Absolutely beautiful from start to finish, as hard as planning a funeral goes, Paul made us all at ease from the moment we met him. Thank you for a wonderful send off. 

Linda Hunt 22nd Oct 2023

All staff so very thoughtful and caring. Mark who dealt with us was excellent and so efficient and very thorough explaining everything from the start right through until the end. We would defiantly recommend you. Thankyou so much for everything you did for us at the most difficult time.

Michael Tracey 15th Oct 2023

Cannot recommend Lymn’s Carlton branch highly enough. The professionalism and compassion from Paul were just what was needed at a difficult time. Excellent communication and guidance through all practical matters. It made me totally appreciate what an indispensable necessity a good undertaker is. They do an excellent job. Thank you Paul.

I know how living away a lot of the time has made things doubly difficult for you and Stephen’s family but with our combined efforts we made sure Stephen had a memorable goodbye.

  • 5 Tracey Jayne Dean 8th Aug 2023

    A.W.Lymn based at Carlton have been so supportive and helpful throughout all of the arrangements for my husband's funeral
    From the initial phone call to arrange going in to speak to them, to the funeral itself, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff if I needed help or advice
    They kept me informed about everything and were always courteous and kind.
    The funeral was carried out with care and dignity.
    Paul, who led the funeral for us, I cannot speak highly enough of. He was always approachable when I needed help or advice on anything, and he is so kind.
    All of the staff were so discreet in their presence but also highly professional.
    At a very difficult time, I was helped by the staff at Carlton and I cannot thank them enough for making such a sad event bearable. I am so grateful of the help you gave me to make my husband's funeral such a loving tribute for him, it was exactly what I wanted for him.
    Thankyou for everything.
