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 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.

From our very first contact with Stacey, she couldn’t have been anymore caring and compassionate towards us a family at the most terrible time for us. Every little detail was covered and handled with the upmost respect. They put is un in touch with a fantastic celebrant who put together a beautiful service for our final farewell to our loved one. When the day of the funeral arrived, the gentleman arrived in the cars on time and they made sure we were all looked after and took the time to speak with us and explained all what was going to happen. Everyone who attended the funeral said it was a beautiful service and we can’t thank A.W Lymn Mansfield woodhouse enough for this. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.
