Can’t praise them enough. Everyone so kind and helpful and reassuring. Jonathan is so professional and caring he makes you feel so safe. Jonathan looked after us like we were his own family. This is the 4th time we have used A.W.Lymn for mine and my husbands parents and we would not even think of using anyone else, the service gets better and better. Thank you Jonathan and the team for making a very hard day’s easier x

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 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.

    Thank you for your kind and detailed review, it really is appreciated when a family takes the time to pass on their thanks in this way. Jonathan and Elaine have also asked that I pass on that it was their privileged to have served you again and it is always very gratifying when they receive such heartfelt thanks from a family that they have helped and built up a relationship with over the years.
  • 5 Philip Anthony Goodall 28th Nov 2017

    We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to the team at AW Lymn at Mansfield Woodhouse, with regard to the funeral organisation for my mother. The process from start to finish was carried out with professionalism,sensitivity and efficiency which is so helpful when the bereaved are working whilst at their most vulnerable.
    In particular we would like to mention the small things that give added value to the process. Availability for advice at all times, phone calls from Lymns to check that all is in order the day before the funeral and,of course, the adherence to the small points of respect shown to the deceased throughout the funeral.
    All members of the team are valuable to the finished product, and our thanks must be extended to all, but we would like to mention the service provided by Elaine throughout the organisation and the sensitive, respectful and efficient service given by Jonathan and his team on the day. Thank you again.
    Philip and Janet Goodall

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive and detailed review, we are glad that you felt so well looked after throughout. Elaine and Jonathan are also pleased that the arrangements went as requested and are grateful to you for your kind words. It is their privilege to serve such a nice family, and although they were doing what they were there to do, it is very heartening for them to hear that the funeral was a fitting tribute to Mrs Goodall. Thank you.

    Excellent service and attention from the beginning. Nothing was too much trouble. Have used Lymn’s for over 20 years for other Family funerals and they get more professional as the years go by. There Limousines are the best  in the County, probably the Country. Perfection at its best. Thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are glad that everything went to plan and that the staff supported you and answered all your questions. Unfortunately we were not able to stop the rain, but if we could have we would have. Thank you.
  • 5 Kathryn Alison Mabbott Bennett 26th Jul 2017

    Extremely professional service and staff. Elaine made arranging the service so easy, guiding me through the options with no pressure and making me feel at ease at a very difficult time. Their attention to detail meant that the funeral ran smoothly. All the staff we met were professional, yet warm and friendly. The compassion and support given by each member of the team was reassuring as was their respect for both the living and deceased. Do not hesitate to order the flowers from City Flowers, part of their group, ours exceeded expectations and I am an ex florist so very fussy. They were truly beautiful and very reasonably priced. I have recommended A W Lymn to several people since my Mum's funeral and will continue to do so.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you very much for your kind words and recommendation, particularly your high appraisal of the tribute provided by City Flowers with this being your area of expertise. We are glad that the team at Woodhouse looked after you so well during this sad time and that Elaine was able to make the arrangements easy for you by guiding you through the process without any pressure. Thank you.
