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 mention the attentiveness and compassion they received from staff members during arrangements, particularly noting how the funeral directors listened to their wishes, explained options without pressure, and remained available by phone or in person whenever questions arose.
Several describe the funeral day itself as running smoothly and professionally, with families appreciating the care shown both in the conduct of the service and in smaller gestures—the presentation of the hearse, the demeanour of drivers and pallbearers, the quality of the order of service.
A number of reviews raise the value they felt they received, noting that they compared quotes from other firms and found the pricing fair, and that the service provided justified the cost involved.

Absolutely fantastic service from Lynn's. From the start contacting you and arranging the funeral and discussing what we wanted at the service at the crematorium. The cars arrived on time and the gentleman driving the cars was very supportive and drove with care. The service at the crematorium went very smoothly with Malcolm and it was a lovely service what we had planned.

Nothing but the highest of praise.
From the moment we first made contact with Sarah at the Ollerton branch, we knew that we had made the right decision. We wanted a simple but special funeral for dad and Sarah was always able to help make that happen. Colum also deserves a special mention for the way he put together and presented an exceptional eulogy. A first class friendly, family business.
A.W. Lymn, Ollerton Team replied
Dale, Thank you for the lovely comments. I am pleased the funeral service we arranged for Dad was everything you wanted, including the selection of the Civil Celebrant. If you do require anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sarah.
