Teresa took care of our arrangements and was very professional, showing empathy and understanding on the loss of our father. The whole funeral process went very smoothly and Teresa’s colleagues were respectful and caring. The flowers were beautiful. We cannot fault the service we received from Lymns and it was a very memorable day for us. Thank you
