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.

At such a sad time, I felt both my Mum who had passed away, and myself were treated with the utmost respect. Darren explained everything carefully, and tactfully, and we were even able to have some lighthearted moments reminiscing about my Mum. I felt as though he wanted to know about her and her life so he could provide the best service for her. Mum's burial was some distance away, but this caused no issues at all, and everything on the day was run exceptionally well by Andy and his staff. All-in-all, a perfect funeral for a perfect lady. Thank you so much for what you have done, and for offering continued support, this means a lot to me.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

From my first meeting with Darren at the Ollerton branch, our family has been treated with kindness and the attention shown to detail has been second to none. My Dad was treated with the upmost respect and the funeral cars supplied would have impressed him very very much. Thank you.

5Karen Bromly2nd Apr 2016
David provided an excellent service from my first meeting with him to the last. He was always courteous, empathetic, helpful and extremely efficient. My husband , who was a true gentleman , would have been very pleased that he had been looked after by a true gent , following his passing.
The death of a loved one is never easy to deal with but David's support and totally professional manner somehow eased the process.
My heartfelt thanks to him and his team. I will definitely recommend his services to others.
