David is available at the funeral home from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday. Alternatively you can arrange an appointment at your convenience if you are unable to visit the office during opening hours. The telephone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    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. Everything went as we'd hoped and we received lovely feedback from friends and family afterwards. We really feel like we've done everything we can for my dad which is very comforting.

  • 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.
