We have used A.W. Lymn for 4 family funerals now and the service and courtesy is 1st class, I have advised my Son and Daughter that I want them to take care of my arrangements when I go from this life.

Jo Ann Ashall 1st Jul 2025

From picking up mum to the end of her journey they have been exemplary. Stacey Burnham has been a complete rock, supportive, empathetic and extremely professional, going out of her way to cater for all our little quirks for mum's funeral. Everything ran like clockwork and all the staff involved were amazing.

    It was my pleasure taking care of you and so lovely taking time to talk about all of Marjorie's quirks (she sounded like quite a character). It was a humour filled service conducted by Katie Page, including a visual tribute, canvas on easel, photo of the coffin and a replica hand flipping the bird to the family and friends attending! It was very much a celebration of her life, including her little companion (dog) being in attendance on the day. Thank you, Stacey.

    The service provided for my dear mother was incredible. The day went smoothly, blending professionalism with warmth. Nothing was too much trouble. They patiently showed our boys how to carry their matriarch into the church.

    Before the funeral, they worked with me every step of the way, addressing my wishes and guiding me for my own sake and peace of mind. It truly was a wonderful service and a beautiful day.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me give my mother the final ride of her life.

  • 5 Julie Jackson Lorenz 2nd Jun 2025

    Sadly this was the second funeral we had to arrange in less than a year, my partner passing unexpectedly in April 2025. There was no question we would be using A W Lymn's at Mansfield Woodhouse for the funeral. Stacey, Jonathan and all the team members I met were kind and supportive throughout. They exude a unique blend of professionalism and empathy at all times. They take care of all the arrangements making a stressful and difficult time easier to bear. The kindness and consideration they gave to me while visiting my beloved partner in the chapel of rest will stay with me forever. The dignity and respect they offer is outstanding. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and support and would highly recommend them without hesitation. My heartfelt thanks. 

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
    Julie, thank you so much for these kind comments which are very heart warming, it was an honour that we were entrusted again to help you at this difficult time. Jonathan & Stacey.
  • 5 Peter A. Allan 31st May 2025

    Everything was well planned and delivered in an excellent manner.

    Colum’s  leading the service was first rate.

    Stacey’s production for the order of service was beautiful.

    Jonathan’s care, attention to detail and total focus was outstanding throughout all aspects of the funeral.

    Your staff are well trained, empathetic and well organised.

  • 5 Margaret A. Farrow-Johnson 20th Feb 2025

    A.W.Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse provided outstanding service during a very difficult time and made everything more bearable.

    From the moment we walked in, we felt reassured and relieved that our son was in safe hands all our wishes and needs for arranging his funeral would be well taken care of. Wendy was professional but also friendly and explained everything very clearly.

    All the staff we spoke to on the phone or those we met in person, Wendy, Stacey, Andy were extremely helpful and supportive. We appreciated the attention to detail and diligence in ensuring that everything was perfect. 

    The service was conducted by their civil celebrant Colum. As tough as the day was the service was perfect. The way he was able to express our son’s personality, character and the massive impact on everyone he met was beautiful. So many people spoke to us afterwards and said it was the best service they had ever been to. 
    Thank You 

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
    It was an honour to support you at such a tragic time. The tribute to Marc in the Chad was wonderful, and the turnout and respectful applause as the cortege paused in Mansfield Market Square was a special moment. It was so sad that we had to arrange a funeral for someone of such a young age, but it truly turned out to be a marvellous day and celebration of Marc’s life, honouring his memory in such positive ways. Thank you for this fabulous review and look after yourselves, Wendy.
  • 5 Stephen Mussett 11th Feb 2025

    I've never had to organise a funeral before. They have been brilliant. From first contact Wendy right up to the day. They helped and explained every step. I'd highly recommend. Thank you

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
    I felt privileged to be able to support your family as you said goodbye to your daughter. No parent should have to go through that, let alone when their lovely daughter was such a tender young age, so I am glad that my help made things that little more bearable. Thank you, Wendy.

    David, we felt honoured to be asked to take care of Reverend Pulman's funeral service for you, having known him for many years both through work and as part of the local community. Thank you, Jonathan, Stacey and Megan.
  • 5 Susan Denby 25th Jan 2025

    Dave's funeral was very personal ,he enjoyed his allotment, breeding birds & worked unloading lorries,this is why we hired the truck, had veg wreaths instead of flower. From the moment Dave was taken from home by AWLymn is knew Dave was in safe hands, we met Stacey to arrange the funeral & she was very knowledgeable but sympathetic. Johnathon was fabulous on the day, he was respectful, professional & friendly. Losing someone close is very hard for everyone involved but AWLymn made it so easy & undaunting. This is the first funeral I have had to organise & I was anxious but there was no need to be ,everything was perfect.

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
    Thank you for taking the time to write this kind review. It was our pleasure to help you create this personalised tribute for Dave including the ERF truck hearse travelling via his old place of work. Thank you, Stacey.
