Thank you to everyone at Lymns , especially Deanna and Philip for your kindness and compassion at such a heartbreaking time. The service we received from start to finish was outstanding. We are truly grateful and will never forget, thank you . 

Kelly Throssell 6th Dec 2024

Luke Mellor at A.W. Lymm provided 5* care and attention at a time that was difficult for my Dad. From start to finish the service we received was second to none with every little detail checked and checked again. They gave the best send off we could have wanted for my Dads dearly loved wife.

About Us

Although A W Lymn's head office moved to Robin Hood House on Robin Hood Street in 1977, many people in the area still refer to this office as "Lymn's on Bath Street".

The head office, built by fourth generation George Rose in the late 1970's, has several in-house funeral directors to help families with their funeral needs, and also houses most of the company's administration staff.

The funeral home is staffed by funeral directors Kevin Browne and Philip Wilson, funeral arranger Megans Rosier and Luke Mellor, and receptionist Lucinda Pallett.

The opening times are Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. Staff are also available to meet with you after office hours. Please call the telephone number at any time to arrange a convenient appointment.

Besides the administration and reception area, the premises have a coffin showroom, family rooms, visiting rooms, cold room facilities, a full fleet of hearses and limousines, a vintage fleet, stone masonry services and a florist.

A.W. Lymn's head office serves all of Nottingham city centre and its surrounding areas including Bobbers Mill, Colwick, Hyson Green, Mapperley, Radford, Sherwood, Sneinton, St. Ann's, The Meadows and beyond.

A W Lymn is owned and managed by the Lymn Rose family. Nigel Lymn Rose, one of the company's directors, was president of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) during its centenary year in 2005.

    I recently had the privilege of dealing with A W Lymn Family Funeral Service during a challenging time, and I cannot express enough gratitude for their exceptional care and professionalism. From the moment we reached out, the staff demonstrated genuine compassion and understanding, guiding us through every step of the process with sensitivity and respect.

    The attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that every aspect of the service reflected our loved one’s personality and wishes. The team took the time to listen to our needs and provided invaluable support, making a difficult experience more bearable.

    A W Lymn’s commitment to excellence is evident in everything they do. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral care. They truly honour the lives of those they serve, making a lasting impact during a time of grief.

  • 5 Lynne Crooks 15th Jul 2024

    Excellent professional service, nothing was too much trouble.  Philip who took care of my dad’s funeral was brilliant! He did everything we asked of him on time and with the upmost respect for my dad and my family. He was very approachable and had a great understanding personality which put us all at ease at a very difficult time.
    Philip had dealt with my mum’s funeral just a few months ago and we asked for him specifically to take care of my dad as he had been so good previously.

    The floral tribute Fiona created was beautiful,  exactly what we had asked for, she was more than happy for us to provide greenery from where my dad fished and she incorporated them into the display brilliantly! 

    I would highly recommend A W Lymn Nottingham. 

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Lynne, thank you for your kind words.
    It was truly an honour helping organise dad’s service, along with getting to know your lovely family even more.
    Wishing you, Paul, Jill  & all the family the very best for the future. Philip.
