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 Anne Eley 26th Aug 2021

    My family and I would like to thank A W Lymn (Robin Hood Street, Nottingham) and in particular Paul Richardson for the excellent service we received in arranging and carrying out the funeral of our Mum.  Paul was always professional, but at the same time extremely understanding of the emotions that we were all experiencing at such a very sad time.  He was always available if we had any queries or concerns and dealt with these speedily, whilst reassuring us that all aspects of the funeral would run smoothly under his personal guidance.  On the day of the funeral no problems were encountered and we thank everyone involved for their kindness, empathy and efficiency.

    Jeannie. I was so sad when I was informed of the sudden death of Norman. I was however honoured and privileged to be asked to oversee his funeral. It was an accolade to Norman that so many were in attendance that some could not go into the Church, but fortunately the sun shone on the day and the service and tributes to him must have made you feel so proud on such a sad day. Thank you for publicly relaying your thanks to my colleague Paul, myself and indeed all the team at our family company. Nigel Lymn Rose, Chairman

    Thank you Lymns for the assistance given to us over this sad time of losing Joe.

Malcolm Barham was a fantastic celebrant and our thanks to him, also the flowers provided were beautiful. Once again we really appreciated what was done for us and "thank you" is not enough. Our best regards, Marilyn, Ian and Claire

    We are very grateful to you for taking the time to leave this kind review, and in particular the praise given to Kevin's considerate and helpful nature. We are also glad that Malcolm was able to capture the essence of Mr Gilbert in his eulogy and I have forwarded your review onto him so that he can see your praise himself. Thank you.
