About Us
The office is located at Standard House, on Chesterfield Road South, and is a two storey building directly across from the Catholic Church of Saint Philip Neri. Standard House was opened on 12th July 2005 by Dr. Nigel Chapman, H. M. Coroner for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, to better serve Mansfield’s families.
The premises include a reception area, visitation rooms, family room, off-street parking, some garaging for our fleet cars and cold room facilities.
Funeral director David Clarke is in charge of the office, and Jonathan Baker is the senior funeral director responsible for the area. Wendy Walker, a qualified funeral director, is based here when not covering holidays or sickness for the Mansfield funeral homes. David is available at the funeral home from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, you can arrange an appointment at your convenience if you are unable to visit the office during opening hours. The telephone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The branch covers all of Mansfield and its surrounding area including Berry Hill, Blidworth, Church Warsop, Clipstone, Forest Town, Harlow Wood, Ladybrook, Mansfield Woodhouse, Pleasley, Rainworth, Ravenshead, Shirebrook, Warsop, Warsop Vale and beyond.
Established in 1907, A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service is owned and managed by the Lymn Rose family. Nowadays, Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose run the company.
What Families Say
AI SummaryMany families describe how the funeral director took control of arrangements at an overwhelming time, managing everything from logistics to liaising with other organisations, which allowed them to focus on grieving rather than organising.
Families repeatedly mention the personal care shown by staff members, noting kindness, compassion and attentiveness to detail, and several say they felt their loved one was treated with particular dignity and respect while in the company's care.
Communication features prominently in what families say, with many noting they were kept informed throughout the process, that staff were responsive to questions and changes, and that the experience felt less stressful because they always knew what was happening and what to expect.

Tracey Allsop 10th Mar 2017
David and Jonathan are lovely and helpful. Or though we are still in touch with them because Mum's death was so sudden and unexpected. Thanks so much for all you have done and are doing. The service for my Mum was lovely. Thanks again for looking after us and helping us through this very sad and hard time. Just a pity the coroner isn't as understanding and caring as Lymns are. Thanks so much. It means alot. Thanks for looking after our special Mum. Tracey Allsop.
