It was a great comfort to know that Lymns were on hand to guide me through all the things that were required so that everything ran like clockwork on the day.  I would certainly recommend their services.

Wayne Barnes 4th Mar 2024

Sky & Team did a tremendous job with the organization of my mother’s funeral. One hiccup that was swiftly address was a miss spell on the initial details of Mrs. Benson. With that said tremendous job by A.W. Lymn

Hilary Sutherland 27th Feb 2024

Their professional manner  and patience with changes to the Order of Service were exemplary. They accommodated everything we asked for in our preparations at such a difficult time.  Colum our celebrant led the service in a calm, reflective way,providing us with guidance throughout.

About Us

The Wollaton branch originally belonged to the Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Service before being incorporated into the A W Lymn group in 2003. The funeral home was formerly based on Arleston Drive in Wollaton, but was moved in late July 2014 to a purposed designed site on Wollaton Road called Deer Park House.

The new premises has off-street car parking and a beautiful visitation room with its own private waiting area.

The office was formerly a police station and features a large, bright, modern client reception, as well as state-of-the-art rooms.

The office is run by Funeral Director Kirby Cranshaw with the help of Funeral Arranger Sky O’Neill.

The funeral home is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. You can also make an appointment to see someone after hours via the telephone number.

The branch covers all of Wollaton and its surroundings including Bilborough, Bramcote, Nuthall, Strelley, Trowell, Watnall and beyond.

A.W.Lymn The Family Funeral Service is managed and owned by the Lymn Rose family. Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose are the directors of the company.
