A.W. Lymn’s Bulwell funeral home is based at Middleton House, the oldest building in the town, located on Main Street. The premises are named in honour of Stanley Middleton, the celebrated local writer and Booker Prize winner, and father of company director Penny Lymn Rose.

The branch is led by Funeral Director Tony Knowles, who has been part of the A.W. Lymn team for over 40 years, bringing a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the families we serve. He is supported by Funeral Arranger Paige Gleedwood, who has great local knowledge and is currently working towards her Certificate in Funeral Arranging and Administration.
Middleton House serves Bulwell and its surrounding areas, including Bestwood Park, Bestwood Village, Bulwell Forest, Bulwell Hall, Crabtree Farm, Heathfield and Leen Valley estates, Hempshill Vale, Heron Ridge, Highbury Vale, Sellers Wood, Snape Wood, Top Valley and beyond.

The price is very expensive so that has a lot to do with the review. Caroline was absolutely fantastic and did all she could to help us and talk to us she was absolutely fantastic. There was a couple of errors but they have sorted this quite fast and efficient
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for you very kind words about the way you were looked after fantastically by Caroline. We are however disappointed to see that there were a couple of errors with the funeral and although these were addressed straight away for you we are sorry that they ever arose. We also note your comment that your three star rating of our service was predominantly determined by the fact you found us to be expensive. We do not aim to be the cheapest, but we do aim to offer a service of the highest quality at a competitive price and so are disappointed that you did not feel that we achieved this. If you would like to discuss anything further please do not hesitiate to contact either the Bulwell office or myself. Thank you
