Mark and Jess were absolutely amazing through the whole process. Such lovely people and really made the worst time in my life a little easier.
They were happy to accommodate for absolutely anything we needed, and I mean anything. They wanted to take all the stress out of the situation and they really did.
The whole lead up to the day, organisation of everything, and the day itself was done in such a great way, I can't sing their praises enough.
Thank you so much for everything they have done and are continuing to do, I really have appreciated it.

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.

Simply excellent. It's hard to find the words to fully describe the outstanding service we received as a family - from the start right through to our last interaction after their service had finished. And this was not a one-off either - I've used them in the past and know of other people that say the same.
Thanks

5Mark Dillon18th May 2022
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
