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.

  • 5 Salvatore Chibbaro 16th Jun 2024

    We just want to say a huge thank-you to Kirby and her team. We were thankful that Kirby was our funeral organiser as originally this was not the case. We felt fortunate to have her guide us through the logistics of organising our dads funeral at what was and is an extremely difficult time. She patiently and compassionately listened to our requirements and was committed to ensuring the day was as just as we wanted it even when there were complications with the cathedral. As such her attention to detail and knowledge of us as a family and professionalism meant the day of the funeral was the best send off we could have given our dad. Thank-you for your compassion and your support was a God send and we truly feel it was fate Kirby was sent to us after our dad died. Additionally after the funeral, when we contacted Kirby with a request for my mum, she went above and beyond to fulfil this too. Thank-you Kirby for being there for us as a family... words cannot express our gratitude. We would whole-heartedly recommend A.W. Lymn Wollaton.
    Kind regards,
    Salvatore Chibbaro and family.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Sav, thank you so much for your lovely words and praise. It was a privilege to take care of you and your family and I think together we made Dad’s day really special. I was honoured to be invited into your family home to help make memories on Mum’s birthday by releasing two doves and I hope this helped ease the sadness just a little. Sending my love and best wishes to all the Chibbaros, Kirby x

    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

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you Wayne for this review. It was an honour to arrange your mother's funeral and hear the stories of her life and travels in America. Again we profusely apologise for the misspelling initially but I'm glad this was spotted quickly before moving on with the arrangements.
