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 and funeral arranger Wendy Walker & Max Whitehouse, 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.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to discuss the contact issues with me personally. As you are now aware a part of our telephone system had broken, and your calls were therefore going to our other offices around Nottinghamshire. I can only apologise for this, as I appreciate that on the afternoon before your husband's funeral that left you feeling un-nerved. I am only pleased that the funeral itself went well, and that the staff locally looked after things professionally for you. Thank you.

    Lymns gave our Dad a wonderful send off yesterday, providing their beautiful little chapel for us to hold a small intimate service before his meadow burial. Thank you so much to the staff who were professional and compassionate at all times and carried out everything according to our wishes. The flowers from your stand-in supplier were breath-taking.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are glad that even with the restrictions currently in place the team at Woodhouse were able to help you create a beautiful and fitting service in memory of your Dad. I have also passed your kind words onto Lynn at the florists. Thank you.
  • 5 Sarah-jayne Beard 3rd Jun 2020

    We would like to Thankyou all so much for your professionalism,  kindness and respect on Friday for the Farewell of Margaret Metheringham.  
    The compassion of your staff is second to none.  
    Little details like ‘Remember Me’ feather pouch and also the little purse with returned earrings are the perfect touch.  I will always remember the stubborn Dove who wanted to stay a little longer and the way the gentleman coaxed her out of the tree.  
    Will recommend always.  
    Thanks again. 
    Sarah-Jayne Beard.  

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    I am really glad that the little touches meant so much to you and your family at this difficult time and am pleased that the dove staying a bit longer helped raise a smile and leave a happy memory. Thank you, Jonathan.

  • 5 Claire Spencer 23rd Jan 2020

    We as a family cannot fault the way we were treated with both my mother's funeral back in 2002, and then more recently with my father's funeral. Right from the beginning they acted very professionally but at the same time sympathetic...nothing was too much trouble...we were never rushed, we were given plenty of time deciding on what we wanted and we felt that our loss was theirs. Although there was sadness on the actual funeral day, there was also tears of joy just because of the way we were treated.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We are glad that you received the same high level of service from us at the time of arranging your father's funeral as you did when you arranged your mother's, and that the team were both professional and sympathetic. Thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Jonathan has asked that I pass on his personal thanks to you for this lovely review. He is glad that his support and care made such a difference to you during this sad time and that he was able to help you create a service that was a fitting tribute to Mum.
