About Us

A.W. Lymn’s Clifton funeral home, located at Charworth House on Varney Road, has been serving the local community since 1990. Originally converted from a butcher’s shop, the premises were transformed into a warm and welcoming space.

For more than 35 years, the Clifton team has been a dedicated part of the local community—supporting charitable causes, helping families arrange personal and meaningful funerals, and proudly contributing to projects such as the Clifton War Memorial.

The branch is managed by Funeral Director Jane Keetley, who joined A.W. Lymn following the acquisition of Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Care in 1994. Jane brings a wealth of experience and has previously worked at the company’s Wollaton and Radcliffe funeral homes before returning to Clifton—a place she once called home. Jane is overseen by Senior Funeral Director Edward Martin, ensuring continuity of high standards and compassionate care.

A.W. Lymn has exciting plans for the future of the Clifton branch. In 2021, the company purchased Bob Sherwin’s garage on Southchurch Drive, which was demolished to make way for a purpose-built, state-of-the-art funeral home. Construction is due to begin in 2025, marking a new chapter in the provision of local funeral care.

This branch is ideally situated to serve Clifton, Clifton Village, Clifton Grove, Wilford, Gotham, East Leake, The Meadows, Silverdale, Lark Hill retirement complex, Thrumpton, Kingston upon Soar, Barton in Fabis, and surrounding areas.

As part of A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, a fifth-generation family-run business founded in 1907, the Clifton team remains committed to upholding a long-standing tradition of personalised and dignified funeral services. The company is led by directors Nigel, Matthew, and Jackie Lymn Rose.

    Thank you for taking the time to send your kind words, Amanda. I am so pleased that you were happy with everything for your mum’s funeral. She is now reunited with your dad who I looked after last year and who she missed so very much. Whenever I hear the Winnie the Pooh poem that she liked so much, I will think of you mum. Best wishes, Joanna

    From start to finish Neil was looked after with dignity and respect ,nothing was too much trouble for the people involved in the arrangements of his funeral,Joanna in particular was patient and pointed us all in the right direction with her gentle manner and etiquette I found that very comforting throughout,the drivers Rob and Dave were dignified and gracious on our last journey with Neil .
    I would certainly recommend to anyone this team of people who made a very heartbreaking time a whole lot easier 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    All the team on the day was happy to help you on Neil’s final journey and we are pleased that everything went as you had wished. It certainly was a heart-breaking time for you, not helped by the fact that so many of his friends couldn’t be there for his funeral but you all did him proud and he had a wonderfully dignified service. Thank you, Joanna.

    Caring and Professional  as always, but during these strange times with coronavirus & the lockdown - they all went that extra mile - even if it was spending time to chat to me on the telephone as I felt very isolated  especially from my family ,  it helped make  this traumatic time easier to cope with. A Very Special Thank You To You All

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    During these difficult times, we all feel for families that are caught up in this situation and know how challenging it is when families are apart and cannot give their loved one the service you had wished for them. I am pleased that we were able to ease that a little for you and you found us to be caring and professional. Thank you, Joanna.

  • 3 Antony Morrison 23rd May 2020

    The staff at the place were professional, they were understanding and helpful.
    However the companies charging for viewing the body in the chapel of rest I don't agree with, wanting £200 just to say goodbye which I know alot of other companies don't charge for. Also was upsetting for my grandmother's sister coming out of the service to see her flowers she had brought were missing and still at branch, good job she came or we would of been no wiser of missing flowers, staff soon rectified it but it shouldn't of happened.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your feedback, as discussed previously we do itemise all our charges meaning that families only pay for the part of our service which they utilise. I am however extremely sorry about the flowers, the florist delivered them and left them at our premises, but with the flowers that were for another funeral. Once we realised this we delivered them for you, I am however sorry that this meant they were late arriving with you at the Cemetery. If you would like to discuss either matter further please feel free to contact me via matthew@lymn.co.uk. Thank you.

    Thank you so much to Joanna. We have really appreciated all the support and communication both locally and in Australia. Sue, myself and family are very grateful for accommodating us with the personal touches. It meant so much and helped to comfort us at this sad time. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    I was honoured to be able to help you all during this difficult time and I understood how hard it was for you not being able to travel to your dad’s funeral. Hopefully the videos and photographs have gone some way to help you feel connected. Thank you, Joanna.
