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.

At this very sad and stressful time l could not have asked for a more perfect guide through this journey. From start to finish Colum was friendly and helpful accomodating all of our ideas fully. He also introduced us to Janeen who we feel made our service so unique and special for us all and high-lighted what a very special and SO LOVED man Bill was He was enclosed within his family,which would be his ideal place So the whole professional experience with the beautiful cars etc made the day one we will remember sadly but at the same time giving the beautiful show of respect he so rightly deserved. So thankyou Lymns and the Celebrant Janeen, who became like part of our family for getting us through this very sad day !!

5Robert Finney19th Feb 2019
The service overall was very professional and caring. Colum O’Shea at Ollerton provided an excellent service and attention to detail was very good, assisting us every step of the way. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that we had included a pair of earrings to be with mum with her outfit. Unfortunately these were missed and were not with her when we came to see her. Colum however sorted the situation promptly and professionally explaining what had happened and assured us that they would be with mum the following morning.
The standard of service Lymns had provided was excellent and we thank you for making this difficult time an easier process.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive and detailed review of the service provided by Colum and his team. We are sorry to hear that Mum was not wearing her earrings when you came to see her but are glad that Colum dealt with this professionally and promptly for you and are pleased that everything else was done to a high standard. Thank you.

Wonderful, professional, caring service.
Arranging a funeral for the first time can be quite a daunting experience. However, the help and advice I received was just fantastic. I can’t thank you enough.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this kind review. We appreciate how daunting an experience arranging a funeral can be, particularly when it is the first time someone has had to do this, and so we are glad that Colum's professional and caring service and great advice helped support you throughout. Thank you.
5Helen Braben17th Dec 2018
Colum is a very kind, gentle and considerate gentleman who was always able to make time to discuss our needs and wishes. He went out of his way to help with extra arrangements we required for my husband’s funeral and wake. The service provided on the day by Lymns was excellent with Colum making sure that everything was as we wanted it and allowing us the time to do things at our own pace. I could not imagine anyone being able to do such a good job as Colum and his team both in advance of and then at the funeral itself. Thank you for making such a difficult time a little easier to bear.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
It is really wonderful to read the kind words you have written about Colum and the service and support he gave to you and your family during this sad time. Colum has said that he is pleased everything was as you wanted and has asked me to convey his personal thanks to you for your kind words.

5Jo Garrigan6th Jul 2018
The service was exemplary from the collection of John's body to the burial in his final resting place. The funeral itself led by Stacey Bentley ran like clockwork - organised, efficient and unobtrusive. Similarly, her professionalism, empathy and advice in the previous week was much appreciated. At a time of great stress and sadness it was reassuring to feel that she was well in control. Thank you.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

5Margot Rhodes-Ellis8th Apr 2018
All members of staff have been so professional and supportive. As I have had to deal with arrangements for my Mum by myself, Darren has been especially patient and helpful as there have been times when I have been very much overcome by emotion with regards to making arrangements. He has gone the extra mile.
People have said Mum's funeral was beautiful and that she would have been proud of me, but I would not have been able to do it without the help of AW Lymn. Thank you.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this lovely review. We are pleased that Darren's patience and support helped guide you during this difficult time and enabled you to create a personalised and beautiful service for your Mum. Thank you.
