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. more

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.
