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 emphasize how the team guided them through arrangements with clear communication and regular updates, making what could be an overwhelming process feel manageable and less stressful.

Hello all, although the days was the worst day of our families life Lymns made it more easy to deal with by taking care of all the arrangements and of our family.
Both Elaine and Jonathan make us feel like they are almost part of our family and were there for us from the day we walking into their office to the day of the funeral and more than just providing a service.
Very professional every minute and more than helpful when ever one of the family contacted them.
Thank you for being there.
