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, Paul Richardson, Philip Wilson, funeral arranger Megan Rosier 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.

  • 5 Lynne Crooks 3rd Mar 2024

    At such a difficult, upsetting and stressful time the service we received from AW Lymn was excellent from the first point of contact to the end of my mum’s funeral.  Philip was brilliant he immediately put us all at ease and helped us when deciding on what we wanted for our mum.  He did exactly what he said he would and contacted us promptly. I would highly recommend Philip and the other staff members we came in contact with.  

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Thank you, Lynne for this kind review. It was an honour to arrange your mother's funeral and hear the stories of her life, and I'm glad everything went exactly as we had planned. Philip.

    Amazing service. From first walking through the door and meeting Luke who gave us a feeling of comfort and keeping us updated through every step. He made my Dad's day perfect. Philip our funeral director done an amazing job in keeping my very large family in order and guided us through the day. Its all the little touches that makes such a sad day that bit easier to deal with. From bowing everytime they walked past my dad to the hand warmers given to us by our driver. Thankyou so much you are truly amazing

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Anne, your kind words are greatly appreciated. It has been an honour to support you and your family through this difficult time. I’m so glad to hear that, despite the unfortunate weather, the funeral was just right for yourselves and for your Dad. Thank you, Luke
  • 5 Joann Foote 6th Feb 2024

    This company and its staff are absolutely wonderful from the first visit to looking after mum in the chapel of rest and then finally arranging all our funeral plans it was supportive kind friendly and everything my sister and I could have hoped for . The venture although in the centre of Nottingham is accessible and plenty of parking  . The service and attention to detail was exemplary

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Thank you so much for your kind words Joann. It has been a privilege to support you and your family through this time and an honour to have been entrusted with Carol’s care. I’m so glad that we could provide continuity all the way from Mr Foote’s funeral, and I know Jonathan was very pleased to be able to serve your family again. Thank you, Luke
  • 5 Conrad Gilbert 3rd Feb 2024

    Absolutely superb Funeral service I would like to thank all staff at Nottingham for their kind caring compassionate understanding in our time of loss of our wonderful adorable mother Shirley Gilbert. Nothing was ever to much the staff were always on hand with their advice and truly comforting words. I wish to make special mention of Kevin Brown from start to finish he guided me and was an absolutely wonderful human being. I would also wish to say thank you to Lucinda on Reception, who greeted me regularly with kind words understanding and a reassuring voice. My mother's funeral service was conducted impeccably by Kevin and all the staff. Many Thanks to Father liam for carrying out a lovely service instructed by AW lymn on behalf of ourselves an excellent choice. I finally wish to pay to tribute to AW lymn God bless all the team Kindest thoughts Conrad

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    It was a privilege and an honour to be able to guide and support you Conrad in the making of the funeral arrangements for your beloved Mother, from the initial discussions in December 2023 to the day of the service itself. I thought the service, led by Father Liam, was a truly wonderful tribute to a lovely lady and am pleased that the support of Lucinda and all the team at Nottingham helped you all through this challenging time. Thank you, Kevin.
  • 5 John O'Connor 2nd Feb 2024

    Lymms provided my Father, Sister, and me a service that was filled with empathy, compassion and patience. A truly individual service that ensured that my mum had everything she wanted, and a send off that was befitting of such an amazing and wonderfully inspirational woman. Philip was the consummate professional and always available to answer any queries and provide the support that we needed from ensuring the chapel of rest was available for relatives arriving from overseas to the release of doves and provision of additional orders of service post the service. Thank you.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    John, thank you for your kind words. It was a privilege to assist you all at this difficult time, and I'm glad you were pleased with all that I did for you.
    Kind regards, Philip
  • 5 Vanessa Duncan 30th Jan 2024

    Lynn Nottinghman has been our family funeral service for decades now. My sister's funeral was on Friday 26th January 2024, and I can say we were served well by Lymn we don't expect any thing less than the service we have already received from Lynn. 

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    It was a pleasure to meet with you, Michael & Vanessa, and your wider family and to be able to help you arrange such a beautiful service for Sharon. I was pleased to hear that the celebratory service you organised went so well on the day and as you had so meticulously planned. Thank you, Kevin.
  • 5 Margaret Burrell 30th Jan 2024

    My family have always dealt with Lymns, and although I was slightly shocked by the new ‘all singing, all dancing’ brochure that seemed more appropriate to a car showroom than a funeral director, I appreciate that some people have more complex requirements than me. In any event, Kevin was more than happy to arrange the simple service that I requested and, I’m sure, gave the same level of attention to me that he would’ve done had I been spending considerably more money. On the day, Jackie was professional and attentive as always and the celebrant that they recommended delivered exactly the type of service I had in mind. I always feel safe with Lymns and would never go elsewhere. 

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Jackie and I were both honoured to be able to support you with arranging and conducting the funeral for Mr Atkin. I was pleased to hear from Jackie that the funeral ceremony had been exactly what you and Mr Atkin had wished for and that Liam delivered such a personal and professional service on the day. Thank you, Kevin.
  • 5 Donna Palmer 28th Jan 2024

    Smooth running of the day

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    It was a privilege to both arrange and conduct the funeral for Christine, and to support you and your family in arranging the very special celebration of her life that her funeral was. So evidently a lover of nature, I’m sure she would have loved to have known that there was a mouse attending her interment also! Thank you, Kevin.
  • 5 Grzegorz Gorski 26th Jan 2024

  • 5 Melanie McGlade 18th Jan 2024

    I was gently guided through the process by such lovely, caring people. Everything was explained clearly and nothing was too much trouble. The care they took with my mother’s appearance was considered and thoughtful, thus making our very final goodbyes a good memory.  They ensured that everything went smoothly on the day of her cremation. I heartily thank them for steering me through this difficult time.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dear Melanie, thank you for leaving this lovely review. I’m pleased everything went well for you and the rest of the family. Megan.

    Second time we have used Lymns in two years. If you require a personal touch throughout look no further than Lymns.If your fortunate enough to have Phillip Wilson with you on the day his attitude work ethic and attention to detail is exemptional. Not the cheapest but the best. I would recommend Lymns without hesitation for all your funeral needs. A 5 star service.

  • 5 Jacqueline Murphy 5th Dec 2023

    Lymns took all the stress and worry of arranging our son’s funeral away, very professional and most importantly they cared 

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    The Nottingham team were privileged to be able to support your family in the arranging of Aaron’s funeral service and pleased to hear that everything went in accordance with your wishes. We thought the ‘Only Fools and Horses’ hearse was a wonderful addition to the arrangements, given Aaron’s fondness of the TV programme. Thank you, Kevin
