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.
Many families praise the care and compassion shown by staff throughout the funeral arrangements and on the day itself, describing how the team guided them through a difficult process with patience and understanding. Numerous families mention clear communication and attention to detail, noting that staff kept them informed at each stage and made sure their wishes and any changes to plans were handled smoothly without fuss.

A.W. Lymn Wollaton branch has provided a excellent service to us. They were very welcoming and became part of our family, sharing our feelings and thoughts. Kirby went out of her way to ensure all our late fathers wishes were met. The staff looked after our tiniest needs and requests.

Thank you very much Kirby and Team.

A W Lymn handled our mother's funeral with complete professionalism and courtesy. The ever helpful Kirby at the Wollaton office was extremely organised and efficient, taking all our requests (and changes of mind) in her stride. We felt the service went off perfectly and was a fitting tribute to our mother.

A W Lymn's service was in every way excellent nothing was too much trouble and they did everything in their power to make a difficult situation as comfortable and easy as possible. I would certainly recommend their services to anybody in the future. They might not be the cheapest funeral service but they are certainly the best.

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
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are truly grateful to you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. When someone has taken the time to consider their plans so specifically it is vitally important that these are followed and we are glad that we were able to do this for you. We are further glad the the online facility proved useful during these challenging COVID times. Thank you again.

From beginning to end the service was impeccable. Kirby treated us with kindness and respect and her knowledge was invaluable.

I send my upmost thanks to everyone concerned.

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.
