We organised my brother’s funeral through the central Nottingham branch of AW Lymn recently. I can’t fault the service - the staff were caring & compassionate, and took care of all the practicalities, making the whole process straightforward and respectful. Thank you.

When a family is in the darkness of sadness you were there for us all. You are the best in the business by far, an absolute blessing to you all, you’ve taken care of some of the most difficult choices family members have to make when struggling with grief

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 arranger Megan Rosier and receptionist Lucinda Pallett.
The opening times are Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12.30pm. Staff are also available to meet with you outside of office hours at a mutually convenient time. 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.

5Kevin Shaw17th May 2026
Every attendee of my mums funeral thought it was a fitting tribute to my mother and thought the content described her perfectly and the celebrant Malcolm was excellent. That’s all I hoped for when choosing Lymns to deal with my mums welfare in her final moments. Everyone I dealt with from Deanna, Malcolm, Philip and Lucinda on reception were professional and showed so much respect to my late mum. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose them to handle any future bereavement in my family and that’s the biggest compliment I can pay them. My heartfelt thanks to them all for making my mums send off worthy of her.

We will ensure that your thanks are passed on to Deanna, Malcolm, Philip and Lucinda, who will all be touched to know that their care, professionalism and support brought comfort to you and your family during such a difficult time.
Creating a meaningful farewell for every family is at the heart of what we do, and we are grateful you felt your mum received the send-off she deserved.

Service and communication was excellent, it was also very nice to see our veteran Nigel leading the processions. I used Lymn because of their years of experience, conducting the black communities funeral culture.

5Desmond Bowe17th Feb 2026
Philip arranged and also conducted the funeral for my brother. From the very beginning he put myself and my Mum at ease and took care of everything. Philip kept me up to date along the way and took time to call myself and my Mum to see how we were doing and coping. Philip was also the conductor at my brothers funeral, so seeing a familiar and friendly face on the day also helped to ease the stress as he was available to answer any questions and helped the day go smoothly.
A special mention also to Megan and Lucinda who were also a great comfort to the family each time we visited Lymn’s and again answered any questions we had. David and Kane the drivers, also very professional and respectful.
The service provided by Lymn’s could not be faulted. Thank you to all who helped with the funeral of my brother.
A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
Des and Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your kind words.
It was truly a privilege to support you both during such a difficult time and to help arrange and conduct your brother Paul’s funeral.
I’m so glad that having a familiar face on the day brought some comfort and that we were able to help things run smoothly for you.
Our thoughts remain with you and your family and it was an honour to help create a meaningful service for Paul.

Absolute wonderful service from start to finish.
Philip Wilson was so helpful in helping us to organise my father’s funeral, nothing was too much trouble, the slightest concern we had or idea he advised us and helped us to make sure that everything was perfect! Thank you Philip for your patience and understanding, you made everything run so smoothly.
Your kind nurture put us all at ease, almost like a special friend especially in circumstances like these.
Thank you so much.

As always Nigel and the team at a w lymm done a fantastic job
At our aunts funeral as a family we have used them for over 30 years and never had any issues
Always very caring and respectful in every detail we highly recommend them
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
George. Thank you for your very kind words. As you say my father, my son and I have all had the privilege of serving your family in their time of need for many years. We are very grateful for your kind comments and for the kind words that you [passed to me about our teams in both Nottingham and Mansfield Woodhouse. We feel more like part of each others families rather than a business/customer relationship. Again thank you. Nigel.

5Sharon Hunt1st Jan 2026
We just arranged a whole funeral in 9 days over the Christmas period. Lymn was professional, conscientious and always considerate, Kevin was on the ball in the lead up and Edward received the pass perfectly for the service itself. The fact that there were two bank holidays in between as well as the usual Christmas chaos did not phase them. Exemplary service
A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
It was both a privilege and an honour to assist you with the funeral arrangements for Angela and that, despite the frustrations of the Bank Holiday closures, we were able to support you in successfully organising the wonderful celebration of Angela’s life - Kevin & The Nottingham Team
