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.

    A.W.Lymns was so helpful and understanding and they are so friendly and caring. My whole experience with them from the moment I walked through the door was amazing. I’d like to say a big Thankyou and speak very highly off to Alan Matthews and Stephen Wakeling. Without them I couldn’t have done it. Thankyou.

    We are so pleased that we were able to help such a lovely person through a very traumatic experience. The stories that you told about Ray were extremely heart-warming. He seemed a wonderful person and we hope we did his memory justice. The whole team wishes you all the best. Thank you, Alan.

  • 5 Angela Loscalzo 30th Nov 2018

    A respectful and excellent service.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Angela. I have known members of your family for many years and indeed your niece worked with us over twenty years ago and is still fondly thought after. It was therefore with added sadness that our family firm was called upon to undertake the funeral of your late husband. I am sure it was a help to see so many of the Italian community in the Cathedral and I am pleased that the service we provided was to the high standard you expected. Thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose

  • 5 Carol Collin 24th Nov 2018

    Thank you all,you took all the worry away,It was just right for Peter

    Carol, it was with much sadness that I was called upon to conduct the funeral of my dear friend Peter. It makes things doubly difficult when acting both in a professional capacity and as a friend. I am therefore very grateful that the service provided by our family and our family company helped you and your family at this very sad and emotional time‎. Nigel

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased that the support and guidance provided by Megan and the team at Nottingham made this difficult time a little easier for you. Thank you.
  • 5 Margaret Taylor 18th Nov 2018

    From the very first phone call I made to A.W.Lymn everything was handled professionally and smoothly by Alan Matthews. A funeral for a loved one is very difficult to arrange but Alan made things so much easier and straight forward. His communication with me (Pete Sheridan) for every detail and every step of the planning was first class. So from the initial phone call right through to the burial everything and everyone including the bearers were first class and very professional. ......Thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for this very kind review. You were an absolute pleasure to deal with as you knew exactly what you wanted and had almost all aspects of the funeral decided beforehand. You went out of your way to be contactable for the various choices and decisions that needed to be made throughout. I am so glad that everything went well and as you had envisioned. Kind wishes to you all. Alan.

  • 5 Lyn Roworth 24th Oct 2018

    I have been dealing with Lynms at Robin Hood House for many years now and trust them to do a totally professionally and friendly service every time.This time for my late husband Philip Roworth,Nigel did a wonderful job to make sure everything was done to perfection including the white doves at the end  of the service. Barbara on the reception is so lovely, she sorts everything out for you. I truely would recommend your company to anyone. Thank you so much for everything. Kind Regards Lyn Roworth x

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Lyn. Thank you so much for your kind review of the services provided by our family business in general and Barbara and I particular. As you are now aware I had worked for Philip some forty years ago and although I had not been in contact in recent years I continued to have a great respect for him and to have many memories of our times together. It was therefore with both pride and sadness that I was with you at Philip's funeral. There was a natural warmth and it was apparent that so many people's lives had been better by knowing Philip. Again thank you for your kind comments and I am glad that we were able to ignore the scheduled timetable and visit Notts County on route to the crematorium. Nigel
  • 5 Thomas Thrall 25th Sep 2018

  • 5 Chloe Lymn Rose 27th Aug 2018

    As the owners of this Company this is the first time that we have had the opportunity to leave a review on FuneralZone. As a family we would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all the staff both involved throughout the process and others for their kindness and support. Each and everyone showed us care and compassion and the funeral itself was carried out to perfection in a professional, traditional and dignified manner. A very fitting tribute to our Company Chairman. Thank you.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    When my father, lifelong friend and mentor George died we found ourselves requiring the services of a funeral director. Our family firm, with which Dad had been involved for approaching seventy years and where I have worked with him for the last fifty years was obviously selected. Being a close family member and mourner I was not sure how I would feel as a client of our own company but the experience proved to be uplifting and the service provided by my friends and colleagues at A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service was exemplary. I sincerely thank all those involved on behalf of my mother, sisters and wider family for the support they gave to us, for the way they looked after Dad and for the quality and level of service that they all provided. I now have some personal experience as a bereaved family member of the service we offer and can fully understand why so many of our clients give us the accolade of a five star review. Thank you.
