About Us
In 2003, the Cotmanhay branch joined A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service. Before then, it was the headquarters of the Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Service, which opened in 1979.
Bennerley House, the beautiful building where the funeral home is located, originally belonged to a local carpenters and includes a reception area, family rooms, visitation rooms, cold room facilities and garaging for part of our fleet of Rolls-Royce hearses and limousines.
Mick Schofield is the funeral director responsible for this office and is assisted by funeral director Nikki Anderson.
The opening times are from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday, but you can call at any time on the telephone number to arrange an appointment – you will then be able to arrange a meeting at your convenience.
The branch covers all of Cotmanhay and its surrounding area, including Awsworth, Cossall, Eastwood, Heanor, Langley Mill, Loscoe, Shipley, Smalley, Stanley, West Hallam and further afield.
A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service was founded in 1907 and is now managed by Nigel, Matthew and Jackie Lymn Rose.

We entrusted our son Desmond into the care of your company. From the minute he left our house with Wayne and Rebecca who handled the whole situation with sensitivity and respect. We immediately felt that he would be in safe hands. I will be forever grateful to Michelle Ibbett for her kindness, empathy and understanding, we had no idea about the.process of funerals and she explained everything in detail to us, sometimes several times as we weren't taking things in and couldn't believe our beloved son had died.We were supported by her to visit him as many times as we wanted, made to feel comfortable, offered tea and a genuine listening ear. Her professionalism and organizational skills were evident on the day of his funeral. Making it a beautiful stress fee final journey. Mick was a credit to his profession, ensuring everything ran smoothly a really lovely gentleman. Thank you all Clare and Des Ball
