Both Wendy and David worked for the original family and continue to manage the business on a day to day basis, giving the same level of care and attention as they always did, with the improved support of the larger A.W. Lymn family.
Our Rainworth office covers Rainworth and the surrounding area including Blidworth, Bilsthorpe, Ravenshead, Farnsfield and beyond.
"A special thank you to Becky who was exceptional in helping us at every step and treated us and my father with the respect we deserved. A W Lymn's couldn't do enough."
— Brian Davies (about Becky)
"David our funeral director sat down with me and my sister and explained anything we wondered. He helped us plan every detail for the day and wasn't pushing for bigger and better sales."
— Tana (about David)
"The care and compassion shown by all your staff was just perfect. The care for my dad towards the funeral was so kind, you kept us updated at all times. I want to thank you on behalf of Leslie Hallam's family for the outstanding support shown to us all."
— Wendy Devonport
"From the moment I made the phone call to the funeral director after my dearest Mum had sadly passed away, to the time I collected my Mum's ashes, all the team especially Becky Hogg, have been so professional, caring and thoughtful. A very family focused firm."
— Alison Wellings (about Becky Hogg)
"From the moment I walked through the door at Rainworth A W Lymn I was put at ease. Becky came through with a smile on her face, spoke with empathy and settled my nerves. As this was my first 'death' I had no clue how or what the protocol was. Becky guided me through everything. Every step. Nothing was missed."
— Anne Day (about Becky Hogg)
"They helped us to turn a sad event into a wonderful celebration of his life. The level of empathy, care and consideration is truly remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more than that. Thank you, especially to Becky Hogg and Andy (on the day), who are truly exceptional people."

The whole team at A W Lymn Rainworth were absolutely amazing in every aspect of my Dad's funeral. They helped us to turn a sad event into a wonderful celebration of his life. The level of empathy, care and consideration is truly remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more than that. Thank you, especially to Becky Hogg and Andy (on the day), who are truly exceptional people.

From the moment I walked through the door at Rainworth A W Lymn I was put at ease. Becky came through with a smile on her face, spoke with empathy and settled my nerves. As this was my first 'death' I had no clue how or what the protocol was. Becky guided me through everything. Every step. Nothing was missed. The day came and Mum was given the perfect send off. The hearse was gleaming. The flowers were beautiful. Jonathon and the pall bearers were very respectful. Our funeral was a small simple service but by no means were we treated any less. I would not hesitate in recommending. 5 stars is truly well deserved.

From the moment I made the phone call to the funeral director after my dearest Mum had sadly passed away, to the time I collected my Mum's ashes, all the team, at A.W Lymn (Rainworth) especially Becky Hogg, have been so professional, caring and thoughtful. My family and I are so very grateful to their support at a very sad, difficult and emotional time. A very family focused firm and would highly recommend.
