Many people commented thst it was the best funeral they had ever been to...and that was people from all over the country. I have nothing but praise for all concerned. It was the saddest day in my life but conducted brilliantly and with great sensitivity.

Jean Powley 2nd May 2017

The family were very sympatheticall cared for, both before and during the service. Friends remarked that they were visible when required and then seemed to vanish at the appropriate moments. Very professional. Lymn's were recommended to us and we would certainly recommend them to anyone who regretfully is in our situation.

Christopher Riley 24th Apr 2017

All in all, very satisfied and am sure that when they have moved into new premises five stars will be in order.Also pleased that Mark suggested we think about using the new cemetary at Gedling.also like to thank Andy and the drivers On the day.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for this positive review, we are glad that you were pleased with Mark's suggestion for the venue and will pass on your thanks to the drivers. We are however sorry that you reduced your rating to 4* due to the current premises, but as you mention we are planning to relocate this branch later in the year to the Willows Medical Practice, situated just a few doors further down the hill, and so hopefully this will address this issue in the future. Thank you ---

    By Chloe Lymn Rose - 25th April 2017

    --- Update - We are pleased to announce that our team at Carlton have now moved to their new premises just down the road, which was the former Willows Medical Practice, and they would welcome anyone who wishes to call in to see them or simply have a look around.

  • 5 Caril Hill 28th Mar 2017

    Once again Lymn's were very professional when dealing with the funeral of our Mother. They were also supportive to myself and my Brother when we read out our eulogies interspersed with various music clips at the chapel.

    The Carlton branch were extremely helpful and supportive through every step of our journey.

    The Ruddington branch were also very professional and sensitive when they collected our Mother after she had passed away at home.

    We would not hesitate to recommend Lymn's to anyone.

  • 5 Andy Owens 18th Feb 2017

    Overall a pleasant experience to set up the funeral, and a respectful service on the day. Mark listened well to my needs, and had some good suggestions. The whole process was made as uncomplicated as I needed, wih very clear communication of what was needed from me. This truely is an "all under one roof" service, when you dont want to be thinking of the details and coordinating arrangements, and good value too.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased that Mark was able to coordinate all aspects of the service for you making the arrangement process as uncomplicated as possible and would thank you for this kind review.
  • 5 Nicola Barre 10th Jan 2017

    I was fortunate enough to never of had to arrange a funeral before. When our Mother passed away before Christmas, I found the whole idea so daunting and stressful. I can't praise the two Mark's at Lymns in Carlton and any other staff involved with the funeral enough of our Mum enough.  Everything from start to finish - from the moment I walked into the Funeral Home, was carried out with such care, respect and professionalism and nothing was too much trouble. For such a big company I was surprised at how everything was carried out with such a personal touch. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We are pleased that both Mark's made you feel at ease and were able to alleviate some of the stress of making the arrangements from you and are glad that you felt personally looked after as this is very important to us. Thank you.

    We were very grateful for the excellent services provided by the two Marks at such a difficult time. Their expertise and professionalism from start to finish was second to none and a great help to the family. The funeral was planned to perfection at every stage and as a result went off without a hitch on the day. Please pass our sincere thanks on to them not only for managing the practicalities of the event but for the compassionate way in which they conducted themselves. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they gave us comfort and confidence that everything was going to be alright.


    Many Thanks Stuart & Maggie Gillespie.

  • 5 Suzanne Martin 11th Dec 2016

    I can not praise Mark Collishaw at Lymns, Carlton highly enough. From the first time we spoke to him he was friendly, approachable but professional all at the same time, He guided us through the process of arranging the funeral offering advice and reassurance at every stage. Lymns arranged a non-religious celebrant for us to conduct the service and referred us to Victoria Corder. Vicky spent a lot of time with us to arrange a fitting tribute, as well as offering advice and help when arranging the actual service. She was amazing. On the day of the funeral, Richard who led the bearers was calm and professional and at all times we were reassured by his continuing presence at a difficult time. I would thoroughly recommend Lymns every time. Thank you helping to make a difficult process a little less upsetting.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for this wonderfully detailed and positive review of the service received from the team at Carlton and in Particular Mark Collishaw and Richard. We are pleased to hear that they were able to make a difficult process a little less upsetting for you, and that you found them to be friendly and approachable whilst also professional. I will also pass your review onto Vicky so she can see your kind words. Thank you.
