Mark Ridout was absolutely brilliant. Kind, sensitive, understanding and overall service was First Class. On the rare occasions that Mark was unavailable, Jessica, his assistant was excellent. The bearers, drivers and rest of the staff were also excellent. Thank you all at Lymns. Best Regards, Dante Mutti.

A excellent company .The Funeral Staff were all excellent always willing to go that extra mile to ensure my requirements for the funeral were met. A special mention for Paul who really helped me .
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.

5Tracey Jayne Dean8th Aug 2023
A.W.Lymn based at Carlton have been so supportive and helpful throughout all of the arrangements for my husband's funeral
From the initial phone call to arrange going in to speak to them, to the funeral itself, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff if I needed help or advice
They kept me informed about everything and were always courteous and kind.
The funeral was carried out with care and dignity.
Paul, who led the funeral for us, I cannot speak highly enough of. He was always approachable when I needed help or advice on anything, and he is so kind.
All of the staff were so discreet in their presence but also highly professional.
At a very difficult time, I was helped by the staff at Carlton and I cannot thank them enough for making such a sad event bearable. I am so grateful of the help you gave me to make my husband's funeral such a loving tribute for him, it was exactly what I wanted for him.
Thankyou for everything.
