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 and Philip Wilson, funeral arranger Megan Rosier and receptionist Lucinda Pallett.
The opening times are Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12.30pm. Staff are also available to meet with you outside of office hours at a mutually convenient time. 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.

Amazing from start to finish. I would highly recommend. It was as if they were holding my hand all the way through the process. From the people to the amazing cars, the celebrant and flowers just first class.

Darren thank you for your most kind words of review and your five star appraisal. I am sorry that I was only able to oversee your Mother’s funeral arrangements and funeral from a distance I am however very pleased that the arrangements in advance of the funeral made by Megan proceeded as you requested. I am also pleased that the staff on the day lead by funeral director Philip and the Rolls-Royce hearse were to your satisfaction and that the celebration of your Mother’s life lead by Colum was everything that you had hoped for. Thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose.

From day 1 when mum was taken into their care the service provided to our family was absolutely amazing.
We have dealt with Lymns prior to mum passing away and have always received a top class professional service.
They deal with everything with dignity and respect and were always there with any questions and concerns, true professionals from beginning to the end.
We dealt a lot with Luke who went above and beyond to assure and comfort our family throughout the whole process, many thanks Luke for all your support.

5Angela Jennings 22nd Sep 2025
From initial contact to organising the funeral mass and interment at Carlton cemetery the staff at Lymns have been amazing guiding us and listening to our preferences. They made a difficult time a lot easier. The evening reception into church and the requiem mass the following day was just what mum would have wanted all went seemlessly a day to be loveingly remembered of mums final journey. To all the staff we met Megan Philip and all those behind the scenes who work tirelessly and with great empathy and professionalism the family send their sincerest thanks without all of you we would have been rather lost The family would highly recommend the services of Lymns. Thank you to each and everyone of you the Jennings family.
