  • 5 Brian Needham 2nd Jun 2021

    In a time of confusion, emotions and the ability to think straight in what is a very short time to organise the burial of loved ones, you need support and clarity from complete strangers to guide you through both the process of but also the moment of great emotional out pouring on the day, you will not do wrong by asking and putting your trust in Lymn''s to assist in everything that is very new to anyone, the guidance through the professionalism of all the staff before, on the day and after is more than just a business to them.

    They are human too and understand everything that is alien to the individual.

    Many thanks to Joanna and especially Nigel for their personal support in our moment of time of reflection for mum.

    They went out of their way to accomadate all of our expectations and guidance of the technicallaties.

    Many thanks to all

    The Needham Family

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Brian. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to provide such a long review of the service provided by Joanna, myself and all of our family company, it really is much appreciated. As you are aware I have known your brother Michael for approaching 40 years and it was a privilege to be asked to personally oversee the funeral of your mother. I think I commented on the day that the service in the Chapel was delightful and I was so impressed to see the involvement of so many family and friends and it was a real pleasure to see the younger generation so much involved. On behalf of Joanna and myself we offer our sincere thanks for your high appraisal.
