About Us
A.W. Lymn’s Bingham funeral home has a proud and long-standing history of serving the local community. Originally opened in 1964 as Bingham and District Funeral Service, the branch operated under the Beeson family alongside their Carlton, Radcliffe-on-Trent and Ruddington locations. All became part of the A.W. Lymn family in 1994, continuing a tradition of professional and compassionate care that dates back to 1907.
The building itself was formerly owned by the Squires family and functioned as the town’s local stonemasons, adding historical significance to the premises. In 2024, the Bingham funeral home underwent extensive refurbishment, introducing new, state-of-the-art facilities designed to offer families a modern, comfortable, and peaceful environment during times of need.
Dominic Lister, who has worked at A.W. Lymn since 2009, is the Funeral Director responsible for the Bingham office. A second-generation funeral director, Dominic lives locally and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role. He is a qualified Civil Celebrant and also serves as a tutor for the National Association of Funeral Directors, reflecting his commitment to the highest professional standards and continued education in the funeral profession.
Conveniently located for families in Bingham and the surrounding villages, the branch serves communities including Barnstone, Colston Bassett, Cotgrave, Cropwell Bishop, Cropwell Butler, Granby, Harby, Hickling, Kinoulton, Langar, Long Clawson, Owthorpe, Plungar, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Tythby, Upper Saxondale, East Bridgford, Gunthorpe, Lowdham, Car Colston, and Flintham.
As part of A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, a fifth-generation family business, the Bingham team is committed to delivering exceptional funeral services tailored to each family’s needs, upholding the highest standards of dignity, respect and care.
Families frequently mention the care and support they received throughout the funeral arrangements, describing staff as compassionate, kind, and attentive to their emotional needs during a difficult time. Many note how staff took time to listen to their wishes, explained the process thoroughly, and made themselves available to answer questions, which helped reduce stress and gave families confidence that everything was being handled properly.
On the day of the funeral itself, families consistently describe smooth and well-organised services where nothing seemed rushed or forgotten, with staff attending thoughtfully to details and ensuring that personal requests were honoured and the deceased was treated with dignity and respect. Several families comment on how the professionalism shown was balanced with genuine warmth, making what could have been an overwhelming occasion feel more manageable.
A number of reviews note the clarity of communication and pricing, with families appreciating that costs were transparent, options were presented without pressure, and they were kept informed at every stage of arrangements, which helped them feel in control during their bereavement.

5Lucy Daibell15th Jul 2026
I was faced with arranging a funeral for very the first time and I didn’t know where to start. I then remembered a few funerals I had attended in the past, how well organised they were and recalling the name Dominic at Lymns being mentioned with praise. I called in to Lymns at Bingham and was immediately well looked after. Nothing is forced or rushed and everything is explained in detail. They took care of everything and the whole process was smooth and problem free. I would recommend them to everyone and would like to say a huge thank you to Dominic, Edward and the team. You helped me so much and I will be forever grateful.
A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
Dear Lucy,

Thank you for placing your trust in us. We are honoured to have been able to help you, and your message is deeply appreciated.
With warmest regards, Dominic

5Stephan Porter31st May 2026
Dominic at the Bingham branch was very professional and dignified and made everything so easy for us to understand. The offer of a home visit to discuss everything initially was very helpful and helped reduce all the stress massively for my Dad. The pricing structure was also very clear with no surprises. I had no doubt that everything was under control at all times so could pretty much relax. On the day, Dominic and his team also handled everything impeccably. Can’t thank them enough for everything.
A.W. Lymn, Bingham Team replied
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It was a privilege to support you and your dad through the arrangements, and I’m really pleased to hear that the home visit helped make everything clearer and eased some of the pressure at such a difficult time. We always aim to be transparent and reassuring, so your comments about the pricing and the sense of everything being under control mean a great deal. On the day itself, it was an honour for my team and I to care for your family, and we’re truly grateful for your kind words. - Dominic & The Bingham Team

5Stella Goldsbrough9th Feb 2026
I cannot thank Jonathan and the team at Lymn’s enough for their incredible support during such a difficult time. From our very first meeting, Jonathan treated us with a level of compassion and patience, listening thoughtfully to our stories to make an event that we felt really reflected our loved one.
Every detail was handled with dignity and perfection. Lymn’s were very easy to talk to when finalising details.
They made sure that all was as we would like, dealing smoothly for us with all the logistics so that we didn’t even notice them.
They truly went above and beyond.
