We have only the highest regard for Kirby and Jack.
Although a relatively young team, their wealth of knowledge and professionalism was evident at all times.
As a family, we could not have wished for a better service at our time of need.

Very professional and caring. Lymns carried out the whole ceremony exactly how our mother would have wanted. Great attention to detail and understood our wishes exactly. Thank you so much to Jack, Kirby and the team at the Wollaton branch.
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.

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. We are so thankful that even in death our beautiful mum was given the best care. A further thank you to Nick Sharp the layman who gave my mum a wonderful send off. He was both dignified and uplifting, capturing the very essence of a wife, mother and Nannie.

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
A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
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

A W Lymn handled our mother's funeral with complete professionalism and courtesy.

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.
