Thank you for making a difficult time easier. We didn’t use the online notification as most of the guest preferred telephone contact. But I like the idea of on line even though we didn’t utilise it.

I wish to sincerely thank Mr David Combe, Bearers and everyone involved in the funeral of Margaret Turner. Their concern and thoughtfulness was very much appreciated.
The office is located at Standard House, on Chesterfield Road South, and is a two storey building directly across from the Catholic Church of Saint Philip Neri.

David Combe made the whole process of my father’s funeral so easy. I didn’t know where to start with anything from registering the death onwards, he explained everything to me and helped me to make decisions with the arrangements with such care and compassion. Everything from choosing flowers and caskets to the printing of the order of service and the cars was perfect.
A very professional and caring team all round.

5Scott Steele9th Jan 2018
it’s the one service you don’t want to be reviewing. However, when you do need such a service it needs to be done well. I first used A W Lymn Mansfield offices upon recommendation 10 years ago for my mum. They were outstanding then so were my first choice now having lost my Dad. Jonathan actually remembered my Dads character from 10 years & even though he had moved regional offices he made the effort to take charge of my Dads funeral at my request. David at the Mansfield office and Jonathan at the Woodhouse offices were both brilliant in arranging things for my Dad. Professional, sympathetic,friendly and helpful. At times like this it really helps to have such great support and I am really grateful to them. As far as I am concerned they are the only funeral directors I would consider. Obviously I just hope I don’t need to call upon there services again for a long long long time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Both Jonathan, David and I would like to thank you for this wonderful and detailed review of the service they provided. Jonathan remembers your dad well from when he arranged your mum's funeral and is grateful to you for allowing him the opportunity to look after your family again at this sad time. We are glad that you found David to be equally helpful, friendly and professional and are pleased that we were able to meet your request that Jonathan looked after you on the day as we understand how much of a difference this can make. Thank you.

5Marilyn Marriott11th Jul 2017
When David visited me to arrange Stephen's Funeral I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. David is a true professional, he explained all aspects of the Funeral and exactly how the service would go. I cannot praise him enough. We had a wonderful chat even smiles and laughter which, to me, made David's visit really special. On the day, David was so caring and warm and friendly and attentive to me and my family, so wonderful. Thank you so very very much. Also, Nita. Thank you so much for explaining all the aspects of a Funeral and for visiting with your brochure on your way home. So kind and thoughtful. Thank you A W Lynn. I will always sing your praises. Many thanks and fond regards, Marilyn Marriott.
