For many years my family have always used Lymns to arrange their funerals. My mum's funeral was conducted with dignity and compassion. Everything was done in a professional, calm and caring manner, despite the challenging times we are all going through. Also cannot thank Joanna Widdowson at the Clifton branch for everything she did to make sure our mum's wishes were carried out. Sincere thanks to everyone who helped me and my family say goodbye to our dear mum. Patricia and Sheila xx

I cannot say enough good things about A.W. Lymn Clifton. My aunt passed away in February, and we had to plan her funeral long distance since we live in Canada. Joanna at the office in Clifton was nothing short of incredible in her work on our behalf, walking me through what needed to be done, and how to do it. When our trip to England to attend the funeral had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she was so supportive and went above and beyond the call of duty. Her thoughtfulness, encouragement and commitment to making sure that my aunt was given the best 'goodbye' meant so much to us. Diane, who officiated at the funeral was wonderful, and delivered a truly special service. We are so grateful to A.W. Lymn Clifton for being there for our aunt when we couldn't. Thank you!

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.
