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.

Lymns have been simply outstanding in the service they have offered us for the entire organization of my mothers funeral. There has always been someone on the end of a phone at all times and their attention to detail has been incredible.
In particular I would like to thank Colum O’Shea for all his help and advice and I could not have wished for a more dignified ending of my mother’s life.
Thank you so much and I would whole heartedly recommend you to any future customer.

Collum was so sensitive and really helpful taking us through the processes at a time when we were so lost. There was no pressure despite our request for an 'as soon as possible' date for Mum's funeral. This request was met admirably.
On the day, the funeral was conducted with the utmost professionalism. Annette conducted the service beautifully. She had listened and perfectly interpreted the feelings for our Mum.
We felt thoroughly supported by all. Thank you.

I am glad that we were able to get everything to come together so the the funeral could take place as quickly as possible for you and I am grateful to you for taking the time to leave this kind review. Thank you, Colum.

Every aspect of Colum's organisation of my father's funeral was spot on and everything went perfectly; his organisation was outstanding and he is a credit to a A W Lymn. Colum and his team were absolute professionals. They were efficient but sympathetic and between them ensured that nothing went wrong. Please pass on the grateful thanks of myself and my family to all, especially Colum, for what they did.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
It is wonderful to read the kind words you have written about the professional and sympathetic service provided by the team at Ollerton and Colum in particular and we are glad that everything was perfect at the time of your father's funeral.

When a loved one dies and you need someone at your most darkest hour, there is no better funeral directors than A W Lynn New Ollerton.

Highly recommended, not only as Funeral Directors, but for support, care and understanding beyond belief given.

From start to finish throughout this sad time the staff at the Ollerton Branch and the Company as a whole have been understanding, sympathetic and professional. The proceedings on the day from the Clumber Court Care Home in Retford to The Crematorium at Babworth and throughout the service itself, were conducted in an excellent manner, Mum would have been impressed! Thank You.
