About Us
Fred Beeson established a funeral service in Radcliffe on Trent in 1937 and moved to a purpose built funeral home in 1961. The business was incorporated into the A W Lymn group in 1994 and still remains at the same location. The premises underwent a major refurbishment in 2020.
The funeral home is run by Funeral Director Gary Cooke and Funeral Arranger Emma Hutton, who will be able to assist you Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays, from 9 am to 12.30 pm. If you need assistance outside of office hours then please call the telephone number at any time.
The funeral home covers Radcliffe and all its surrounding areas, including Barnstone, Bingham, Caythorpe, Colston Bassett, Cotgrave, Cropwell Bishop, Cropwell Butler, East Bridgford, Granby, Gunthorpe, Harby, Hickling, Kinoulton, Langar, Long Clawson, Lowdham, Owthorpe, Plungar, Shelford, Tythby, Upper Saxondale and further afield.
The Rose family has a connection with Radcliffe dating over 100 years. A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service is currently run by Nigel, Matthew and Jackie Lymn Rose.
Many families emphasise the care and compassion shown throughout their contact with the funeral director, describing staff as patient, kind, and attentive to their emotional needs during an overwhelming time. Several mention that arrangements were conducted without pressure, at their own pace, and that staff were always available to answer questions and offer support in a genuine, human way.
Families frequently comment on how smoothly the funeral day itself proceeded, noting that everything was well-organised, professionally managed, and carried out with dignity and respect. Many describe feeling reassured by clear communication in the lead-up to the service and by staff who remained discreet yet helpful on the day itself.
A number of reviews note that communication was particularly valued, with families appreciating regular updates, thorough explanations of the process, and the sense that nothing was too much trouble, even when special requests or last-minute changes were needed.

5Pamela Garton17th Mar 2026
From my very first phone call contact everything was dealt with efficiently and with compassion. At every step nothing was too much trouble for them. They dealt with my queries straight away. Emma was outstanding. She always had the time to talk and sometimes became a “counsellor”. Her understanding of what I was feeling was so comforting. The ladies who arranged the floral Roundel tribute were so kind too. The day of the funeral was carried out with great respect. Thank you to everyone who was involved.

The floral tribute was the perfect fit and even though Tony’s chipmunk plane was unable to do the fly by due to the true British weather, it was present in the picture of him with it. Kindest regards Emma, Gary and the team.

The whole process was excellent, from the moment when I contacted them upon the death of my wife to the arrangements for the funeral. All involved were sympathetic and helpful, guiding me through everything that I needed to do, so making things much easier than I expected. They kept in touch at all times so I knew what was happening and when.
The funeral itself was emotional but it was carried out with professionalism and dignity.
