Compassionate and professional throughout, Tina inparticular, nothing was too much to ask she is a lovely warm and welcoming lady, I doubt my nanas day would have been as beautiful as it was or ran as smoothly as it did without her and the lymns team.
Everything was explained, every little detail was covered, and I without a doubt will be happy to recommend lymns for anyone experiencing these hard times, they made it that little bit easier. We honestly will never be able to thank them enough.

5Angela Barlow6th Oct 2018
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.

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.
