Sylvia Batchelor 11th Mar 2026

I'm very pleased with everything. I'd like to add that Skye was very nice and approachable not once did I feel disappointed in the meeting I had with her. So a big thank you to Skye . The church service was so lovely it put a smile on my face when I saw the photo of Esmeda Brown on the screen that Skye had picked thank you once again.

Kenneth Thornton 10th Mar 2026

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 Skye Parton-Buckeridge.

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 Sara Lewis 8th Dec 2025

    I had used A W Lymn in Arnold for my sons funeral and they couldn't be faulted so I decided to use A W Lymn in Wollaton for my mum. I appreciate their compassion and patience in helping me navigate through a difficult process. Kirby was so sweet and always assuring me if I had any doubts. Some people are well suited to what they do and you will find at A W Lymn, there's an abundance of them.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Sara, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm pleased I could help steer you through this really difficult time. What a lovely send off we gave to your Mum... it's certainly the most special taxi ride I've ever had! Sending love and best wishes to you, Kirby

  • 3 Michelle Sanderson 18th Nov 2025

    I am sorry I have to mark this experience as average but feel I have no choice because of a few very important mishaps, firstly we were unable to have the coffin we chose as it got damaged when being delivered, I am very surprised this wasn't organised a lot better as there was more than enough time from us going in to chose everything? We were offered a much cheaper coffin at a good reduction but it looked very cheap so we went with another one nearer the price we had chosen and was offered a much less reduction which was very odd.
    The viewing was very disappointing with at least 4 points of low standards that I feel would be wrong of me to go in to detail about in this review as it wouldn't be appropriate but would be will to speak to someone from Lymns about.
    Had it not been for these important issues it would have got a much higher score

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Michelle, thank you for giving us the time to investigate your concerns and for the time we spent on the telephone to discuss at length. I hope our findings give you some reassurance and my actions have gone some way to resolving things for you. Thank you once again for accepting my heartfelt apology on behalf of the A. W. Lymn team. Kindest regards, Kirby - Senior Funeral Director
  • 5 Grace Gan 25th Oct 2025

    All employees are extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. They are very patient and understanding of clients needs and always at hand to answer any questions.(Especially Skye and Kirby)
    Funeral was very dignified and worked like clockwork due to Lymm's efficiency.
    Would recommend to everyone without hesitation

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you so much for your lovely words. It was a privilege to help and support you during such an important time. Sending our very best wishes to yourself and Mum.

  • 5 Georgia Baker 20th Oct 2025

    Me and my partner are extremely grateful for Kirby at Lymns Wollaton for helping us arrange a beautiful service for our little girl Wren. We knew from first meeting her that we made the right decision to choose Lymns. She was supportive and comforting all throughout arrangement plans and on the day our little girls service. We can’t thank Kirby enough for everything she’s done and the support she’s provided during what has been the most difficult time in our lives. 

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Georgia and Connor, thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for allowing me to take care of your beautiful little Wren. The overwhelming love you have for your baby girl made her service so very special. I will treasure my Wren brooch for always. Sending love to you both from the "Geezer", Kirby x
