I can’t speak highly enough of their service.
Danny, Jess and Mark and his colleagues on the day, were beyond exceptional.
All very calm and understanding, nothing was too much trouble for them and it was extremely comforting to know my mum’s funeral was in safe hands.
I shall be forever in their debt.

Thank you so much to Danny, my mums funeral couldn’t have been made any easier, Danny led the way and helped my sister and myself through this difficult time.

I was sorry to see you again a little more that a year later to arrange the funeral of Mrs Whitaker but am glad I was able to replicate many of the tailored elements so that her funeral matched Mr Whitaker’s before. I am grateful to you for taking the time to leave this kind review and if there is anything more we can do for you please do get in touch. Thank you, Mark.
5Janice & Dennis Tring9th Jul 2021
Our family have used Lymns many times over the years for the simple reason that they give the absolute best and professional service. Nothing is too much to ask of them and they do it all to perfection. Could not have asked for a better ‘goodbye’ for my husband and their aftercare is excellent. Thank you, Lymns. You will remain our ‘family’ funeral directors into the future.
A.W. Lymn, Carlton Team replied
It was a privilege to help you create such a fitting tribute to Dennis, including a final visit to the City Ground, and I am glad that you felt everything was perfect on the day. Thank you, Mark.
