Julia and Nicola were professional and very welcoming and explained everything fully, they were there for a shoulder to cry on and a coffee and a chat, they looked after my dad wit ... h respect and compassion and very grateful. The day of the Funeral Julia and staff were attentive to our needs and was always there to help in anyway possible to get us through the day, with a reassuring touch or to guide us through. Thank you so much for everything more

About Us
In 2003, the Cotmanhay branch joined A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service. Before then, it was the headquarters of the Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Service, which opened in 1979.
Bennerley House, the beautiful building where the funeral home is located, originally belonged to a local carpenters and includes a reception area, family rooms, visitation rooms, cold room facilities and garaging for part of our fleet of Rolls-Royce hearses and limousines.
Mick Schofield is the funeral director responsible for this office and is assisted by funeral director Nikki Anderson.
The opening times are from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday, but you can call at any time on the telephone number to arrange an appointment – you will then be able to arrange a meeting at your convenience.
The branch covers all of Cotmanhay and its surrounding area, including Awsworth, Cossall, Eastwood, Heanor, Langley Mill, Loscoe, Shipley, Smalley, Stanley, West Hallam and further afield.
A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service was founded in 1907 and is now managed by Nigel, Matthew and Jackie Lymn Rose.
