Very friendly and helpful people thank you

Elaine Brown 15th Apr 2019

The level of service & compassion we received every step of the way was excellent. Joanna was so helpful, she went through every bit of detail with us every step of the way & nothing was too much trouble. We were also treated with the same level of compassion & respect by the staff on the day. You have all made a very stressful, upsetting time a lot easier to cope with, thank you.

Christina Weldon 30th Mar 2019

Lymns could not have been any more caring and compassionate. The whole experience of arranging my husband's funeral was 1st class from start to finish.
