David Clarke was our funeral director and my brother and I could not have asked for more when arranging our Mum's funeral. David was so helpful in guiding us through the process and very responsive when we had questions. Thank you David, your care and professionalism meant so much to us; it made a heart-breaking time a little more bearable.

Max Lee 19th Mar 2022

I was helped by David Clarke who could not have made it easier to use the services. Given the wide distribution of friends and family the webcast was invaluable and kept the service at the crematorium simple.

Denise Pykett 11th Mar 2022

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.

    Thank you so much for your kind words Mrs Farr, it was an honour to arrange your Mother’s funeral service for you and your family. Tina.
  • 5 Andrew David Hyslop 9th Mar 2021

    I chose A W Lymn to conduct my late father’s funeral on Monday, 8th March, 2021. 

    Our funeral organiser was Tina Clay who was fantastic and so professional to deal with from our very first conversation. In fact Tina went above and beyond in the planning and delivering of exactly what we wanted. She made the whole process so easy. 

    Andy the Funeral Director was outstanding. What a great guy and so professional. 

    We thought the two times that Andy walked in front of the hearse were an extra special touch, as was the pausing outside of my Mum and Dad’s former bungalow. 

    Andy and our driver, Martin were very compassionate in the way in which they looked after my Mum. Both quickly put us all at ease. and Martin’s driving was excellent. 

    The Chapel was offered to us for the Service and was greatly appreciated due to the cold and inclement weather. 

    We thought the service was excellent and thank Tina for her choice of Minister, Chris Carnall, who delivered such a fantastic tribute. I also thank Tina for the provision of the iPod and music. Also for creating the lovely Orders of Service.

    To finalise, Tina, Andy and the whole team were first class and I wish to thank each and every one of you for organising, managing and conducting my Dad’s funeral so professionally. 

    I would most definitely recommend A W Lymn without reservation. 




    Andy Hyslop

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Mr Hyslop, we are extremely grateful to you for taking the time to leave this glowing review of the service provided by Tina, Andy and the rest of the team at Mansfield. It is gratifying to read that between them they were able to make this sad occasion a positive one for you, allowing you the opportunity to remember your father fondly. We would also thank you for your recommendation as this means a lot to us. Thank you once again.
