"Russell and staff made sure everything went smoothly. The funeral of my wife Patricia Anne Taylor was carried out with great dignity and sympathy. Despite the awful weather it was a day of celebration of Pat's life."
— gordon taylor (about Russell)
"They explained everything that was required to myself and my sister so that we didn't have to worry about any of the arrangements on the day of the funeral. They were very caring and thoughtful at this very stressful time."
— peter king
"As a family, we felt recognized and valued the effort made to comprehend how much our mother meant to so many individuals. This enabled us to say our final goodbye exactly as we had envisioned; we could not have been in better hands, as they ensured that a very difficult day unfolded seamlessly."
— Anne Ward
"I was dreading arranging my mums funeral recently, but from the very first phone call they have been nothing but kind, polite and caring. Jess was amazing and if she wasn't available the other members of staff always apologised and gave me the same level of service. There was no pressure and I didn't feel rushed to pay the bill."
— DB (about Jess)
"Jess was a gem, she was responsive, kind and attentive to anything we needed. They made my Gramps's funeral so special, with nothing being too much, every question answered with genuine care and warmth."
— H Elizabeth (about Jess)
"Mark, the funeral director on the day, was absolutely wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a kinder person to have carried out the service. He was so respectful, explained every step, never rushed us, and was so gentle with all of us. I just can't tell you how grateful we are. It was everything we hoped it would be for our gramps and more."
— H Elizabeth (about Mark)

I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to all the staff at A.W Lymn’s Arnold for their thoughtful and respectful support during my mother's funeral. From the office staff to the pallbearers and drivers, we were expertly guided through this deeply challenging period by their professional assistance. This enabled us to say our final goodbye exactly as we had envisioned; we could not have been in better hands, as they ensured that a very difficult day unfolded seamlessly. The entire experience was remarkably professional, from the initial contact to the day of the service, and the consultation with the celebrant was exceptional. As a family, we felt recognized and valued the effort made to comprehend how much our mother meant to so many individuals. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Excellent. The family were delighted with the funeral service for a lady who was in her 101st year. We achieved exactly as I wanted, an intimate, relaxed, celebration service coupled with dignity and care. We couldn't have asked for more from the staff at Lymn's in Arnold throughout, their interest, help and organisational skills during the planning were second to none and their attention, support and timing on the funeral day were superb. Thank you to all concerned - it was perfect.
