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 Phil & Gail Whiles 26th Feb 2022

    A very big thankyou to Lymns and especially Philip for the support and guidance we received. We were guided through the whole process at the initial meeting. Options were discussed, without being pushy and I was updated as to progress regularly, either by meagre or phone call.
    I really could not have asked for better support throughout. The receptionist was always helpful, the staff on the day helped involve us and Philip even picked up a shovel at one point!
    Thank you so much Lymns, for making a horrible time almost bearable.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Thank you for your kind review, and for entrusting us to look after Gail. I’m glad that we were able to provide you with our support in giving your wife the special service that she truly deserved. My kindest regards, Philip

  • 5 Maxine Adjei 18th Feb 2022

    Myself and my family are very grateful for the support and guidance of the arrangements for my mother’s funeral.
    The process from start to finish was explained clearly and we were encouraged to double check anything we did not understand.
    We were prompted at some stages of the funeral plan which was a great help and pleasantly surprised at some of the wishes we could request.
    We personally would like to thank Philip Wilson for arranging the funeral, paying attention to detail and carrying out our wishes along side all his colleagues who helped make my mother’s final journey and place of rest a perfect goodbye.
    I could not have wished for more. Thank you A. W. Lymn

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Thank you Maxine for your kind words. It was a privilege and honour to help you and family at this difficult time and I’m pleased that the service was a comfort to you all. If there is anything further I can help you with please do not hesitate to get in touch. Philip.
  • 5 Roz and family Lynch 18th Feb 2022

    I can't express how fantastic staff at Lymns have been. My family are devastated at losing our mother and you guys made a lot less pressure and worry in terms of dealing with the funeral. We had no stress and everyone especially the lovely Paul lead the way with great empathy and respect. Even my mum being in the Chapel was dealt with by staff showing great Empathy. I can't remember the staff members name who came in with me to see my mum Cynthia in Chapel but she was a lovely kind caring person who supported me in ensuring all our wishes in terms of items being placed on mum.
    The funeral was lovely and all arrangements do extremely professionally with full contact all the way through. My mum was 84 and always said she wanted her funeral with Lymns as you guys have managed other family members funeral, I totally understand now why mum was so adamant for Lymns to be the chosen funeral directors.
    Thankyou so much on behalf of all the Lynch family and again Paul was second to none in his role and we will be forever grateful. Thankyou xx

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dear Roz, thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. It has been a privilege for the whole of the Nottingham Team, Danielle and myself to look after you and all your family following the very sad loss of your deeply loved Mother, Grandma and Sister. Take care, kindest regards, Paul.

    I would like to say once again a big thank you to Paul  who has looked after 3 funerals recently sister,brother,mum for us. As you can imagine it’s been a very tiring,emotional,stressful time for us over the past 10 years through poor illnesses and being isolated from our loved ones.

Paul is a big asset to your company with great experience you must be proud to have him. Also a big thank you to the pallbearers, drivers and all the administration team.

  • 5 Christine Duffy 11th Feb 2022

    What can I say… from the initial phone call that’s when the care and support started.
