We had a first class service from Mark Ridout and the Lymn's team at Carlton.
Just as was the case with my Father's funeral 13 years ago, Mark attended efficiently to every last detail in order to ensure that the day itself went off without a hitch and did so with his trade mark solicitous and caring manner.
I cannot recommend Lymns highly enough and we are very fortunate to have such a traditional and experienced Business in the East Midlands.
I would not consider using anyone else

Harrod House in Carlton, located on Church Street, serves as the purpose-designed home of A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service in the area. Originally established as G. Harrod and Sons, the business became part of the A.W. Lymn group in October 1994 following the acquisition of four funeral homes from Jason Beeson. As part of that transition, the company was proud to welcome Gerald Harrod, a member of the founding family, into the team.
In January 2018, the funeral home moved from its original location on Church Street to its current, larger premises. The building was renamed Harrod House in memory of Gerald, who passed away in 2013. Reflecting Gerald’s impact on the company.
The funeral home is led by Senior Funeral Director Mark Ridout, who brings decades of experience and compassionate care. He is supported by Funeral Director Paul Richardson and Funeral Arranger Emma Hemstock.
This branch serves the communities of Carlton, Bakersfield, Bulcote, Burton Joyce, Caythorpe, Colwick, Gedling, Lowdham, Mapperley, Netherfield, Sneinton, St Ann’s, and surrounding areas.
As part of A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, a fifth-generation family-run business established in 1907, Harrod House continues the proud tradition of respectful, bespoke funeral care under the guidance of directors Nigel, Matthew, and Jackie Lymn Rose.

Sadly had to use the services of a Lymns on a few occasions.
Always treated with the utmost respect, by warm and friendly staff.
Nothing is too much trouble and will accommodate your wishes.
First time using the Carlton office and Danny, Mark and a Jessica were outstanding in their services during a very difficult time.
Of course a big thank you also to Matthew.
