About Us
The office, known as The Old Farm, is located in one of the oldest buildings in Mansfield Woodhouse, a former farmhouse that has recently been completely refurbished. It is set in lovely rural surroundings and has a beautiful service chapel, family rooms, visiting rooms, cold room facilities, washing facilities for specific funeral rites, plenty of parking and a full fleet of hearse and limousines.
Cyril Welsh Funeral Directors, who previously had offices at the premises, was incorporated by the A W Lymn group. The branch has most of the north Nottingham fleet on site, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom VII hearse and matching limousines.
Jonathan Baker is the area manager, and the office is staffed by funeral directors Andy Askew and Stacey Bentley, who will be more than pleased to assist you during office hours, which are Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5pm and on Saturday from 9 am to 12.30 pm.
If you need assistance outside of these hours, please call the telephone number at any time and the office can be opened for you at your convenience.
The branch serves all of Mansfield Woodhouse and its surrounding area including Berry Hill, Blidworth, Church Warsop, Clipstone, Forest Town, Harlow Wood, Ladybrook, Mansfield, Pleasley, Rainworth, Ravenshead, Shirebrook, Warsop, Warsop Vale and beyond.
Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose manage A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service.
Many families describe how the staff—Stacey, Jonathan, Wendy, Andy and others—guided them through each step of arranging and conducting the funeral with both professionalism and genuine compassion. Several mention that nothing felt like too much trouble, whether responding to phone calls, accommodating special requests, or helping with practical matters on the day itself.
Families repeatedly return to how the funeral day itself ran smoothly and felt personal to their loved one, with careful attention to every detail from the hearse and flowers to the order of service and the way bearers and mourners were looked after. Many note that staff remained calm and supportive even when plans needed to change or when families struggled emotionally through the service.
Several families mention the cost was fair and transparent, and many say they felt genuinely cared for rather than just processed through a transaction, with staff keeping in touch before and after in ways that made a difficult time feel less isolating.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff who supported my Dad & I and made mum’s funeral so beautiful.

All the staff at A W Lymn have been excellent throughout the whole emotional process. From planning the funeral, caring for my loved one and on the actual day. So professional, kind and courteous. Available to help every step of the way. I highly recommend them and thank them.

Thank you Donna for entrusting us once again following your late mother’s passing. I know it has only been a short time since our last meeting when your father sadly passed away at the end of 2025. We hope that both ourselves and celebrant Phillip Dackombe gave a fitting send-off for mum. Our service doesn’t necessarily end with the funeral itself and we will of course be on hand when you are ready to complete mum’s journey and re-unite her again with dad. - Stacey & The Mansfield Woodhouse Team

Lymns have provided a top level of service for the funerals of both my Grandparents, my Dad and now my Mum, and to be frank there is nobody else I would want to entrust the care of my nearest and dearest in the final days between their death and the funeral service. Their empathy, understanding and attention to detail has been outstanding on each occasion and I cannot thank Jonathan and the team enough for what they do and have done.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
It is heartening that we were able to serve you and your family again, as we have done so many times in the past, and that our services proved helpful.
I am glad that we as a team were able to assist the family with a fitting tribute for Mrs Sefton. - Jonathan & The Mansfield Woodhouse Team

Thank you for your kind words. We were saddened to hear of mum’s passing, it came as a shock having only in the last year completed her pre-paid funeral plan and purchase of mum and dad’s plot at the cemetery.

My family have used A.W. Lymn’s caring and professional funeral services on more than one occasion in the past.

5Marion Dunn23rd Mar 2026
What a lovely send off for my auntie. This was thanks to AW Lymn Mansfield Woodhouse. They kindly held my hand through the processes and procedures; who would have thought how many little things go into making the day a success. All the staff were professional, courteous, thoughtful and treated my auntie with dignity. They kept me informed by telephone at every step of the way. I was delighted with the quality of service and would have no hesitation recommending them to others.
The celebrant conducting the service truly reflected auntie in all aspects of the service. She wove the stories into a beautiful "Rembering Auntie". Aunties friends all said what a lovely service it was.
Thank you Lymn.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Thank you for entrusting us with the arrangements of your late aunt’s funeral. I know we came to you by recommendation along with celebrant, Katie Page. We were only too happy to support you through this difficult time and ensuring that your aunt’s service was respectful and fitting for such a unique lady. - Stacey & The Mansfield Woodhouse Team
