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 Sarah Godfrey 3rd Sep 2019

    Every single member of staff that we met at A W Lymn were excellent.  We were treated with kindness and respect.  Their professionalism gave us confidence that the funeral would run smoothly without us having to think about the numerous details.  Loosing Dad was a terrible time, but Lymn’s helped us through it all.  

    Thank you 

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Sarah, thank you for your kind words about Laura and the rest of our team. I only hope that our help to you, Mum, George and Jay was helpful, and you were able to give Dad the send off he thoroughly deserved.

    Finest service in this country, second to none.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    David. It was with great sadness that we were called upon to arrange the funeral of your darling wife Angela. She was such a lovely lady and I am so pleased that the service we provided and the celebration of Angela’s life lead by Kerry Corden appears to have been appropriate and to have helped you, Samantha, Laurence and all your loving family at this very difficult time. Thank you, Nigel.
  • 5 Adriana Hurt 25th Aug 2019

    Can I thank Jackie personally for her work. Everything went well, the flowers were beautiful. Nothing went wrong, everything went to plan Thank you Jackie.

    Also the gentleman that drove us to Wilfred hill was very friendly, to all my family, he was very careful putting my nephew in and out of the car in his wheelchair. He felt very safe.
    Also he was very kind in showing me my sister and two brothers how to carry my Mam correctly. We were so pleased that we could carry Mam it meant a lot to us. 

    Thank you A W Lymns 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. Jackie is glad that everything was just as you planned as that you thought the flowers were beautiful.
