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.

    Thank you Pam, it was particularly difficult for you to deal with all the arrangements from overseas, I am pleased that the service and Richard Marshall’s input proved to be a fitting tribute to AJ

    Considering the reason for this event everything was fine. Timings were all pretty much to schedule and all was quite relaxed. I would personally wish to take this opportunity to thank all of Lymns staff particularly Kevin and 

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    It was both a pleasure and a privilege to assist you and your family in arranging this funeral and I am glad that travelling on the routemaster bus made for a very special farewell. Thank you, Kevin.
  • 5 Jill Gratton-Fisher 10th Oct 2021

    I cannot begin to explain the care, courtesy and professionalism of the team from AW Lymns, throughout the handling of my fathers funeral.

    Right from the initial planning stage, Paul Richardson was the consummate professional. On the day, the team lead by Rob Lippett were absolutely perfect. The vintage lorry made the day complete, my father having spent his whole career underneath lorries mending them. It was fitting that his final journey was on top of one.

    Paul even went to the trouble of including David Powell on the team. someone who I mentioned I had known nearly thirty years ago. To have a group of this calibre look after us made the day as near perfect as it could be, under the circumstances.

    Huge thanks to all involved.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dear Jill, thank you for taking the time for leaving such a lovely review. It has been a privilege for Rob, David and the whole of the Nottingham Team and myself to look after you and your Brother John and all the family following the very sad loss of your deeply loved Father. Kindest regards, Paul and the whole of the Nottingham Team.
  • 5 Carolyn Wright 8th Oct 2021

    My Mums funeral was a gentle celebration of her life , I couldn’t be happier with her wonderful send off
    Jacky was such a fantastic support with arranging all this and it was a great comfort to me that one of my friends was able to do this with me at such a delicate time.
    As expected , my other special friend , Nigel , conducted this for me and was with me all the way.
    Paul ,another dear friend, was our driver, which meant ,on the journey towards the crematorium, the atmosphere in the car was a lot more comfortable for us as my family were also familiar with him.
    I also would like to make a special heartfelt Thankyou to Paul as he went way beyond his duties. 
    Due to the fuel situation I was unable to take my car.
    At the end of the reception we found ourselves unable to get home 
    We were unable to obtain taxis , also because of the fuel shortage. 
    I called him after working hours and he came back out , in very miserable weather, to pick us up and take us home.
    If I was still an employee I would want to recommend him for employer of the month.
    I was also so happy to see that Matthew had chosen to help carry my beautiful, precious Mum in and with the support of himself and Nigel , this made Oliver feel a little more comforted.
    And last but not least , lovely Charis who pulled all the stops  out to help me design the beautiful service cards. These were only ordered right at the very last minute.
    She is a credit to your company and is certainly in the correct profession .

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Carolyn,
    thank you for taking the time and trouble to give such a long appraisal of the service we provided for your mother, Maureen. I appreciate that your comments are not necessarily wholly independent having had the long relationship that you have with both my family and our family company. We understnad how difficult things have been for you during lockdown and having lost both your parents in a relatively short period of time it has been extremely difficult. Nonetheless I thank you most sincerely on behalf of all your friends here at A W Lymn for the kind comments and we are grateful that we were able to help you at this most sad time. For the record I understand Paul's nomination has been received for employee of the month. Nigel

  • 5 Jonathan Holt 24th Sep 2021

    The first time the family has used A W Lymn. Without a doubt the most professional undertakers in Nottingham. The services they provided left mum completely supported every step of the way whilst organising dads funeral at this difficult time. Paul at their Nottingham branch was second to none in his manner and support at all times. I would undoubtedly recommend them to anybody having to go through the often traumatic process of remembering a loved one.
    Thanks again to A W Lymn Nottingham and especially Paul. Dad would have been proud!!

  • 5 Anne Eley 26th Aug 2021

    My family and I would like to thank A W Lymn (Robin Hood Street, Nottingham) and in particular Paul Richardson for the excellent service we received in arranging and carrying out the funeral of our Mum.  Paul was always professional, but at the same time extremely understanding of the emotions that we were all experiencing at such a very sad time.  He was always available if we had any queries or concerns and dealt with these speedily, whilst reassuring us that all aspects of the funeral would run smoothly under his personal guidance.  On the day of the funeral no problems were encountered and we thank everyone involved for their kindness, empathy and efficiency.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Jeannie. I was so sad when I was informed of the sudden death of Norman. I was however honoured and privileged to be asked to oversee his funeral. It was an accolade to Norman that so many were in attendance that some could not go into the Church, but fortunately the sun shone on the day and the service and tributes to him must have made you feel so proud on such a sad day. Thank you for publicly relaying your thanks to my colleague Paul, myself and indeed all the team at our family company. Nigel Lymn Rose, Chairman

    I cannot thank Jackie and her staff members for everything they did for us. My mums funeral went so well. I cannot thank the staff enough for the kindness they showed me whilst i sat with my mum the whole day before her funeral.
    Jackie went above and beyond what she needed to. that is why AW Lymns are the top of their game.
    Once again a massive thanks on behalf of all my family.
