We have only the very highest praise for Jane Keetley at Lymns of Wollaton and the rest of the team of bearers and drivers on the day. In particular, Jane's professional and sympathetic approach with the arrangements made the whole process that much easier for us as a family to deal with.We just couldn't have asked for a better service......we now know why Lymns have the best reputation...because they deserve it!

Diorin Elizabeth Allan 17th May 2017

Jane was fantastic, she put us at ease straight away and made us feel comfortable. This was the first time we had lost anyone close to us and Jane took us through the process step by step, she was professional and extremely friendly. We couldn't have wished for anyone better. We also dealt with another member of staff who was extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend Lymn's funeral directors and all of their staff.

Anothy Cordes 14th May 2017

All things were done professionally and with great awareness of the needs of the community. I would like particularly to thank Jane and Lara at the Wollaton office for their help and consideration and generosity shown towards the parish of St Thomas More at was a particularly sad time. With gratitude  Anthony Cordes

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.

    Thank you for your high praise. We obviously strive to be the best we can and to give the best service to each of the families that we serve but it is always wonderful to receive such positive feedback. I know that you have known Jane for some time but she has asked me to pass on her thanks for taking the time to leave such a kind review of her and her team.

    Unfortunately the flowers from the coffin were brought out a little late and hence some people missed seeing them. The service from Lymn's was still excellent!
