    Throughout a very distressing period for our family, all of our dealings with AW Lymn have been nothing but positive. The staff in the West Bridgford office were always kind and compassionate and guided us so helpfully and professionally through the whole process. I'd like to make particular mention of Sarah Hall, who did such a wonderful job - nothing seemed to be too much to ask of her and she really helped to make the funeral a very special occasion for us.

    Many thanks for the excellent Funeral Services provided to our family concerning the passing away of our Mum. Lymns professionalism in dealing with all aspects of the various requirements and family requests were handled efficiently with no fuss leaving us to focus on handling the grieving process and support vulnerable family members. You never want to have to use a funeral director but I would definitely use Lymns again in the sad circumstances when one is needed. Thank you

    The staff I dealt with at the West Bridgford office were absolutely brilliant. There was some difficulty in obtaining the piece of music I requested for the service but Sarah and Callum managed to organise it for me. I cannot thank them enough.

    I am pleased that we used a celebrant to conduct the service, Victoria did a fantastic job. They all helped to make a difficult day a little more bearable. Thank you
