The funeral home is run by Funeral Arranger Becky Hogg who will be able to assist you Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays, from 9 am to 12.30 pm. If you need assistance outside of office hours then please call the telephone number at any time.
The funeral home covers Rainworth and all its surrounding areas, including Blidworth, Bilsthorpe, Clipstone, Farnsfield, Papplewick, Ravenshead, Oxton and further afield.
Established in 1907, A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service is owned and managed by the Lymn Rose family. Nowadays, Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose run the company.
Many families emphasise the care and attentiveness shown throughout the funeral planning process and on the day itself, noting how staff take time to listen to their wishes and explain each step without rushing decisions.
Families repeatedly mention that the actual funeral service runs smoothly and with dignity, with professional and respectful conduct from drivers, bearers, and those leading the ceremony, and that staff remain calm and supportive even when last-minute changes are needed.
Several describe how communication is maintained consistently from the initial phone call through to after the funeral, with staff keeping them informed at each stage and remaining available to answer questions and address concerns.
