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.

Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose manage A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service.
Many families describe the personal care and compassion they received from staff members throughout the funeral process, often mentioning specific individuals by name and noting how they were guided through arrangements with patience and understanding. Families repeatedly emphasise the professionalism and attention to detail evident on the day itself, with the vehicles, chapel facilities, and coordination of proceedings all running smoothly and reflecting their wishes for their loved one's send-off. Communication features prominently in what families value, with many noting they were kept informed at each stage, had questions answered readily, and felt supported by staff who remained accessible and responsive to their needs.

5Jo Ann Ashall1st Jul 2025
From picking up mum to the end of her journey they have been exemplary.
Stacey Burnham has been a complete rock, supportive, empathetic and extremely professional, going out of her way to cater for all our little quirks for mum's funeral.
Everything ran like clockwork and all the staff involved were amazing.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
It was my pleasure taking care of you and so lovely taking time to talk about all of Marjorie's quirks (she sounded like quite a character). It was a humour filled service conducted by Katie Page, including a visual tribute, canvas on easel, photo of the coffin and a replica hand flipping the bird to the family and friends attending! It was very much a celebration of her life, including her little companion (dog) being in attendance on the day. Thank you, Stacey.

The service provided for my dear mother was incredible. The day went smoothly, blending professionalism with warmth. Nothing was too much trouble. They patiently showed our boys how to carry their matriarch into the church.
Before the funeral, they worked with me every step of the way, addressing my wishes and guiding me for my own sake and peace of mind. It truly was a wonderful service and a beautiful day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me give my mother the final ride of her life.

5Julie Jackson Lorenz2nd Jun 2025
Sadly this was the second funeral we had to arrange in less than a year, my partner passing unexpectedly in April 2025. There was no question we would be using A W Lymn's at Mansfield Woodhouse for the funeral. Stacey, Jonathan and all the team members I met were kind and supportive throughout. They exude a unique blend of professionalism and empathy at all times. They take care of all the arrangements making a stressful and difficult time easier to bear. The kindness and consideration they gave to me while visiting my beloved partner in the chapel of rest will stay with me forever. The dignity and respect they offer is outstanding. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and support and would highly recommend them without hesitation. My heartfelt thanks.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Julie, thank you so much for these kind comments which are very heart warming, it was an honour that we were entrusted again to help you at this difficult time. Jonathan & Stacey.
5Peter A. Allan31st May 2025
Everything was well planned and delivered in an excellent manner.
Colum’s leading the service was first rate.

Your staff are well trained, empathetic and well organised.
Thank you.
