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.

A.W.Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse provided outstanding service during a very difficult time and made everything more bearable.
From the moment we walked in, we felt reassured and relieved that our son was in safe hands all our wishes and needs for arranging his funeral would be well taken care of. Wendy was professional but also friendly and explained everything very clearly.
All the staff we spoke to on the phone or those we met in person, Wendy, Stacey, Andy were extremely helpful and supportive. We appreciated the attention to detail and diligence in ensuring that everything was perfect.
The service was conducted by their civil celebrant Colum. As tough as the day was the service was perfect. The way he was able to express our son’s personality, character and the massive impact on everyone he met was beautiful. So many people spoke to us afterwards and said it was the best service they had ever been to.
Thank You
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
It was an honour to support you at such a tragic time. The tribute to Marc in the Chad was wonderful, and the turnout and respectful applause as the cortege paused in Mansfield Market Square was a special moment. It was so sad that we had to arrange a funeral for someone of such a young age, but it truly turned out to be a marvellous day and celebration of Marc’s life, honouring his memory in such positive ways. Thank you for this fabulous review and look after yourselves, Wendy.

I've never had to organise a funeral before. They have been brilliant. From first contact Wendy right up to the day. They helped and explained every step. I'd highly recommend. Thank you
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
I felt privileged to be able to support your family as you said goodbye to your daughter. No parent should have to go through that, let alone when their lovely daughter was such a tender young age, so I am glad that my help made things that little more bearable. Thank you, Wendy.

5Susan Denby25th Jan 2025
Dave's funeral was very personal ,he enjoyed his allotment, breeding birds & worked unloading lorries,this is why we hired the truck, had veg wreaths instead of flower. From the moment Dave was taken from home by AWLymn is knew Dave was in safe hands, we met Stacey to arrange the funeral & she was very knowledgeable but sympathetic. Johnathon was fabulous on the day, he was respectful, professional & friendly. Losing someone close is very hard for everyone involved but AWLymn made it so easy & undaunting. This is the first funeral I have had to organise & I was anxious but there was no need to be ,everything was perfect.
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
Thank you for taking the time to write this kind review. It was our pleasure to help you create this personalised tribute for Dave including the ERF truck hearse travelling via his old place of work. Thank you, Stacey.

Wendy was extremely helpful in the arranging of my mums funeral from the start. Stacey was also very helpful when my niece and I came to visit mum in the chapel.
When it came to the day of the funeral Jonathan was also extremely helpful in guiding my family to the crematorium.
I would also like to say Philip Dackombe the celebrant was also excellent in his help at arranging mums funeral service, I am so very grateful to him.
All in all I was extremely thankful to everybody involved in my mum Sheila Bradleys funeral
