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.

  • 5 Roz and family Lynch 1st Nov 2022

    Yet again Lymns have been extremely profession, sensitive and approachable whilst dealing with our family loss. I dealt with Paul in January when I lost my mum, unfortunately we lost a very dear family member in October in which I request for Paul to deal with our affairs in terms of the funeral. Both funerals we're very different but equally as beautiful thanks to Paul remembering our family, understanding the different requests and support for us to fulfill the deceased wishes.
    Also other staff members at Lymns have been equally kind, caring, professional and compassionate when I have spoken with them. My family member who recently passed was extremely poorly and had a nasty tumour on the face. When I went to visit him he looked very clean tidy and smart, I felt he was going out very dignified. Thankyou again to Paul and all the team, keep doing what you are doing so well .
    you are all like a little family and I have always felt looked after by you all.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dear Roz, thank you for taking the time to leave a great review of our services and for your very high appraisal for my Colleagues at the Nottingham Office. I am so sorry that it has been necessary for you to have had to instruct us again following the very sad loss of Albert, and it has been a privilege looking after you and all your family. I wish you well in moving forwards. Kindest regards, Paul.
  • 5 Melissa White-Sansom 26th Oct 2022

    Jackie was amazing! Thoughtful and caring throughout the entire process. Her patience and kindness will never be forgotten during this heartbreaking time for myself and my family. 

    Jackie Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you very much Melissa. You were all dignified and courteous to me and the team considering the tragic circumstances surrounding Toby's death.
    Your two little girls were amazing, a credit to you and to Toby.
    I wish you the very best .
  • 5 Jackie Finnegan 14th Oct 2022

    Excellent you can always rely on a very personal, empathetic and caring service. Paul was very compassionate and made us feel at ease, as if we were the only family going through this. I know everything will go smoothly when using Lymns services, they go that extra mile and nothing is ever too much trouble. Sadly we have had to use Lymns a few times over the last few years, they are always exceptional and I would not use anyone else.

  • 5 Kathryn McFadden 1st Oct 2022

    The most excellent service available. They made everything run so smoothly and gave my partner a send off that was so respectable and just as I wanted. I cannot recommend A W Lymns enough for anyone needing to organise a funeral. They are so professional and are so friendly. I don't think I would have had such a lovely respectful funeral if I'd used anyone else. The people there made this awful experience into a funeral I was proud of. Thank you A W Lymns...

    From the very beginning all at A W Lymn were extremely helpful and sympathetic. At this very difficult time, we were guided and helped to make the appropriate choices which resulted in a funeral which truly reflected my mother. We were shown the utmost courtesy and nothing was too much trouble. At all times A W Lymn acted in a very professional manner and we would not hesitate in recommending them.
