Simon and the team were fantastic at such an incredibly difficult time for us with the death of our beloved 13 year old daughter. We couldn't have asked for more, they were considerate, empathetic and professional throughout and we highly recommend their services
★★★★★
They have been wonderful in the way they have treated both me and my family while organising my husband's funeral. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Both before and on the day it was first class. They have my heartfelt thanks.

David and the team at C W Lyons, dealt with everything with compassion and professionalism. My father chose Lyons for his funeral and we were so glad that he did. When the time came, David helped guide us through the arrangements and went out of his way to ensure everything was stress-free and respectful of my father's wishes.
I would highly recommend their services and indeed the funeral plan.
★★★★★
Very friendly and professional service.
Definitely recommend to anyone that needs a funeral organised.
