Steven Coy 16th Aug 2016

I would describe the service we received from Lymns as outstanding. From our very first contact with Scott at the Ilkeston office to the actual day of Violets funeral every aspect was catered for. We were also looked after by Tracey in a very professional and caring manner. If I had to sum up the whole experience in one expression  it would  be that "nothing was too much trouble. "  I would recommend Lymns services to family or friends in the future.

About Us

This funeral home was part of the Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Service, which opened in May 1994, and was then incorporated into the A.W. Lymn group in October 2003.

The funeral home is run by funeral arranger Michelle Ibbett and overseen by funeral director Mick Schofield. The office is open from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm.

If you need assistance after hours, you can always call the telephone number at any time, seven days a week, and arrange an appointment at your convenience.

The premises offers one client parking space, a reception area, family rooms, visiting rooms and cold room facilities.

The branch gives a discount to Co-op members and also offers Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Vouchers and Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Plans.

The Ilkeston office covers all of Ilkeston and its surrounding area including Awsworth, Cossall, Eastwood, Heanor, Kimberley, Kirk Hallam, Langley Mill, Loscoe, Shipley, Smalley, Stanley, Trowell, West Hallam and beyond.

Nigel, Matthew and Jackie Lymn Rose are the directors of the A W Lymn group.
