I can’t thank Lymn’s enough for making a first time funeral experience go so perfectly.
I’ve never had to organise a funeral before but Santanna was so compassionate, calming and organised that we delivered a superb funeral for my father. He will have loved it.
Thank you
A.W. Lymn, Ruddington Team replied
Thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad that I could provide the support you needed during this difficult time. The Motorbike hearse to send dad off on his final journey was an extremely special touch. Our sincere condolences, and thank you for trusting us with such an important service - Santanna.

This company was outstanding.
Empathetic and patient. The attention to detail was lovely. My son was only 10 and wanted to walk in front of his Grandfathers coffin. Matthew the funeral director on the day looked after him and wore his school cufflinks as he knew he had gone to the same school as my son. They happened to both begin the same school House so Matthew was able to talk to my son at put him at ease.
It was a very difficult time and the lady I spoke to at the Ruddington branch was very experienced and kind and knew just what to say and was sincere, nothing felt contrived or scripted.
Costs were kept to a minimum and they helped us do this.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

Lymn's provided outstanding help from the initial chats to the final day. The service at the crematorium was absolutely lovely. Richard, the celebrant, was superb. His Eulogy for mam was something we all will treasure. Gary, on the final day, was also thoughtful and helpful. Everything was carried out with sympathetic feeling and efficiency.
All who attended mam's celebration of Life commented on the lovely service, from Order of Service, the words spoken and the slide show that depicte and celebrated mam's life.
I would not hesitate in recommending Lymns as a funeral provider.

Thank you for your kind words, we're grateful to have supported you during this time.

We all know that a funeral can be a big expense, but you only get one chance to say goodbye, and the care and compassion they showed to both the living and the dead was priceless. Gary, Santanna and the whole team made a very traumatic time almost bearable, and nothing was to much trouble for them. They are a credit to their profession and a credit to the company. The fine send off that my darling wife so richly deserved. I can not thank you enough.
