4Lisa Horton22nd Apr 2018
Excellent service, only negative i can find is the choice of Vicar for the service who did not really prepare in advance and made it feel like he was reading off a piece of paper.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive review, we are pleased that Kim and Nigel offered excellent service both beforehand and on the day itself. We are however sorry that you were disappointed with the Vicar that we suggested. He is a local Church of England Minister who leads many services for our family company and we can only apologise that on this occasion you felt that he was not properly prepared. If you would like to discuss this further with us please do not hesitate to contact either Kim directly or Matthew or Nigel at head office. Thank you.

All the staff were so supportive and kind, I felt truly embraced by there kindness and the attention to detail for Duncan were superb. Thank you
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this lovely review. You did so well arranging and making sure everything was about him, from the music to even having all mourners wearing Christmas jumpers, which I thought was a wonderful idea as Duncan was always Santa. Everything you did for Duncanâs funeral service would of made him proud. Thank you, Kim.

I can not thank you enough. Funerals are an emotional thing to arrange, but you was there every step of the way. Making phone calls to me to make sure that the day was in order from the start right until the end. From Kim at the Bulwell office right up to the cars and the funeral cortage. Couldn't fault anything
Thank you so much for making a very sad day a very special one

Stacey Bentley, Funeral Director for Lymn's Bulwell, is such a compassionate, caring, considerate, professional, and thorough person I have ever encountered. Stacey has helped me make my grieving process much easier. Stacey is my saviour. Stacey is an asset to the Lymn's family. I HIGHLY commend and recommend Lymn's. Thank you to ALL of your staff and an extra special thanks to Stacey for going above and beyond. Bless you. My Mum received the most outstanding care and presentation from when Lymn's received Mum to her final demise. A huge THANK YOU to the Pall Bearers who were very respectful and carried Mum beautifully. It really touched my heart. Thank you to the driver of the Hearse, and to everyone who helped prepare Mum. Because I am 5000 miles away, Stacey really was wonderful from beginning to end. Keeping me informed of every step. She really helped with my emotional state. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone. Bless you all. xxx

Stacey has also asked me to add how pleased she is with the kind comments you have made and with how satisfied you are with the service she provided. Thank you.

The price is very expensive so that has a lot to do with the review. Caroline was absolutely fantastic and did all she could to help us and talk to us she was absolutely fantastic. There was a couple of errors but they have sorted this quite fast and efficient
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for you very kind words about the way you were looked after fantastically by Caroline. We are however disappointed to see that there were a couple of errors with the funeral and although these were addressed straight away for you we are sorry that they ever arose. We also note your comment that your three star rating of our service was predominantly determined by the fact you found us to be expensive. We do not aim to be the cheapest, but we do aim to offer a service of the highest quality at a competitive price and so are disappointed that you did not feel that we achieved this. If you would like to discuss anything further please do not hesitiate to contact either the Bulwell office or myself. Thank you
