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.

Really friendly and helpful in the planning with everything going really smoothly on the day. We were made to feel at ease and comfortable with the whole process. Would highly recommend them.

Thank you for your recommendation and your kind words. We are pleased that Lindsay was able to plan for May to have a final trip through Gunthorpe before travelling past her neighbours so they could pay their respects as they were unable to attend the service.

5Penny Richardson18th Mar 2020
Lindsay at Lymns in Radcliffe on Trent was brilliant. She took me on a journey of what happens now and next and on the day of my father's funeral. She explained how other people in the process worked and what they did. She spent time talking to me about the services they offer and was able to make the links with local people like the church and the priest. On the day, Jane was the Funeral Director. She and her team were so discrete but very helpful. They made sure that I understood what was happening, what I should do and what my family should. Knowing what to expect was really helpful. Above all they treated my Dad with respect and were kind and sensitive to everyone who gathered to say goodbye to him.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind words Penny you did you dad proud in making sure that he had his wishes even the weather stopped raining and the sun shone on the day. (The wellies didnât need to come out.) The Photos you had chosen for the order of service reflected on what lovely family times you had with two amazing parents. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Lindsay.

4Sally Patnick28th Jan 2020
Jane keetly was a very helpful & supportive lady. We felt very comforted & directed by her, she is a huge asset to you. Unfortunately she was unwell,so could not attend the funeral. Although her replacement was pleasant, there was little connection between us for quite a delicate time & I was slightly upset that she started to walk in front of the Hurst which I had specifically ask not to be done.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are grateful to you for taking the time to leave this review and in particular for your kind words regarding the comfort and support given by Jane. It was however most unfortunate that due to Janeâs unexpected illness you had not previously met the lady who came in her place to oversee the funeral and although you found her pleasant we are sorry that you felt there was little connection and that there was some misunderstanding when you thought that she was going to page the funeral. Thank you for your kind appraisal and for bringing these matters to our attention.
5Andrew Herrick28th Jan 2020

5Sheila Laxton10th Oct 2019
Excellent service, Jane especially made this very difficult time so much more more bearable taking all the pressure off my Mother and myself. She showed genuine care and support.
We decided to have two services the main burial funeral service being held in Radcliffe on Trent and also a memorial service held in my Father’s hometown of Burton upon Trent for elderly family and friends unable to travel. Jane made contact with the vicar in Burton and arranged the memorial service.
My Father was very passionate about choral music and Jane went out of her way to try and find a choir for both services. This turned out to be impossible but we really appreciate all the effort she went to.
The order of service, headstone, flowers, cars etc were provided at the highest of standards.
I would highly recommend Jane and all her team at Lymns for their care and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you for everything.
Sheila & Stella
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this detailed and very kind review about the service provided by the team at Radcliffe and Jane in particular. It is good to hear that she went to such great lengths to help locate the music for you and we are only sorry that she was not able to achieve this in the end. We are also glad that your specific requirements regarding the two services were followed and that everything on the day was carried out to the highest standard. Thank you.

Jane. Thank you for your very kind review. Roy was a true gentleman, always caring, and with his concern for others always ahead of any thoughts of himself. I had known him for many years and it was therefore very personal when you asked for us to provide this service. I am only pleased that what we did proved helpful to you and your daughters. Thank you.
