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.
Very professional from start to the end, everything taken care of to lessen the worries

At a difficult time Mick and his colleagues made us feel at ease. Their professionalism and experience was invaluable to us. From collecting my dad's body to dressing and presenting him for us to view was faultless. Their support on the day of the funeral was invaluable and I cannot recommend their service enough. Courteous and respectful from start to finish. Thank you.

Mick was fantastic at such a difficult time, nothing was too much trouble with arrangements and every detail attended to in a caring and professional manner and my Dad was treated with dignity. Unfortunately due the funeral having to be postponed due to my mothers illness, Mick was unable to oversee the event on the day, however he arranged for a colleague from A W Lymn in Carlton to lead the funeral. Mark Ridout from Carlton was caring and attentive making the day run smoothly. This was my first experience with making funeral arrangements and I will definitely use A W Lymn again when the need arises.
