It was very daunting arranging a funeral during these Covid restrictions. Paul was brilliant helping me each step of the way. Mum’s funeral was lovely. Thank you.

From the first contact with A W Lymn made me feel calm, I spoke with Megan and then met to discuss the funeral of my wife. She was so caring and thoughtful and respectful.
She listened to my ramblings and still organised everything with respect.
They take the personal touch and made me feel that they would take great care of my wife.
Nothing was too much trouble for any of them.
They care, I can never thank them enough for what they did and how they made the worst experience of my life into a feeling of how not to forget all the memories and laughter my wife left me.
From start to finish they were truly amazing.

John & I think you have all been help and helped to make this sad time much better for us.
Many thanks just does not cover it.
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.

A W Lymn arranged my late mothers funeral with a compassion and professionalism rarely encountered these days. Our instructions were carried out to the letter, everything was exactly as it should be. We were kept fully informed throughout the whole process. A special thanks to Paul Richardson who presided over the funeral as director and to all the members of staff at Robin Hood Street for making a traumatic event much more bearable. Thank you all.

Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Kathy. Thank you for the kind review. I was pleased to be told on the funeral that you were very satisfied with the help and advice given by my colleague Megan in the time before the funeral. I was also privileged to oversee your Mother’s funeral and felt at the end of the service that I was sad that I had not known her personally. I was pleased to be able to assist particularly after the way your daughter Kate had helped me by cutting my hair during my recovery from cancer some years ago. Thank you.

5Joy and Bella Otim3rd Aug 2020
Our funeral director Mark Collishaw has been so amazing from the first day! He made it all so easy for us to cope and plan. He has been reliable and always has a smile on his face. He is so well spoken and gets to know his clients needs so as to give the best service possible. My brother stayed with you for over two weeks but he always looked smart! The funeral was personalised and well planned! Everything we asked we got! We can’t thank you enough for all the support you! Want to say “I would definitely use your services again” but oh hell no!!’
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are sorry that it was necessary for your to require our services due to such tragic circumstances but we are glad that Mark's support, care and guidance made this difficult time a little easier for you. It is also good to hear that he took the time to get to know you so that he could offer appropriate suggestions to allow you to create a truly personalised service in memory of your brother. Thank you.

Everything was done in a truly professional and compassionate way.
An awful time was made so much easier thanks to A.W Lymns especially Mark Collishaw who was the main person we dealt with.
We wouldn’t hesitate to use Lymns again but hopefully not for a long time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are pleased that Mark offered a professional and compassionate service throughout. We are also grateful to you for your recommendation but not for a long time! thank you.

Both professional and caring. A WONDERFUL company would recommend to every one.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Having known Adrian for over 45 years it was very sad to be called upon to oversee his funeral at a time of such restrictions. I was pleased that we were able to take him to the "yard" en-route to the crematorium and I am pleased that the services of our funeral director Mark, myself and the team proved helpful to Pat and you, your brother and all the family.
It was very daunting arranging a funeral during these Covid restrictions. Paul was brilliant helping me each step of the way. Mum’s funeral was lovely. Thank you.
