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 praise the care and compassion shown by staff throughout the planning process, noting that arranging a funeral is made less stressful when they feel genuinely listened to and supported at their own pace. Several describe how particular members of the team—especially those they worked with during planning—provided not just professional guidance but emotional reassurance during one of the most difficult times they have faced.
Families frequently comment on how smoothly the funeral day itself went, highlighting the professionalism and dignity with which the service was conducted, the attention paid to every detail they had requested, and the discreet but attentive presence of staff during the ceremony itself.
Communication throughout the process is mentioned often, with families appreciating regular updates, clear explanations of their options, and staff who were readily available to answer questions and make adjustments to arrangements as needed.

I cannot praise the staff enough at Lymns (ROT). Huge shout out to Jane - she made me feel so comfortable and at ease in such a sad situation. I was guided through the entire process with politeness & professionalism from start to finish, resulting in the perfect funeral for a cherished family member.
I can’t thank them enough & would certainly recommend them wholeheartedly.

A.W.Lymn Radcliffe, were extremley professional and tremendously supportive from the moment I contacted them, they helped me to make the appropriate choices for the cremation service and recommended a celebrant to present the Eulogy of my husbands life. Rebecca White presented a very professional and caring Eulogy and A.W.Lymn carried out my wishes completely.
A very big thank you to Jane and Rebecca for their support and professionalism throughout the journey, it was much appreciated.
Kind Regards

How much was raised for Arthritis research?
All the staff were brilliant, very polite and friendly.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your positive review, we are pleased that you found the team at Radcliffe to be polite and friendly. I have forwarded your comment onto the team at Radcliffe and asked them to get in touch to let you know the current total for the donations. Our usual practice is to advise clients of the final total of donations received a month following the date of the funeral when they are sent to the charity on your behalf, this is because it is not uncommon for us to receive additional amounts during this time. I am sorry if this was not made clear to you at the time of making the arrangements but are glad that you found the rest of the service to be brilliant. Thank you.
