    David and Jonathan are lovely and helpful. Or though we are still in touch with them because Mum's death was so sudden and unexpected.
    Thanks so much for all you have done and are doing.
    The service for my Mum was lovely.
    Thanks again for looking after us and helping us through this very sad and hard time. Just a pity the coroner isn't as understanding and caring as Lymns are.
    Thanks so much.
    It means alot.
    Thanks for looking after our special Mum.

    Having been so brilliant and sympathetic for my dad's funeral, there was never going to be any doubt who would be undertaking the duties when my mother passed. That day occurred a few weeks ago, and Lymns manner and professionalism shone once more

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Debra. Thank you for your kind words, David, and in his absence Nita, Andy and Jonathan do sterling work for the bereaved families of Mansfield, and it is very humbling to read your review. Kindest, Matthew Lymn Rose.
  • 5 Edd Harris 23rd Aug 2016

    Absolutely excellent service, David Combe is an amazing gentleman.
    Things were made so easy for us to understand at such a difficult time.
    I would also like to add that in my opinion it was really good value for money. I feel a bit bad that they did so many miles in their cars.
    Don't compromise choose A.W. Lymn.

  • 5 Vicky Stevens 22nd Aug 2016

    David and Adam were absolutely amazing and we can't thank them enough for the help and support they gave to helping my dad have a perfect send off.
