  • 5 Angela Ellis 18th Jan 2024

    My family and I can confidently recommend using Lymn, West Bridgford branch, for the funeral of your loved ones. The service and advice was professional and everything absolutely ran to perfection on the day. We were not rushed at all in the early stages of organising the funeral itself. They outsourced a lady celebrant who was excellent in every way - Suzanne Wright.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Angela for leaving such a positive review. We are so pleased that you placed your trust in us to provide a service that was fitting, and that you would be happy to recommend us to anyone in similar circumstances.
    The team at West Bridgford.
