5Janice Jackson26th Aug 2022
They went above and beyond to make the day go smoothly and our wishes were listened to and carried out fully. From your 24/7 phone line availableto the pall bearers, drivers etc.all wearing pink ties to an unexpected poem that was read to my small grandson after the service by Jonathan saying how is daddy will always be with him and at all times it was done with pure respect for my son and his loved ones he left behind. It's the little things that count to make you feel yours is the most important funeral they have. Thankyou to all of you, Wendy, Stacy,Jonathan, the drivers and those we never met. X Janice, Glenn and of course little Riley.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied

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.

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.

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.
