From the very start we had professional but friendly service, even though they must see hundreds of clients we were made to feel special Scott was fab and was happy to answer all our "daft" but necessary questions.Our family affair was very small but still catered for perfectly.

I have used A W Lymn many times over the past decade. They are always thorough, well organised and efficient. The day itself runs smoothly and with sensitivity.
The service earlier this week was extremely beautiful and conducted with class. Thank you.
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.

5Lyn Newton22nd Jan 2018
Impressed by everything, but was a little disappointed with the flowers for the top of the coffin. For £100.00 it didn't look anything like the double ended coffin sprays in the brochure, nor did it seem 3 feet in length.
However we were thoroughly impressed with the cars and service provided by the drivers and bearers, and Scott for his compassion when sorting out the arrangements.
The vicar was excellent, clearly spoken and everyone said at the end that they thought the service was a truly beautiful one and that we had done Joan proud.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your high appraisal of the service provided by Scott and the rest of his team at this sad time. We are glad that you were impressed by everything and Scott will also pass on your review to Reverend Halliday so he can see the kind words you have written about him. We are however sorry that you were disappointed with the floral tribute that was provided. As the flowers were included as part of one of our packages there was no specific value attributed to them but they were detailed as being 3 ft. in size and so this will require investigating for you. I will therefore ensure that the photographs of the tribute are found and looked at, and someone will be in contact with you directly once this has been done. Thank you.
