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

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.

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

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.

The quality of the service of all your staff was exceptional, especially Jackie who was very professional,caring and understanding. Thank you Nigel so much for the special
hearse you kindly used for Barries final ride. Once more thank you to everyone.

Brenda. I am really pleased that Jackie looked after you so well. As you know my memories of Barrie go back over forty years and his association with our family company and all he did for Ernest Smith will never be forgotten. I am pleased that you liked the gesture with the hearse and Penny and I are so sorry that we could not be with you at the time of the funeral. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review.

Our experience of Aw Lymn was excellent, every interaction was professional whilst being sympathetic.
All of the colleagues we encountered were superb and all of our enquiries and request were handled in a timely and efficient manner.
They orchestrated a lovely ceremony in a very short space of time and it felt effortless to our family.
Highly recommend them
Thank you
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Jacques. As you are aware I had known both Sam and his wife, your Mum Sue, for well over thirty years and it was therefore very sad for me to be called upon to act in a professional capacity. I am very pleased that the services provided by our staff helped Sue, you and all the family at this very difficult and emotional time. Thank you for publicly expressing your appreciation. Nigel.

4Danuta Januszonok23rd Apr 2018
Megan was very good, knowledgeable and I greatly appreciated her support; the printers paid attention and I cannot fault the overall approach to planning of the funeral. The collection of my mother's body from home was empathetic and spot-on. The attention to detail going into the church, leaving it and at graveside was excellent. The cars were exactly as my mother had wished. The way in which my mother was dressed in the coffin from the neck down was exactly as I had instructed and clearly care had been taken over this.
There is however one aspect which could have been different - my mother's face was harsh and unrecognisable. It would have been helpful if I had been pre-warned before entering the room to view her that her face was distorted. I understand that my mother's illness would have had an effect as would the length of time she was on ice. However, overall I was pleased with the standard of service provided.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this detailed and generally positive review regarding the service provided by the team in our Nottingham office. We are pleased that each member of staff carried out their duties with care and empathy and that everything was done according to your wishes. We are however very sorry that you were disappointed with how your mother looked when you went to visit her in the Chapel of Rest. It is difficult for us to know how different a person looks when in the Chapel to how they looked in life and usually if we have any concerns we will try to discuss these with a family beforehand, but on this occasion we obviously have not and we are all very sorry that caused you upset at an already difficult time. If you would like to discuss this with us further then please do not hesitate to contact the team at Nottingham. Thank you.
