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.

5Margaret A. Farrow-Johnson20th 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.
5Stephen Mussett11th 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.

5Susan Denby25th 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.
