About Us

Although A W Lymn's head office moved to Robin Hood House on Robin Hood Street in 1977, many people in the area still refer to this office as "Lymn's on Bath Street".

The head office, built by fourth generation George Rose in the late 1970's, has several in-house funeral directors to help families with their funeral needs, and also houses most of the company's administration staff.

The funeral home is staffed by funeral directors Kevin Browne and Philip Wilson, funeral arrangers Megan Rosier and Luke Mellor, and receptionist Lucinda Pallett.

The opening times are Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. Staff are also available to meet with you after office hours. Please call the telephone number at any time to arrange a convenient appointment.

Besides the administration and reception area, the premises have a coffin showroom, family rooms, visiting rooms, cold room facilities, a full fleet of hearses and limousines, a vintage fleet, stone masonry services and a florist.

A.W. Lymn's head office serves all of Nottingham city centre and its surrounding areas including Bobbers Mill, Colwick, Hyson Green, Mapperley, Radford, Sherwood, Sneinton, St. Ann's, The Meadows and beyond.

A W Lymn is owned and managed by the Lymn Rose family. Nigel Lymn Rose, one of the company's directors, was president of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) during its centenary year in 2005.

    Peter, it was a privilege supporting you in arranging the funeral service for Dean, and an honour for me to conduct the funeral on the day.

  • 5 Nikki Morgan 25th Feb 2025

    All I can say is that Lymn's go above and beyond with their care when you’re planning a funeral for your loved one, nothing is too much trouble and they have all the time in the world for you at one of the most difficult and devastating times in your life. They helped us to plan so well to ensure that we had everything in place for my husband Barry (Jess and Lucy’s Dad’s) funeral, we really did have the most special day with their help to celebrate his life surrounded by all our family and friends.

    We would just like say an extra big thank you to Jackie, Nigel and Lucinda for how exceptional they were and for all their kindness, patience and support that they have shown the three of us over the last few very distressing and emotional weeks.

    With love from, Nikki, Jess and Lucy Morgan.

    Jackie Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Nikki, Jess and Lucy, as you know I had known Barry all his life and it was therefore particularly sad to oversee his funeral. I really am so pleased that the service provided by our family company and by Jackie and Lucinda helped to make the funeral so special. It was a real accolade to Barry to see so many at the service and this really speaks volumes of the high esteem in which he was held and the love and friendship that was felt towards him. It was an honour for me to oversee the proceedings on the day.
    Thank you for your high appraisal

  • 5 Stephen Smith 16th Feb 2025

    Wonderful service in very difficult circumstances. Special mention to Phillip Wilson who went above and beyond to accomodate our wishes. Also, Lucinda Pallett for her sympathetic ear. Only sore point, was the attitude of Nigel, whom my wife found arrogant in the initial stages.
    In spit of this, we were provided with a marvellous send off for our relative's final send off. Thank you all.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Mr Smith. I am so pleased that you were provided with a wonderful service and send-off for your relative, and that Philip Wilson and Lucinda Pallett went above and beyond to accommodate your wishes. I am very sorry that your Wife found my attitude arrogant in the initial stages, but as you rightly state there were very difficult circumstances that I had to circumnavigate with the other party for you. I am only pleased that once I had been able to facilitate a diplomatic compromise everything progressed well with the funeral. Thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose.

  • 5 Tanya Benjamin-Edwards 21st Jan 2025

    Having no experience of having to arrange a funeral, from the very first phone call with funeral director Luke, we were put at ease. Luke managed everything from the cars, the visits, to the many changes to the order of service. Nothing was too much trouble.

    Thanks to Philip, Deanna, Lucinda, and in particular Luke, who even attended on the day of the funeral at our request.

    Thank you very much to all at Lymm's.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dear Tanya and all the family, thank you so much for such a glowing review. It has been an honour to support you with arranging Cory’s funeral. It is clear that she was so loved by you all and it was a privilege to be asked to take part in the funeral.
    Thank you so much, Luke

  • 5 Dinesh Verma 11th Jan 2025

    I would highly recommend A.W.Lymn's. Edward Martin is absolutely brilliant in every aspect, a teue gentleman who dealt with us with care, empathy and efficiently - always available at the end of the phone and no question or request was ever a problem. Special mention to Izzy, Lucinda and Megan in the Nottingham office who have looked after us with so much empathy and care.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dinesh, at such a difficult time for you and the family we sincerely thank you for sharing such kind words about the service. Having met Ratna and experiencing her warmth and kindness it was a real honour for me to have played my part. To see the chapel at full capacity was a real testament to her character, seeing the hundreds of people from all walks of life who’s lives she had been a part of was incredibly moving. We all wish you, Xena, and the family every strength moving forward. Take care and thanks again, Edward and the team.
