About Us
One of the newest offices in the A W Lymn group, Ollerton opened in April 2011 and is run by funeral arranger Sam Turnbull and overseen by area manager Jonathan Baker.
The building features a car park at the rear, a reception, a large visiting room, a family room and cold room facilities.
The funeral home is open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, and at any other time by appointment. Please telephone A.W. Lymn's main number which is personally answered 24 hours a day to make arrangements.
The branch covers all of Ollerton and its surrounding areas including Budby, Church Warsop, Edwinstone, Perlethorpe, Walesby, Warsop, Wellow and beyond.
A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service is managed by Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose.
Many families emphasise the personal care and support they received from individual staff members throughout the funeral process, describing them as compassionate, patient and understanding during an emotionally difficult time. Several note that staff went beyond standard procedures to accommodate particular wishes and requests, making themselves available by phone or in person whenever families had questions or concerns.
Families consistently mention clear communication and detailed organisation of the funeral day itself, with attention paid to small details that mattered to them and to their deceased relatives. A number of reviews describe the staff who conducted the service on the day as professional and respectful, helping families feel at ease during the proceedings.
Some families specifically comment on finding the costs fair or representing good value for money, and several describe feeling supported in making their own decisions about what they wanted rather than being pressured towards particular options.

5Andrew Barber21st Jul 2026
Where do I begin?
We lost my mother a month ago, and she had expressed her wish to have her funeral run by Lymns at Ollerton.
I met with Emma, the Funeral Director, and found her to be the most wonderful, caring, and empathetic lady who treated us with the utmost respect and kindness through such a difficult time.
Nothing was too much for her, even down to arranging a visit to the Chapel of Rest at short notice
In addition, on the day of the funeral my mother was brought to the service by Kirk, who was absolutely wonderful and treated us with such care and consideration
We could not have hoped for better and our heartfelt thanks go not only to Lymns but to Emma, Kirk and the other funeral attendants.
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Andrew, honestly, what can I say, I am so grateful for such a wonderful review and such kind words at such a difficult time for you and your family. It was a privilege to help guide you through the arrangements for Mum and ensure she had the best final journey possible. Thank you, Emma & Kirk & The Ollerton Team

5Carol Knowles 18th Apr 2026
I would recommend A W Lynn New Ollerton 100%. Samantha was amazing . She went through the whole process with empathy and compassion at our most vulnerable moments. She was on the end of the phone when we needed support. Nothing was too much trouble . Her recommendation for our celebrant was 100% on the money . She got us and our young man . It’s weird to say but it was the best experience of going through the most stressful time of our lives. We would whole heartedly recommend Lynn’s to anyone who has to go through the tough time of planning a funeral .
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Thank you so much for your lovely words, Carol, I’m so pleased we were able to look after you and your family as such a difficult time. I knew from talking to you that Katie the celebrant would have been perfect for Hugo, he would have approved ?.
I am always here if you need me.- Samantha & The Ollerton Team

5Amanda Armstrong30th Jul 2025
Samantha was amazing, she took me through everything and explained the smallest of details and some recommendations to help me give my brother the best farewell to everyone and she did.
I can't thank her enough what she did. Always on the phone and also available when ever we had a query . She even trimmed his nails as mum said he liked them shooter.
Obviously I don't want to use you very often BUT when I do need you I will have no concerns about coming back.
Would definitely use Samantha again, she was wonderful.
Thank you Samantha 😊
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words Amanda. it means a great deal to hear that we was able to support you in giving Neil the farewell he deserved. Small, personal touches — like trimming his nails as your mum wished — truly matter, and I’m so glad we could help honour those details with care. We understand no one ever wants to need our services, but it means a lot to know you would feel confident turning to us again should the time come. - Samantha
