Excellent service from initial contact to day of my father's cremation.
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 Sky O’Neill.
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.

5Roger Holwell23rd Sep 2021
We recently entrusted my Wife's funeral and cremation to Lymns and they handled all the arrangements faultlessly. We were met by the Wollaton Branch Director, Kirby, who expertly helped us to plan out a fitting celebration of my Wife's life, on a non-religious basis which we required, guiding us through every possible aspect and proceedure, to provide exactly what we wanted to achieve. The Celebrant who they recommended, Richard, planned and conducted the proceedings excellently. Our gathering of about 40 Relatives and Friends felt that they had said "good bye" to my Wife in the most memorable way. Well done and thank you, Lymns.
A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
Thank you Mr. Holwell for taking time to leave your lovely review. Your kind words are very much appreciated. I am so pleased we could, together, create Rita’s celebration of life just as you wanted. It was a privilege to take care of you all. Best wishes, Kirby.

Both Kirby and Jack were wonderful. They guided the family through such a difficult time. They provided a first class service, showing true professionalism, care and dedication throughout.

5Collette Shanahan2nd Apr 2021
Very professional service. The lead for the coffin were very respectful walking in front of the coffin, quite old school with a top hat a walking stick which is the type of thing we wanted without really knowing it. The hearse was very prestigious without the price tag one would expect so I was very pleased my mum went out in style

Thank you Collette for taking the time to leave a lovely review. At A. W. Lymn we take pride in still offering these respectful traditions and I’m pleased that this helped add to Mum’s special service. Kind regards, Kirby
