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.

  • 5 Sandra Lowe 5th Jun 2023

    From our very first contact with Stacey, she couldn’t have been anymore caring and compassionate towards us a family at the most terrible time for us.  Every little detail was covered and handled with the upmost respect. They put is un in touch with a fantastic celebrant who put together a beautiful service for our final farewell to our loved one.  When the day of the funeral arrived, the gentleman arrived in the cars on time and they made sure we were all looked after and took the time to speak with us and explained all what was going to happen.  Everyone who attended the funeral said it was a beautiful service and we can’t thank A.W Lymn Mansfield woodhouse enough for this.  We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. 

    A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
    I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to write this lovely review and am pleased that you were happy with all that I did for you and how the service on the day was conducted. Stacey.
