My mums funeral service was carried out in the most professional manner. We didn’t have to think about anything as Lymns paid great detail to all aspects and nothing was too much trouble. They really ensured that I had nothing to worry about and the day went without a hitch. Happy to recommend them.

The service provided was exceptional from start to finish. Your kindness and professionalism at such a difficult time will not be forgotten. We'd also like to include Katie in this who conducted the service, thank you, such a nice lady. Also the printer of the service book which was wonderful. Thank you all again on behalf of Lilian and the family.

5Nigel Allen21st Jun 2022
I would like to say a Big Thank You to all the Staff that were involved in all aspects of our Dearest and much Loved Daughter Lyndsey Anne Allen , from our first meeting with Wendy who was very thoughtful and professional with us in our very fragile and sensitive state of mind , and from that point on the people we met were equally understanding, helpful and most of all professional, which on the day of the Funeral resulted in our Daughter having a send off fit for a Princess. Thanks again for all you did for us . Nigel & Sharon Allen and Family.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
I am sorry that it was necessary for us to meet under such tragic circumstances, but I am glad that with my support you were able to create a beautiful service for Lyndsey and that everything went exactly as planned on the day. Remember I am always here if there is ever anything more I can do to help. Thank you, Wendy.

A truly amazing team!
Lymns we’re nothing short of amazing.
From the moment I made the initial contact with them, my family were treated with the utmost respect and dignity.
I felt supported and cared for throughout the entire process.
I literally couldn’t fault a thing.
In a time of such immense grief and sadness, they made the worst day of my life bearable.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Thank you for your kind words. It really was my pleasure to look after you and guide you through the process and I'm glad that the service on the day was uplifting and a fitting tribute to your mother. Look after yourself, Wendy.
5Colleen Wagstaff30th Apr 2022
At a very difficult time Jonathan and his team could not have been more helpful, considerate and caring. Offering suggestions when asked but not intrusive. The arrangements were I’m sure what dad would have wanted and definitely would have approved of.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Thank you for entrusting me with the arrangements, it was a privilege to help you and I am glad that we were able to support and guide you in create a fitting service for Mr Rowson and one that he would have approved of. Thank you, Jonathan.
5Carole Papenfuss23rd Apr 2022
I cannot praise Jonathan Baker, the funeral director, and his whole team highly enough. The respect and kindness they showed to my late husband and our family were consistent throughout our dealings with them and no matter which member of the team was involved. Jonathan was especially helpful in making appropriate suggestions when I was unsure exactly which piece of music to choose or how many cars we might need. He never pushed any of their services, but gently guided me through all the choices I needed to make. The time I spent with my late husband in the surroundings of the chapel at Lymn's premises was an infinitely better experience than I had found previously and was a huge comfort. My husband's funeral was exactly as he and I wanted it and I would recommend Lymn's, Mansfield Woodhouse, to anyone.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
It was an honour to support you during this sad time and I am grateful to you for taking the time to leave such kind words. I understood how important it was to you that the service reflected Mr Papenfuss' interesting and varied life and I am glad that we, as a team, were able to help you achieve this as a fitting tribute to your husband. Thank you, Jonathan.
5Donna Fox5th Apr 2022
We have used Lynn’s mansfield Woodhouse for the funeral of my father 20years ago and recently my mother. On both occasions we found the service to be very professional and sensitive. We would not use any other funeral directors.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Thank you for your kind words, I am glad that we could help you and create a service that reflected your mum's life and character. Jonathan.
5John Kevin Davis5th Apr 2022

5Angela Hall25th Mar 2022
My husband passed away suddenly at the age of 52 and I was so distraught and shocked, but Wendy from AW Lymns helped me at every stage through the process of arranging his funeral, she was very knowledgeable, practical, accommodating to our needs and comforting and that took a huge amount of stress from me at the worst time. They looked after my husband treating him and me with care and respect. I would highly recommend them at what is probably one of the worst times anyone could go through. Thank you
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
I am truly grateful to you for writing such kinds words and am glad that I was able to make this terrible time a little more bearable for you. Please remember that I am always here if there is anything else I can help you with. Thank you, Wendy.
5Craig Sims21st Mar 2022
Extremely professional, courteous nothing was too much trouble. The premises of Lymns at Woodhouse gave a very much warm and loving feeling. I am a perfectionist myself, though found the service received throughout was faultless.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Thank you for entrusting us with taking care of the funeral arrangements for you. I am glad that we were able to support you and help you create a personal and meaningful service for your dad. Thank you, Jonathan.
5Susan Slack19th Mar 2022
I was very impressed with the care, patience and support my family and i receieved after my husband died; espiecally on the day of the funeral ,from the driver of the car.
The funeral arranger was very good and sympathetic and helped my Mother and myself arrange the funeral really well.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. I am glad my guidance during the arrangements helped and that you were well looked after on the day itself. Thank you, Wendy.
5Cyril Madigan5th Mar 2022
Stacy/Jonathan were very professional and treated us with respect and sincerity for the pre-funeral planning, Nigel was fantastic on the day and supported and guided us through the process.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Cyril, thank you for your very kind comments in regard to the way Stacey, Jonathan and the team at Mansfield Woodhouse provided their service in organising the funeral for the late Mary. I am sorry that neither of them was available on the day to oversee the funeral and I am therefore particularly pleased that you were happy with the way that I dealt with everything even though I explained to you on the day that I was a little out of my normal area being at Mansfield Woodhouse. Again thank you for the 5* review. Nigel

AW Lymn provide a seamless service taking the worry and anxiety out of what was an extremely stressful time. It was comforting to know there was a support network available with help and advice on hand. I would like to extend a personal thank you to all the team.
