Kirby and her team at A W Lynn wollaton were absolutely amazing from start to finish with all aspects of my father's funeral ,all our requests were met 100% from planning through to the day itself I can't recommend them and the other people involved enough, God bless you all thank you

Bruce Foster 17th Jan 2021

From the very first phone call I was confident I had chosen the right people to look after my dear wife and that proved to be the case. I had carefully planned what I wanted and Kirby and Julia made sure that everything was executed perfectly. A truly professional service delivered with care and empathy. The online obituary facility along with the online viewing of the service were used and appreciated by a large number of friends and family, truly excellent additions to the overall service provided. Thank you so much for helping to make such a sad day so memorable. Bruce Foster

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 Sylvia King 17th Nov 2020

    From beginning to end the service was impeccable. Kirby treated us with kindness and respect and her knowledge was invaluable. She recommended a lovely lady minister ( Kerry ) to lead the service because she thought  she would reflect my mum’s personality and beliefs and she was perfect. I send my upmost thanks to everyone concerned. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Sylvia for taking the time to leave your review. I am so pleased you felt the service delivered by Kerry was just right for Mum. I really appreciate your kind words and thanks. Best regards, Kirby
  • 5 Christine Jamieson 9th Nov 2020

    Kirby was professional in every way and carried out her duties perfectly.

    She was with me every step of the way on one of the saddest days of my life.

    She also showed great empathy and encouraged me every along the way and said she was proud of how I had read the poem and dealt with the pressure of the day.

    She is surely a cherished member of the team.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you so much Christine for your very kind words and for allowing me to support you through that difficult time. I hope you raised those sparklers to Auntie Wyn. Sending you my best wishes for your new chapter, Kirby.

  • 5 Jill Kelk 17th Oct 2020

    Our contact at the Wollaton Branch was extremely helpful and professional in arranging the funeral of my father, Harry, at Bramcote Crematorium.

We are extremely grateful for the help we received and would not hesitate to recommend Lymns to anyone looking for funeral services.

  • 5 Amanda Cliffe 10th Oct 2020

    Thank you so so much for making my dads final farewell so lovely.

    It was so important to me to make it perfect in every way possible for him and you made my wish achievable.

    You worked so hard with all my requests and most importantly of all, you looked after my precious dad for me whilst he was in your care. There is absolutely no one I would have rather taken care of him for me.

    All in all, you made organising my dads funeral as stress free as at all possible. You were so kind and knowledgeable about absolutely everything! You have been a real help to me throughout this whole horrendously sad time.

    You all achieved the farewell I wanted for my dad and delivered him so seamlessly to his final resting place.

    I will be eternally grateful to you all for coordinating this very important day for my dad and myself. It was so perfect.

    You are all true professionals thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Amanda, as you already know it really was a privilege to take care of your Dad and help make everything just right for his service. Although current restrictions tamed things slightly, you worked tirelessly to ensure Storming Norman got the perfect send off. Thank you for entrusting me with the arrangements and inviting me into your family to guide you through. Your kind words mean so much to me and I will cherish them. Sending you, Craig and the girls my warmest wishes, Kirby.
  • 5 Amanda Dring 3rd Oct 2020

    Thank you so much to Russell and Kirby, from Wollaton, for the organisation of my Father’s funeral. My family and  I have been overwhelmed by the compassion and professionalism shown to us during a very sad time. It was appreciated very much. Also, thank you to Malcolm, the celebrant, who spoke of my Father as if he knew of him personally. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    I am so pleased that all went well for you and the family and that the service we provided, including Malcolm Barham the celebrant, was all professional and compassionate. Thank you for your kind words. Russ.

    Dear Jean & John, thank you for taking the time to leave your review and for your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you both and help you through the arrangements for Maurice. I’m pleased we could help Aunty Daisy attend and hope it was of some comfort to her. Best wishes to you both, kindest regards, Kirby.
  • 5 Jane Bartrop 18th Aug 2020

    I felt very comfortable discussing issues and raising any questions with Kirby at the Wollaton Office. Her manner was lovely. When she was not there her colleagues also provided an excellent service. The opportunity to have the service streamed and then a recording on the obituary page were much appreciated. The Covid safety measures were good.
    It was very much appreciated that Nigel found time to be there for us at the chapel.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Jane. Thank you for your very kind and complimentary review of our family company and in particular the support given by Kirby at Wollaton. Your father being my personal tutor at school over 50 years ago very much played a part in my formative years and for that I am very grateful to all your family, and it was a privilege to be able to assist at mother’s funeral. Thank you.
  • 4 Catherine Eyre 16th Aug 2020
