Whilst we still have to inter David, Jackie at Lymn's has gone over and above what was expected. Many thanks to all concerned, very much appreciated.

Jenny Percival 20th Apr 2017

From the initial phone call, through the planning of the funeral, the funeral service and to the scattering of the ashes, the guidance, support and advice we received was excellent. This ensured we were able to arrange the funeral that was tailored to our needs and perfect for us. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were sensitive and courteous, there to attend to our every need, but also aware of when to stand back and give us the space we needed. I cannot thank them enough for all they did to make such a difficult time easier to bear.

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.

    Jenny. Being a close member of the family, and having managed the Bingham office of our family firm for many years prior to his retirement, Derek’s funeral was inevitably going to be a very emotional and difficult time for us all. I am very sorry that because I was out of the country I was unable to be of practical support on the day of the funeral but I know that our Sister Jackie and all our family and staff worked hard to ensure that Derek’s wishes were carried out in an exacting professional and yet comforting and supporting manner. I also know that Canon Alan Haydock was an immense help and that Pearl and all those at the Plough in Wysall made the after funeral reception very special. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me in such a public manner. Thank you, Nigel

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Steve. I was sorry to have to see you at another family funeral. It was great to hear you Mum’s life story and then to hear her singing on the CD at her own funeral. It was nice to see so many friends supporting you and your family and I do think that it helped as the sun was shining. Thank you for the very kind review of the services provided by the staff at my family company. In particular I will ensure that both Barbara and Kirsty are aware of your kind comments. Thank you, Nigel.

  • 5 Isobel Craig 24th Mar 2017

    A W Lymn carried out my mother's personal wishes for her funeral with great sensitivity, professionalism, kindness and care. They spent considerable time with her before she died, planning and recording exactly what she would like as and when the time came.
    They made what is obviously a very difficult time for all the family much easier and less stressful by their attention to detail, thought and patience, which was always combined with a quiet and reassuring efficiency.
    Every member of staff displayed the same thoughtful, kind, professional approach whenever we had dealings with them, and we thank them all.
    I would not hesitate to recommend the services of this family-owned and run firm. 



    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Both Jackie and I would like to thank you for this very kind and detailed review of the service she provided both at the time of pre-arranging the funeral with your mother and when the sad time came. We are pleased that her attention to detail made this difficult time a little less stressful for you and your family and are glad that you found the rest of the team at Nottingham to be thoughtful, kind and professional. Thank you.
  • 5 Jasmine Bailey 24th Mar 2017

    From start to finish Harry's funeral was handled with great care and compassion. Every tiny detail was catered for. Lymns guided me through every step and made a very difficult time flow with dignity and compassion. Many, many thanks to all at Lymns, especially to Matthew and Julia.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Jasmine, thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review. I thought the service for Harry was very personal and fitting, right down to his golf bag and clubs travelling beside him. Julia and her team really did all the hard work, and I am pleased we delivered the service you would have wanted for him. With my best wishes.

  • 5 Julie Montague 13th Mar 2017

    From going into Lymns and organising a pre-payment funeral with them for my mother in August 2015 to the date of her funeral on 9 March 2017. The whole experience and process was made so much easier for choosing Lymns. They were very professional and courteous throughout the process, making sure every little fine details was taken care of. Everyone who was there on the day said how beautiful it was prepared by Lymns,  down to the Order of Service and the Rememberance cards. They made sure that the orange roses for my mum's coffin were the exact colour I wanted. Thank you to all the team involved with looking after my mother and her funeral. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased to see that the team at Nottingham were able to give your mother the funeral you had wanted with all the small details exactly as you had wished. We would also thank you for your kind words about the professional, courteous and caring way both Emily and Julia looked after you at this sad time.
  • 5 Peter & Deborah Glossop 7th Mar 2017

    I cannot compliment or thank Julia and the rest of the Lymn's team enough. My mum's funeral was handled professionally and sympathetically from start to finish. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate any changes/additions we wanted to make, sometimes at very short notice, was superb and contributed to a very special and memorable day for all the family. I would also like to thank Andy Bruce for conducting such a lovely service, his touching tribute captured the essence of my mum perfectly.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Both Julia and I would lie to thank you for this wonderful review. She is pleased that she was able to help you tailor the service to make it special and memorable for you. I have also forwarded your review to Andy Bruce so he gets to see the kind words you have written about him. Thank you.
