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.
Everything from start to finish was faultless. Impeccable, professional and very sympathetic.

MANY THANKS TO MARK & HIS TEAM, EMMA & PAUL. FROM THE MOMENT MARK ARRIVED TO PICK MY MOTHER UP AFTER PASSING AWAY AT HOME, HE WAS VERY CARING, COMPASSIONATE & TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL. EVERY DETAIL ABOUT THE FUNERAL WAS CHECKED & DOUBLE CHECKED WITH ME. MARK WENT ABOVE & BEYOND WHEN HE ARRANGED FOR THE HURST & 3 CARS TO REVERSE UP A DEAD END STREET SO WE COULD LEAVE FROM MUM'S HOME. NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE. I WOULD NOT HESITATE IN RECOMMENDING MARK, EMMA & PAUL.

AW Lymn made what was a difficult time and process an enjoyable experience. Their professionalism, compassion and respect for our family and for Mary was amazing. From start to finish Emma guided us every step of the way and went above and beyond. Mark on the day was fantastic and looked after our family so well.
A life event that will impact us all but one made so much better with AW Lymns by your side.

Take care, from Emma, Mark and Paul.
5Vivien Bentley31st May 2024
This is our 3rd funeral with Lymns, chosen because of the care and compassion shown. We were able to make contact whenever we needed to. The way Peter was handled was with the utmost care and respect. We could not have asked for a better way to say goodbye to our wonderful husband and father. It was the little touches suggested that we had not thought of that made it all the more memorable and special for us. Special thanks to Emma and Paul for their professionalism and care for me under extremely challenging circumstances.
A.W. Lymn, Carlton Team replied
Dear Vivien, Thank you for leaving such a kind review. It was a privilege to help you and your family with the funeral arrangements for Peter.
