Very caring and professional company. All details dealt with well. 

Danuta Januszonok 23rd Apr 2018

Megan was very good, knowledgeable and I greatly appreciated her support; the printers paid attention and I cannot fault the overall approach to planning of the funeral. The collection of my mother's body from home was empathetic and spot-on. The attention to detail going into the church, leaving it and at graveside was excellent. The cars were exactly as my mother had wished. The way in which my mother was dressed in the coffin from the neck down was exactly as I had instructed and clearly care had been taken over this. There is however one aspect which could have been different - my mother's face was harsh and unrecognisable. It would have been helpful if I had been pre-warned before entering the room to view her that her face was distorted. I understand that my mother's illness would have had an effect as would the length of time she was on ice. However, overall I was pleased with the standard of service provided.

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 for taking the time to leave this detailed and generally positive review regarding the service provided by the team in our Nottingham office. We are pleased that each member of staff carried out their duties with care and empathy and that everything was done according to your wishes. We are however very sorry that you were disappointed with how your mother looked when you went to visit her in the Chapel of Rest. It is difficult for us to know how different a person looks when in the Chapel to how they looked in life and usually if we have any concerns we will try to discuss these with a family beforehand, but on this occasion we obviously have not and we are all very sorry that caused you upset at an already difficult time. If you would like to discuss this with us further then please do not hesitate to contact the team at Nottingham. Thank you.

    A beautiful goodbye. Respectful and courteous. Deepest gratitude for our treatment at this incredibly difficult time.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    It was a privilege to be involved on the day of Susan’s funeral particularly as your grandfather and grandmother had been involved with our family firm some thirty years ago and given that you remembered me from when you were a child. I am pleased that Julia Carty and the team provided such respectful and courteous service and I am very sorry that you are having to use our services again already. Thank you. Nigel

    The team were very supportive and caring from the outset, and the guys with us at the funeral were phenomenal 

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    It was a privilege to be the funeral director conducting the funeral of Sharon Marks last Friday. The family were an inspiration to others and I was very pleased that they had found the services of our funeral arranger Megan to be flexible and accommodating of their wishes. There was a lovely feeling in the service conducted by a family friend at Wilford Hill and there was a warm welcome on arrival at the Trent Vinyard church. Thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose.

    A first rate service by thoughtful, sensitive and experienced people who provided excellent advice especially in relation to the order of service and advice to have a celebrant.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Nigel, thank you very much for your kind comments about the staff at our family company and the advice about the use of the celebrant Keith. As you know Penny and I, and indeed all our family, had been close friends of your Dad, John. Although very saddened we were all privileged and honoured to be involved in his funeral and we thought that your address and the lovely comments you made about John’s life were so apt. Thank you Nigel (Lymn Rose)
  • 5 Julia Penniston 11th Feb 2018

    I cannot praise the staff at Lymns funeral services during the time leading up to my dad’s funeral and on the day. They were helpful, professional, organised, adaptable. They never got in the way but they helped us all during a difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble and help was there 24 hours a day if needed. Thank you so much. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Nigel and Jackie were very pleased to have been able to have served your family, particularly as they had known you all for so many years. I am particularly pleased that the services of Megan and the team in our Nottingham office proved helpful and that they were able to provide the help, support and assistance you needed without becoming obtrusive. Thank you for your very kind feedback.

  • 5 Anne Morrell 19th Dec 2017

    The funeral involved repatriation and a considerable delay before cremation, both of which Lymns handled with the utmost professionalism and efficiency, but also with great compassion.  Nothing was too much trouble. We got exactly the right balance on the day of the service too.

    Given the complications, we would have expected to be faced with a very large bill, but that was not the case.

    Can't recommend Lymns highly enough.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this very kind and detailed review. At what was obviously a difficult and stressful time for you we are glad that Jackie's professionalism, efficiency and compassion made things a little easier. We are also glad she was able to support you in creating a personalised service and we would thank you for your recommendation.
  • 5 Mark Fletcher 18th Dec 2017
