Staff were very professional and kind. Every detail taken care of. We had a problem with coach transport breaking down after the funeral but Lymns staff stepped in and sorted out extra cars. Would have no hesitation in highly recommending Lymns .

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.

    Thank you for your positive review. Nigel, my father, has also asked me to add that he was sorry that having arranged the funeral and met with all your family he could not attend, but that Matthew did inform him that everything went as expected and he managed to understand the instructions left for him detailing the special route for the cortege to follow.

  • 5 Paul Grainger 18th Oct 2016

    As usual, A W Lymn have proved to be very kind, caring and professional in the preparation, manner and conduct of our late Mother's funeral. Right from the start when Mum was taken into their care, sitting down with the funeral director to discuss our needs, visiting Mum in the Chapel of Rest and answering our questions and concerns (thanks Jackie and Nigel!), and, of course the funeral itself which went without a hitch and helped put at ease what is naturally a sad time for all. We cannot recommend A W Lymn highly enough. Thank you for everything. Paul, Mark and David Grainger, and Carol Evans.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Dear Paul, Mark, David & Carol, thank you for your high appraisal of our service. Both my Father Nigel and Aunt Jackie have seen the review and have asked me to say in my response how much they both appreciate your kind comments about both themselves and the other members of the A W Lymn team that were involved in the funeral. Thank you.
  • 5 Paul Herring 15th Oct 2016

    Everyone at Lymns were very professional,helpful, patient and understanding.
    Kirsty and her colleagues made the funeral run smoothly, just as we had wished for.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Kirsty and I would like to thank you for taking the time to post these kind words and we are pleased that the service was to your wishes.
  • 5 Margaret Ann McNab 10th Oct 2016

    We were extremely pleased with the service we received from Lymns we could not have asked for better understanding and help at this difficult time.

    On behalf of all our family I would like to thank AW Lymn for their unique and talented Team incorporating a combination of Kirsty"s very high professionalism, efficiency and respect coupled with Barbara's unequalled friendliness, warmth and compassion throughout. Both
    Kirsty and Barbara took great care of every little detail, nothing was ever too much trouble for either of them, resulting in a beautiful ceremony for Maria tailored to the families every wish.
    I cannot speak highly enough of AW Lymn and their whole Team, and therefore I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to you.
    Many thanks, and Kind regards, John, Marcin and Family.
