Lymn's were absolutely excellent from the start of the funeral planning to the end of the funeral. Always there to answer questions and make any changes requested. I would particularly like to thank Laura Macguire for all her support and work arranging everything. A very professional team of people.
Derek Hammond27th Jan 2024
Excellent service from first contact. Everything was taken care of. Caring for the deceased to the funeral, advising on order of service and printing of them, AW Lymn took all this off our shoulders really excellent service first class.
Sarah Burton15th Jan 2024
I highly recommend A W Lymn. My father recently passed away and we had initial meeting with Laura, Laura was lovely and really helped us relax, explained everything very clearly. We were also able to get dates booked during our initial meeting which really helped us prepare for the planning the funeral. Louise was also extremely helpful and attended on the day of the funeral. Laura was great with communication and helped compile the Order of Service.
Only thing I would say is that the crematorium details were missed off the Order of Service, which we didn't notice, it would of helped all attendees if this information had been included, having said that, we managed to communicate this to family and friends.
Thank you so much to all who helped us in giving our Dad a great send off.
A.W. Lymn's Long Eaton office is located at Lime Grove in Long Eaton, which is in peaceful surroundings inside the cemetery gates at West Park.
The site was purchased from Dick Webb funeral service in 1981 and opened as an A. W. Lymn funeral home in June 1982.
The building was the local public mortuary and features an unusual copper roof. As well as a large reception area, the premises features family rooms, visiting rooms, funeral cars from A.W. Lymn's fleet and parking on the outside, and it was completely refurbished in 2013.
The funeral home is run by funeral director Louise Bramman and is open Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm. If you need assistance or to meet with a funeral director after hours please call the telephone number, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The branch covers all of Long Eaton and its surrounding area including Breaston, Castle Donington, Chilwell, Draycott, Hathern, Kegworth, Sawley, Sutton Bonnington, Toton and beyond.
Nigel Lymn Rose, along with his sister Jackie and his son Matthew, manages A. W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, ensuring all families receive excellent care at all times.

AW Lymn from Long Eaton provided a truly wonderful service at this difficult time. Compassionate, caring, totally professional, nothing was an issue in any way. They treated my wife Karen with beautiful dignity and arranged a first class celebrant , Malcolm, to make the funeral a true celebration. Laura at the base was so helpful and caring, and Louise and the team on the day were exemplary as well as friendly.
Thank you for making this as good as it could possibly be.

5Claire Button25th Apr 2023
A.W.Lymn provided excellent customer service throughout the whole time I dealt with them: from collecting my mother from the hospital through to the end of the service. Their staff were sympathetic, understanding, approachable and very accommodating, especially considering I had to do all the arrangements from a 100+ mile distance. Whilst there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, the visible face of A.W.Lymn at the funeral was professional and discrete but friendly and efficient. Having an in-house civil celebrant made those arrangements much easier than they could have been otherwise. Richard was approachable, personable and very thorough in his research, delivering a very fitting tribute. Everyone who attended the funeral commented on what a super send off we had given my mother, and that was thanks to the staff at A.W.Lymn.
A.W. Lymn, Long Eaton Team replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review. I am glad that the team behind the scenes arranged everything as you wished and that all went well when I was with you on the day. Louise.

5Alan Wood25th Mar 2023
A.W.Lymn were very professional, very understanding and very supportive whilst guiding us through a difficult time. They managed the creation and printing of the Order of Service booklets, that looked very nice and guided us through the service. The obituary web service was a useful tool to provide easy access to funeral information, a mechanism to make charitable donations and a nice way to leave messages of sympathy. The Celebrant, provided by A.W.Lymn, gently guided us through creating input for the service and was always available for any questions we might have. The service delivered by the Celebrant, was very professional and dignified. On the day, the staff transporting the coffin and immediate family to the crematorium were impeccably dressed and looked after us all the way. The cars looked incredible and all in all A.W.Lymn helped us provide a fitting tribute to our departed mother.
A.W. Lymn, Long Eaton Team replied
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words. I’m so glad we were able to provide you with a such a high level of service for saying goodbye to Jill. – Laura
5Russ Smith4th Mar 2023
The arrangements were perfect and the professionalism provide by Laura was exceptional. She listened to everything that we wanted to include in the service and delivered on all counts.
