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.
Many 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.

5Kevin Stokes12th Feb 2024
Excellent service from start to end. All you need to do is meet with the team to discuss your wishes and they will do everything else. Very simple process. A very special mention to David Clarke and Wendy Walker for taking us through the process and assisting with everything we asked for. The service at the crematorium was beautiful and helped ease the pain of the loss of our Dad.
Jean Sharpe was the Celebrant that David recommended and she did an excellent job at the initial meeting and at the service.
Finally, more special mentions to the team of drivers who ensured that we got to the service despite heavy snow and road closures caused by accidents. They were very calm throughout the journey and got us there safely.
Best Regards from Dawn, John, Kevin, Joanne, Richard, Laura, William and Samuel.

From beginning to end the service I have received from Lymn's has been marvelous.

We lost both our mother and father during the last six months and David and his team at Lymn’s, Chesterfield Road have been there for our family every step of the way. David approached our loss with dignity and a quiet confidence which helped us move forward, making informed decisions. He has been there in person and at the end of the phone with support when we needed it. We are grateful for that and would like to express our thanks to all concerned.
We would also like to express our thanks to Katie Page who acted as celebrant on both occasions.
Denise Pagington and Anette Searson
