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.

We can't thank everyone involved with my mum's funeral enough, they were helpful, kind and considerate. The funeral was as exactly how we wanted it to be! Thank you.

Tracey was so helpful and supportive in helping me plan my husband's funeral. I've never had to do anything like this before and she was there for me every step of the way.

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 😊
