    We were very pleased with the dignified and helpful way in which all staff of A W Lymn conducted themselves. Courtney Kelham-Giddy described in detail all options and castings for every aspect of the funeral, with no pressure or time constraints being placed on our decision making. She maintained regular contact after our initial meeting to ensure that everything was progressing to time. On the day of my wife’s funeral all staff were very attentive and ensured that the service and burial were exactly as we wanted. We would have no reservations about recommending A W Lymn to anyone.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are really pleased that Courtney kept you well informed throughout the arrangement process, giving ample time and detailed information so that you could make your decisions. We are also glad that everything was exactly as planned on the day and we thank you for your kind words and for your recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you arrange a funeral?

You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.

How can I get help with funeral costs?

If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
