    From the very start, we knew that we were in safe hands with Emily and Andrew (and team at West Bridgford).

  • 5 Stephanie Pearson 8th Aug 2026

    The staff at A. W. Lymn West Bridgford could not be faulted. Their professionalism, compassion and care were exemplary. We felt listened to at all times and they were quick to respond to each and every query. Every member of staff that we came into contact with showed such kindness and understanding and we were kept informed every step of the way. The funeral was everything we could have hoped for and there must be a special mention of the beautiful orders of service. A heartfelt thank you to Emily (who dealt with every query with good grace and for recommending Suzanne to take the service) and Gary for his helpfulness on the actual day. We are so grateful to you all for making a difficult time much easier.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied

They introduced us to our celebrant, Suzanne, who was the perfect choice, both in assisting with the Eulogy and order of service, and in the way she conducted the service with empathy and understanding which meant so much to the family.

  • 5 Gill Flint 27th May 2026

    We had a good, helpful initial meeting with Emily at the West Bridgford office.
    Initially I was not enthusiastic about going to Wilford Hill Crematorium for the Funeral but Emily arranged a meeting for us so that we could view the newly refurbished Main Chapel. I was impressed with what they had done and that put my mind at rest. Emily maintained contact with us and guided us through all the preparation for the funeral.

    She suggested that Richard Marshall would be a suitable Celebrant for us. This was a good decision. He gave us all plenty of time to talk about my husband and to plan the service which he conducted calmly and with empathy.

    I am pleased that I saw my husband the day before the funeral.

    On the day Andrew was helpful, calm and attentive throughout.

    Thank you all

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you, Gill for such kind words. It was an honour help you and your family through this difficult time and create a fitting service for Bill. All the best, Richard, Emily and the West Bridgford team.
  • 5 Alex Francis 12th May 2026

    A W Lymn arranged the funerals of our mother and we had no hesitation in returning to them after our father passed away. They have always been supportive, respectful and cared about the individual. The funerals were beautiful and a perfect celebration of mum and dad.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Alex, we are pleased that everything went as you had hoped and we were able to assist you providing a suitable send of for your father, and that it was consistent with that of your mothers, the abundance of bow ties on display was a lovely touch and showed affection felt for your father. - Andrew & The West Bridgford Team
  • 5 Tom O'Dea 11th May 2026

    Very professional, attentive and efficient. The day ran smoothly and many of the mourners thought it was a beautiful service. Can't praise Lymn's highly enough for arranging the service and for appointing Father John for providing my Mum with the perfect send off.
