About Us
The office is located at Standard House, on Chesterfield Road South, and is a two storey building directly across from the Catholic Church of Saint Philip Neri. Standard House was opened on 12th July 2005 by Dr. Nigel Chapman, H. M. Coroner for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, to better serve Mansfield’s families.
The premises include a reception area, visitation rooms, family room, off-street parking, some garaging for our fleet cars and cold room facilities.
Funeral director David Clarke is in charge of the office, and Jonathan Baker is the senior funeral director responsible for the area. Wendy Walker, a qualified funeral director, is based here when not covering holidays or sickness for the Mansfield funeral homes. David is available at the funeral home from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, you can arrange an appointment at your convenience if you are unable to visit the office during opening hours. The telephone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The branch covers all of Mansfield and its surrounding area including Berry Hill, Blidworth, Church Warsop, Clipstone, Forest Town, Harlow Wood, Ladybrook, Mansfield Woodhouse, Pleasley, Rainworth, Ravenshead, Shirebrook, Warsop, Warsop Vale and beyond.
Established in 1907, A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service is owned and managed by the Lymn Rose family. Nowadays, Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose run the company.

Excellent professional friendly courteous service. David and his team are lovely nothing too much trouble. David guided us through everything when my mum and me were booking dads funeral, not pushing anything onto us that we didnt want. You can it make as budget friendly or as expensive as you personally see fit. My dad had a great send off with LYMNS help. Its a big thank you from mum me and all our friends and family

Following my beloved wife's passing, I contacted AW Lymn to arrange the service and celebration of life. From the first call to David Clarke, he took control and managed every aspect of the proceedings from the cars, order of service, crematorium, live stream, music, remembrance and celebrant, to save me the ordeal of having to manage personally at a stressful time. AW Lymn have been outstanding and the whole process was both professional and respectful in every way. I would fully recommend to anyone having the misfortune of losing a loved one, that in the capable hands of AW Lymn the whole process will be perfect.

From the moment we contacted A.W.Lymm the service was excellent. They listened to what we wanted, offered advice when requested and were professional at all times. It was really helpful that they liaised with the graveyard and church to arrange the service and a choir to sing at Dad’s funeral. The fact that they had an onsite florist & could arrange the funeral booklet made things so much easier. I loved the extra touches such as the memorial seeds that we handed out to those attending the funeral-something my garden loving Dad would have appreciated. A special shout out to Colum and David. You both made this difficult time go much more smoothly. I cannot thank you for the care you took of my Dad and the respectful way you helped us plan the funeral.
