My sister and I dealt with the West Bridgford office following our mum's death. Their attention to and understanding of our needs was excellent and nothing was any trouble for them with Santana giving a very personal service to us.

Charlotte May 8th May 2022

I can’t adequately express how amazing Lymn were - from beginning to end - in providing vouchers for, planning and executing my late father’s funeral. They went over and above in every aspect, even agreeing to arrange flowers to our own brief rather than insisting on the designs in their brochure, I have no hesitation in recommending them. They made a terribly sad, stressful, experience as simple and calm as it could possibly have been. Thank you! 

Victoria Spencer 2nd May 2022

The team were brilliant supportive and respectful.  They took care of everything. The service and burial were beautiful. They did my Dad proud.

    Handled with great sensitivity and compassion. Very expensive but I have nothing to compare with. Only thing that is stopping me giving excellent were some admin errors which caused a few unnecessary journeys.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this balanced and generally positive review. I am sorry that there was some confusion regarding a piece of paperwork and that this impacted upon your family, rest assured I have discussed this internally with the team at the office to understand better what happened, but please do accept our apologies for this. Thank you.
  • 5 Fiona Lewis 30th Apr 2022

    At a very sad time , Lymns we’re amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. We were helped through every stage with understanding and compassion.
    Anja , the celebrant was also just perfect.
    Thankyou all so much

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Fiona for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are pleased to hear that all of the arrangements went to plan and I feel privileged to have been able to see you through every step of the way. All the best- Santanna.
  • 5 Patricia Annesley 21st Apr 2022

    Sadly, another reason to use the services of Lymn's recently and once again the attention to detail was outstanding. Santanna in the West Bridgford office was especially helpful. My mother's funeral went without a hitch, so thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Trish for these kind words we really do appreciate it. I am so pleased that your mother, Marguerite, had a perfect tribute and that we were able to support you through this sad time. All the best – Santanna.
  • 5 Gary Atkin 18th Apr 2022

    The second funeral I have had to arrange unfortunately in the last four years and Lymns have been fantastic. Made everything simple and were so understanding. The staff at West Bridgford I would recommend to anyone in this difficult time. 

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    Thank you Gary for taking the time to leave these lovely words I am pleased that we were able to assist you in creating a fitting tribute for your mother. All the best- Santanna.
  • 5 Stephen Attewell 12th Apr 2022

    My little princess was 12 years old and it was one of the hardest days of my life.  Santanna at Lymns did an amazing job and is a credit to the industry, the funeral Director Matthew was fantastic, the attention to detail, colourful attire, the balloons on the cars and so one were just so much appreciated. Matthew was kind, considerate and gentle  on the day with some very kind words and lovely support. Wayne our driver was also a credit to Lymns he was polite and professional but he too was genuinely a nice gent who really cared about his job and providing the mourners with a good service. I know my little girl would have approved and really liked Matthews Tie too :)

    Thank you to everyone at Lymns from the bottom of my heart bless you all. 

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Stephen. Santanna, Wayne and I cannot thank you enough for expressing what you have in this review. Looking after someone like Freja is in many ways the worst part of our job, young people should not need the service we provide. Having said that, you and the family put together a wonderful tribute to a special girl, and we only played a small part in ensuring the day ran smoothly. Thanks again, I will ensure all the team see your comments.

  • 5 Richard Dearnley 13th Mar 2022

    Five stars from us. Both Edward and Santanna have helped and supported us through the worst time of our lives, in arranging all aspects of the funeral for our son, Adam, who tragically passed away at 26 years of age.
    Santanna set up a Justgiving page for us to raise funds to provide defibrillators in memory of Adam.
    Everything on the day went ahead as planned - nothing was too much trouble.
    Friendly and professional service throughout this difficult time.
    With thanks,
    Richard and Tricia.

    A.W. Lymn, West Bridgford Team replied
    We warmly thank you for your kind words, and that you have taken the time to share them. We were all very saddened by Adam’s sudden passing. Santanna and I, and the whole team were pleased to be able to offer you support and guidance through an extremely distressing time. From all of us here, we wish you both, Jack and everybody associated with Adam well moving forward. Thank you. Edward.
