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

    Firstly, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and the professional service you provided to the Whitely family during this difficult time.

  • 5 Glenda Bowbanks 1st Jul 2025

    So happy with Skye, Wollaton Rd Branch. Skye went above and beyond my expectations. Skye arranged for Bow to come home the night before, and tried really hard to make him presentable, unfortunately too much time had passed, which she explained with compassionate care, even getting a set of Bows finger prints. Bows funeral was just perfect, The order of service brochure were exceptional, she arranged for us to have a video of Bow singing and a slideshow of photos played throughout the service. The hurst drivers were so kind and considerate. Thank you all our family are so grateful to you xx

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you so much for your lovely words Glenda. It was an absolute honour to look after Bow and to help you, Robyn, and Julie through such a difficult time.
    I know how much it meant to you all to have him home the night before, and I’m really glad we could make that happen, even if time wasn’t entirely on our side. I’m also so touched to hear how much you liked the order of service and the slideshow. You all did him proud, and it was a privilege to help bring those memories together.
    Sending lots of love to you, Robyn, and Julie and thank you again for trusting me with such an important day.
    Take care x

  • 5 Kerry Pashley 2nd Jun 2025

    We were treated with respect, dignity and care from the moment we made contact with Skye at Lymns in Wollaton to the last moment that we were dropped off by Kirby after the funeral. Everything was explained to us and there were a few little extra things that we weren't expecting, like the memory book...we would definitely use them again if we find ourselves in this position in the future. Many thanks to the whole team.
