Tracey was so helpful with all of the arrangements and kept us fully up to date with what was going to happen. Thank you!

Susan Drew 19th Jan 2020

The only thing I could comment on is that the pall bearers were different heights which made it look a little awkward. Other than that everything was perfect and could not have gone any better.

John Parkes 6th Jan 2020

All round a very professional job. We were a bit disappointed that there was a cost to visit my father prior to the funeral, but as it turned out my sisters and mother didn't want to visit in the end. Please pass the families thanks to Tracey and especially Richard Marshall for the excellent eulogy he performed at the service.

About Us

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.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are grateful to you for taking the time to leave this positive review and are glad that most parts of the service we provided were perfect. We are sometimes unable to coordinate a team of pall bearers of the same height and we are sorry that on this occasion it resulted in things looking a little awkward, but we thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will try our best to prevent this happening to other families in the future.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for your positive review and in particularly your kind words about the service provided by Tracey and Richard. We are sorry that you felt a little disappointed about the additional amount we charge to visit a loved one before the funeral, but our reason for this is that we do not want families to pay for services that they do not require so rather than pricing our funerals as packages we only charge for each element that is selected and do not charge for any that are not required. I hope this helps to clarify the matter and thank you for giving us the opportunity to explain.

    All the staff have been very attentive, and professional at all times. Everything they did was checked by us before they did it so we knew what was happening, what would be said and how things would work on the day. Tracey really looked after us and Terry and Richard gave a good service which everyone has said they really enjoyed. Julia did an amazing job on the day of directing and coordinating the funeral.

  • 5 Gail Hind 4th Sep 2019

    We had excellent service from A W Lymn for our mums funeral, everything went smoothly from beginning to end. All of the staff we dealt with were compassionate and caring and nothing was too much trouble. We had used A W Lymn for our fathers funeral 15 years ago so they were the obvious choice for mum.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Gail for this lovely review. We are glad you felt that nothing was too much trouble as we always try our best to make sure this is the case. You should also thank yourself for giving your mother the send-off she deserved. Tina.
  • 5 Caroline Thomas 26th Aug 2019

    hold of but thanks to the determinaof
    Tina it was found.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are glad that both Tracey and Tina looked after really well during this sad time and that Tina was able to get the specific piece of music organised for you. Thank you also for taking the time to leave this review.
  • 5 Jane Phillips 7th Aug 2019

    Outstanding service by Lymms. Initial visit to Lesley at Long Eaton (before my Uncle had passed) made me feel that we were in safe hands.  Later visit by Jane to our home to run through everything with lots of advice and guidance. We then transferred all the arrangements to Tracy at Stapleford to “fine tune” everything.  A really handy tip by Tracey to take the Coffin Flowers to the Wake, then when everyone left they took small sprays/bouquets with them. A wonderful thought which went down so well with all the Guests.  The British Legion was involved and we also had a Piper and Vintage Singer - Lymms were able to able to accommodate and work with everything we asked for.
    I cannot fault the service we received in every aspect. Thank you to the whole Team at Lynms.  Jane Phillips

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review. We are glad that every member of staff you dealt with left you feeling like the arrangements were in safe hand. Thank you also for sharing the tip with regards to the flowers as it is the small touches such as these which can make all the difference at the time of the service.

  • 5 Jane Bland 29th Jan 2019

    They have been amazing through out at such a sad time for our family. Mathew was so helpful when I first called and guided us every step of the way. Tracey at Stapleford is the most amazing lady, compassionate throughout and treated grandma with respect, she made sure she looked beautiful whilst in the chapel of rest for us. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did. Nick Sharpe who led our service of Celebration also did with such compassion and took into account all of our concerns to make sure it was perfect. Thank you so much 😊 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    It was my pleasure to be given the opportunity to look after you and your family and I am so glad you felt happy with the care I’d given both to Lydia and yourselves as a family. I will also forward your kind words to Nick so he can see how much you appreciated his help. Thank you, Tracey.
