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 Burman who are assisted by funeral arranger and administrator Emma Hind, 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.

A very professional service. On what was a very difficult day for the family Lymn's had everything timed to the second. We would recommend their services and use them again ourselves.

Extremely professional reliable and efficient service. Jonathan, Elaine and the Mansfield Woodhouse team have made this horrendous process smooth and stress free. Everything on the day was fantastic as these things go. Highly recommended.

5stars+ Thank you all for helping make a very distressing day for us all bearable. From everyone in the office to the gentlemen on the day and especially Jonathan we all felt looked after and cared for. Jonathan spoke to us as if he had known us for years and helped us more than we can say. It was only 18 months ago when we lost our dad and the care and attention and thoughtfulness we were shown went along way in helping us. Thank you from all the Cocking family x
