    Andrew was very caring and efficient when he visited to arrange funeral. Slight hiccup with music at crematorium but we sorted this ourselves.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Apologies for the issue with the music, we understand Revd Chris Wheaton and yourselves made the final amendments at the Crematorium, and all was well before the service started. We hope the rest of the service provided by Andrew and Santanna was to the standard you expected, and deserved. Thank you.

    From the outset, A.W.Lymn, and in particular their representative, Santanna Nightingale, were very professional. All aspects of the funeral service were discussed with clear explanations of the choices available. Once the decisions were made, everything was double checked. Santanna was very repectful, courteous and wanted to make sure we were happy with the final selections. She rang promptly if she had any questions and we felt the arrangements had been left in very safe hands.

    The service, on the day, was beautiful and exactly what the family wanted and thanks to Lymn's excellent organisation, ran very smoothly. We were extremely happy that A.W.Lymn had helped us give Steve the funeral service he truly deserved. Thank you.
