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.

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.

We have used the services of A W Lymn’s for both our parents and cannot fault the service provided by them. All the staff I dealt with along the way have been wonderful especially David from the Mansfield branch. It has been a great comfort at such a heart breaking time to know that they had been looked after so well and great care was taken so they had fitting send off. To anyone having to look for funeral services we would personally recommend them with the knowledge that your loved one is in safe hands.

Thank you for your lovely feedback, I am so pleased we gave Dad the send off he deserved and that you and the family were pleased with everything we did for you. David.

From first contact on 10th January to the cremation date of 14th February David guided us through every stage of the process. He did this with a professional and compassionate approach which we greatly needed at that time.
We are thankful that David was there for us at the end of the telephone, as this gave us confidence to move forward dealing with each task. His advice has been invaluable.
Finally we would like to thank the whole team at A W Lymn Mansfield for helping to make mum’s funeral run smoothly.

From the very beginning and during all my contact with David Clarke at A. W. Lymn he and their staff have been brilliant. I was treated with the utmost sympathy and given valuable advice. I was never rushed and had everything explained to me. They kept in constant contact updating me at all times. I was assisted with enquires with the coroner from early times and on the day I was delighted with a lovely service. They have truly helped my family in difficult times. Thank you David, thank you A. W. Lymn.
