Opened on 19th April 2021 Half Crown House on Derby Road is run by funeral arranger Tracey Sweeting-Rowe.
The new funeral home was originally an old bank and was ideal ‘blank canvas’ for a funeral home. It is now fully equipped with two chapels, onsite car park and an extended mortuary. The move follows the need for more space and easy customer access.
The fifth-generation family business first arrived in Stapleford in 2003 as part of the group purchase of the Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Group, taking over six funeral homes. Previously located at Parker House on Church Street, the company has since gone above and beyond to help local families through every step of the funeral process, offering support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The office is open Monday to Friday, from 9.00am to 5.00pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm, but can be opened after office hours by appointment or you can speak with a funeral director 24 hours a day by calling the telephone number.
The branch serves all of Stapleford and its surrounding area including Bramcote, Chilwell, Sandiacre, Trowell and further afield.
Nigel Lymn Rose, former president of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), along with his sister Jackie and son Matthew, manage A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service.

5Janine Weir17th Jun 2024
I was extremely happy that I decided on Lymn's to do the funeral of my younger brother. Tracey was extremely helpful and compassionate from the day I telephoned and when I went in to discuss all the arrangements. The celebrant Mark was also very compassionate and did a great job reading out Lee's eulogy, and going above and beyond asking if there was anything he could wear that would tie in with Lee. I mentioned that all the men were wearing Adidas trainers, as a memory of Lee, so he asked if he could wear them with his suit too along with a tie pin. Donna was the funeral director for the day and telephoned me in the morning to introduce herself and to make sure I was aware of everything that was going to be happening on the day, and if I needed anything. I can't thank you all enough for all your support during this difficult time, and giving Lee the send off he deserved ❤️
A.W. Lymn, Stapleford Team replied
Janine, It was my pleasure to look after the arrangements for Lee and I’m very pleased that you felt everything went smoothly for your brother and that all our team looked after you well. Thank you again Tracey

5Alan Clarke30th Apr 2024
Tracey, Nigel and his team on the day, made it go as smoothly as possible.
Tracey was fantastic in helping us with the details and the process of organising something like this at a difficult time.
The service provided was excellent and I would recommend the team at Stapleford.
Thank you Alan, Jack and George
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Alan. Thank you for your kind review and in particular for the nice comments about Tracey and myself and the team on the day. It really is sad when called upon to oversee a funeral of someone so young. It was however a privilege to be involved and it was lovely that so many hundreds of people attended and that you were allowed to have personal music and that you and Jack and George were able to make such precious comments in your eulogies. I am pleased that the crematorium was able to accommodate our change in time of arrival. Again thank you. Nigel
