From start to finish the whole process was made as easy as possible for those arranging the funeral. We were visited at home to ascertain our requirements for the funeral and every option was explained clearly and our wishes noted. On the day everything went smoothly , without any hitches and the mourners cared for in a friendly and dignified manner.
I can not speak highly enough of the service provided.

Joyce at A. W.Lymn in Carlton was excellent, she organised everything so well and quickly and with warmth that helped me. I could not have wished for any better help and service.
On the day of the funeral the lady and gentlemen that came were so helpful , especially Russell. They could not have done more to ensure everything proceeded smoothly and with a sympathetic touch for everyone present.
Thank you Lymn Funeral service .

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.

I would recommend Lymns funeral services after our recent experience with the funeral of our father. From the first phone call there professionalism and caring approach was highly apparent. We were guided through the process with care and empathy. Advice and guidance was given throughout.
