff on the day were also excellent. A hard day was made much easier by the professionalism of the team. I can't thank them enough. I feel we did mum proud and we had a lovely celebration of her life. A massive Thank you to Lymns.

    We were and still are devastated at the loss of our fabulous mother.
    We contacted Lymns bulwell branch and arrange the funeral with help from Kim Nichols. She was absolutely brilliant. So professional, helpful and extremely sympathetic always, whether face to face or on the telephone.
    On the day of the funeral, the whole day was dealt with in a professional and extremely courteous manner throughout.
    I would recommend this company to anyone who would be unfortunate to require their service.
