Sadly for my family we have had to use the services of Lymns 4 times in the last 3 years. On every occasion they have been absolutely first class. Special praise to Edward for being just perfect in managing everything on the day and Emily who sent our family a lovely message on the morning of the ceremony. It is the little things that mean so much. You make the pain easier to bear. Thank you .

Thank you, Rona. You have clearly been a great friend and support to Shelagh over the years as she entrusted you to complete her final wishes. We had a few unexpected surprises along the way, but we are grateful for your help to resolve them to ensure the day was how Shelagh wanted it, minus the rain perhaps! Take care. Emily, Andrew and the team at West Bridgford.

To you all, we were honoured yet saddened to be yet again entrusted by your family, to look after the arrangements for Joyce, a lovely lady who I was pleased to have met. Jim you delivered another fantastic tribute which really encapsulated a wonderful life well lived and I think we were all incredibly moved by the video of the dance. Take care everybody and thanks again. Edward, Emily and us all.

Thank you so much for making the planning & the actual day, go as smoothly as it all did. Your staff are great, very polite & helpful. I have a special thank you to Jackie who led the funeral day organisation. I know Jackie from crossing paths at Wilford View Care Home & I also know that she wished to 'lead' our funeral, even on her day off. Thank you Lymns for everything. X

Thank you Susan for your most kind feedback. It was my absolute privilege to oversee proceedings at the funeral for your lovely father. I was mightily impressed by grandson Sean's command of the service ( like a professional celebrant) and the wonderful tributes, full of love and laughter that you each delivered. George will live on in your hearts.
Jackie and team West Bridgford.

Everyone at LYMN’s has been very kind and considerate from the moment they collected my father from home to the end of the funeral. Andrew, at West Bridgford, has kept us informed throughout, been happy to rearrange dates when requested, even checking we were ok when he was on leave and went through everything with us the day before the funeral. He couldn’t have been more helpful and made a sad occasion as stress free as possible.

Thank you Alex, it was an honour to assist you to provide a fitting tribute to your father, I hope you feel that he would have approved and been proud as I am sure he would. It was clear by the attendance how highly thought of he was. Thank you again, Andrew.
