Wendy Flynn 27th Jun 2022

David and Wendy from A W Lymn (Mansfield Branch) guided me through every step of the way. They were compassionate and professional at all times and I would highly recommend them.

Pauline Hopkinson 18th Jun 2022

They were extremely helpful with everything that needed doing. It took a lot of sorry off me and they kept us informed at every step even to get someone to talk about my husband's life.

Christine Orton 12th Jun 2022

We were delighted to have chosen A W Lymn to be mum's funeral directors when we initially took out the Pre-Paid Funeral Plan some 4 years ago. They were extremely helpful at that time and I must say they have been outstanding now that we have needed them to take care of the actual funeral and to look after our late mother. David's attention to detail is second to none, he explained everything very clearly and always with great respect and compassion. Nothing has been too much trouble for him and my sister and I are very grateful for his assistance. With his help and all involved at AW Lymn we gave mum the funeral she wanted and deserved. Sincerest heart-felt thanks Christine

    David and Team were thoughtful, professional and kind throughout a very shocking and Sad time for all. Thank you for the additional touches and also thank you to Annette (Celebrant) who kindly went above and beyond to provide a record of the service for Alisons father who could not attend.

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied

  • 5 Jane Burton 3rd Jun 2022

    When dad passed away and Jonathan came to collect him, the compassion and care never stopped right through to the day we said our final goodbye.
    David was very helpful when arranging the funeral for us - nothing was too much trouble, no matter how many times we changed and altered the plans. On the day I wouldn't have had anyone but Jonathan overseeing everything. (He did such an amazing job when we said goodbye to mum) He ensured everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything at all, just saying goodbye to Dad.
    Thank you all for your amazing care and passion for what you do.

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    I am sorry that we had to help you again so soon after Mum's funerals but I am glad that things were as you wanted and that David and myself were able to help your family again bring together a fitting tribute for your Dad. Thank you, Jonathan.

  • 5 Julie Prince 13th May 2022

    It's really difficult going through practical processes while suffering grief but David Clarke from Lymns in Mansfield helped me every step of the way. Always patient and kind, David advised in such a way that the practicalities were easier to deal with and understand. I was so grateful that arranging Mum's funeral was something I could actually achieve at such a difficult time.

    On the day of the funeral our family and friends were all impressed with the service and how well it ran. It was personalised to represent our mother and her life and so very special to us. Everyone commented on how special the service was.

    I can only say thank you but it isn't nearly enough.

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    Julie, Thank you so much for you kind words. It was my honour to help you arrange the service for you and your lovely family. Remember that I am always around if you ever need a chat. Take care, David.

    We never worried about anything with regards to the arrangements as we felt assured at the first meeting. The expertise of the firm and David was clear to see from this first meeting.

  • 5 Heather Bond 4th Feb 2022

    I would like to thank David Clarke of A.W. Lymn for a professional and courteous service from start to finish.

    Thank you for all the care you took of Andy, from the small things like when I advised that Andy's t-shirt wasn't to be tucked into his trousers (for when we could view) as it was something he never did, to calling him by his known name of Andy when his first name was John, only small things but it meant a lot to me.

    There was a problem with the coffin which was supplied by an outside company (nothing to do with A.W.Lymn) but David advised of the problem and sorted it out.

    Keeping me informed step by step of what was happening along the way.

    Nothing was too much trouble, email questions answered efficiently along with phone calls and knowing that I could call at anytime for advice.

    David wasn't sure if he would be taking the funeral as he was covering as someone was off sick but he did and I'm so grateful that he did, he was wonderful on the day of the funeral, advising what was going to happen and what we need to do and when. My daughter who came with me to the Mansfield office said what a lovely man,he really cares about the job he is doing and the bereaved families.

    I cannot thank David and all the staff of A.W. Lymn for all their support and kindness they showed us at our time of sadness.

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    Thank you Heather for this lovely review. It was a privilege to support both yourself your family at this sad time and I so glad that all the little touches made this difficult time that little bit easier for you. I am still at Mansfield so if there is anything further I can do for you please do just ask. Take care of yourself and your family. David.

  • 5 Darren Fox 8th Jan 2022

    Having used AW Lymn before for my Mum’s funeral, we chose them again for Dad’s funeral. David Clarke was exceptional throughout this process, absolutely first class. He left nothing to chance, stayed in constant contact even over Christmas and ensured the funeral ran perfectly. David made all the difference and the silver Rolls Royces a nice touch. It has honestly helped us to start moving on. Can’t recommend highly enough. 

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    Thank you Darren and Abigail for this lovely review.
    It was my honour to give your Father the send-off he deserved. I am so please I was able to help you and your lovely family and that you particularly liked the cars. Thank you again, David.
