Although the death of my soul mate , my husband was unexpected and I had to deal with the funeral, my first I could not have wished for the most friendly and caring staff, Tracey and Richard from Stapleford. Tracey was so friendly and helpful I felt I had known her my whole life. Richard made planning the event easier than it should have been. My husband had the most amazing send off we could have given him. Andy the celebrant gave us a brilliant definitely Mick tribute.
Mick was the most amazing husband and all the staff that looked after him and his funeral gave him the best we could. I wish we did not have to have a funeral and that he was still here but we could not have asked for a better service. Thanks for your care

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.

Care and attention to detail was second to none. The staff were professional caring and supportive and looked after us through our difficult day. Tracey Sweeting-Roe looked after everything for us and went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after and our feelings protected at every turn and for that I cannot thank her enough. A special thank you to Robert our driver who made myself and my family feel comforted and looked after from the start and his warm infectious smile made our day. Other family members also commented that the other drivers were exceptional but I'm sorry I don't have their names. All in all mum and the family were looked after with dignity and warmth from start to finish. Thank you all so much.

5Joanne Draycott7th Feb 2017
Cannot speak highly enough of the service we received in arranging the funeral and on the day of it. Tracey could not have gone out of her way any more than she did for us. There were 2 obscure songs that we wanted and she went to so much trouble to find them for us. Her manner is kind and soft, at no time did she rush us or make us feel nuisances. She kept us informed all the way through, one day she couldn't get hold of me and rang me from home that evening. Tracey is one person that is definitely in the right job.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this very kind and detailed review of the service provided by Tracey at this sad time. We are glad that she was able to find the particular pieces of music for you and that she made you feel so at ease.

From our first contact with AW Lymn (Stapleford) we felt completely supported. We were guided through what is a very difficult process with care and consideration and we were always given clear and honest answers to any questions. We could not have wished for a better level of service on the day of the funeral. We would recommend AW Lymn (Stapleford) without reservation.
