Kevin Stokes 12th Feb 2024

Excellent service from start to end. All you need to do is meet with the team to discuss your wishes and they will do everything else. Very simple process. A very special mention to David Clarke and Wendy Walker for taking us through the process and assisting with everything we asked for. The service at the crematorium was beautiful and helped ease the pain of the loss of our Dad. Jean Sharpe was the Celebrant that David recommended and she did an excellent job at the initial meeting and at the service. Finally, more special mentions to the team of drivers who ensured that we got to the service despite heavy snow and road closures caused by accidents. They were very calm throughout the journey and got us there safely. Best Regards from Dawn, John, Kevin, Joanne, Richard, Laura, William and Samuel.

From our first meeting at the undertakers to the funeral itself. Everyone has been amazing. It was a very difficult day with the snow and they battled through, they where fantastic.

  • 5 Tina Mason 16th Jan 2024

    From beginning to end the service I have received from Lymn's has been marvelous. I found David to be very helpful, calming at a stressful time and reassuring from the outset, and I could not have asked for better service. I cannot recommend Lymn's funeral directors highly enough. They are second to none

  • 5 Denise Pagington 19th Aug 2023

    We lost both our mother and father during the last six months and David and his team at Lymn’s, Chesterfield Road have been there for our family every step of the way. David approached our loss with dignity and a quiet confidence which helped us move forward, making informed decisions. He has been there in person and at the end of the phone with support when we needed it. We are grateful for that and would like to express our thanks to all concerned. 

    We would also like to express our thanks to Katie Page who acted as celebrant on both occasions. 

    Denise Pagington and Anette Searson

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    Thank you, Denise, and Annette, for your lovely feedback, you both have really been so lovely to work with and I will pass on your thanks to Katie. Take care, David.
  • 5 Melvyn Pearce 12th Aug 2023

    David helped and guided us through this very traumatic time, with professionalism, understanding and kindness. The funeral itself was beautiful. We chose the wicker coffin and ashes basket. I have asked my family for the same when it’s my turn and to use Lymn’s as directors. I cannot fault them in the slightest. 

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    Thank you Mr Pearce for this lovely feedback.
    Please remember if ever you are passing to drop in for a coffee. David

  • 5 Samantha Miller 12th Jun 2023

    Losing a loved one is a really difficult time especially when it's your mother. I was worried about how stressful arranging a funeral was going to be but A. W. Lymn's immediately put me at ease, they are all so friendly but professional and made the whole process easy. They went above and beyond for me, my family and most importantly my dear mother. Our family have used A. W. Lymn's before and will continue to go to them in the future. They gave Tracy the best service and for that I am so happy and I know mum would have love it too.
    Thankyou all so much.
    Samantha Miller

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Team replied
    Thank you, Sam, for your lovely feedback. It was my honour to help your lovely family through this difficult time.
    If you are every passing please pop in for a drink and to say hello, David
