I would recommend A W Lynn New Ollerton 100%. Samantha was amazing . She went through the whole process with empathy and compassion at our most vulnerable moments. She was on the end of the phone when we needed support. Nothing was too much trouble . Her recommendation for our celebrant was 100% on the money . She got us and our young man . It’s weird to say but it was the best experience of going through the most stressful time of our lives. We would whole heartedly recommend Lynn’s to anyone who has to go through the tough time of planning a funeral .

5Amanda Armstrong30th Jul 2025
Samantha was amazing, she took me through everything and explained the smallest of details and some recommendations to help me give my brother the best farewell to everyone and she did.
I can't thank her enough what she did. Always on the phone and also available when ever we had a query . She even trimmed his nails as mum said he liked them shooter.
Obviously I don't want to use you very often BUT when I do need you I will have no concerns about coming back.
Would definitely use Samantha again, she was wonderful.
Thank you Samantha 😊
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words Amanda. it means a great deal to hear that we was able to support you in giving Neil the farewell he deserved. Small, personal touches — like trimming his nails as your mum wished — truly matter, and I’m so glad we could help honour those details with care. We understand no one ever wants to need our services, but it means a lot to know you would feel confident turning to us again should the time come. - Samantha

5Sue Marriott7th Apr 2025
Sam at Lymn's Ollerton branch was so very helpful. She helped us every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble. Sam provided constant help and support, and was there whenever we needed her. Organising a funeral for a loved one is a horrible time, but Sam helped us through it and the funeral director on the day (sorry I've forgotten the gentleman's name) was reassuring, patient and supportive throughout the day. Thank you Sam and the team, for everything you all did to help us through this terrible time xx

The whole process directed by Sam Turnbull at the Lymn's branch in Ollerton was outstanding. The attention to detail was perfect at every stage of Mums funeral, resulting in a send-off for my late Mum which will forever be remembered, for so many positive reasons.
