Nigel and the team did our daughter justice. Everything was perfected to the last detail.
They brought us back home wanting nothing more.
Can't recommend them highly enough.
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

At such a difficult and stressful time, all the team made us feel comfortable, supported us at every stage and most importantly respected and looked after the precious person we had lost.
A special thank you to Sharon and Russell who could not do enough for the family.
Thank you all for being amazing.
Kind Regards.

The personal service, preparation and care in arranging the funeral for my mother was exceptional. The owner and staff of Lymns could not have been more helpful or considerate at what is a very difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
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.

Andrew and Lisa. This is a funeral that we really desperately wish that there had not been the need to arrange and conduct. The circumstances of the death are so tragic and nobody can express the sorrow that we all feel. Both of you were amazing with your strength and your wish that Saffie-Rose achieved international fame. In my time as a funeral director, now approaching fifty years, I have never experienced such emotion as that expressed in the short video clips produced by Saffie-Rose's friends, many only of her age. What a beautiful girl who, at such a young age, has made her mark on this world. My family, staff, sister Jackie and I were all saddened but immensely privileged to be involved with your family on this sad occasion. Nigel

Mr Scruton. Thank you for your very kind review. I am sorry that my son Matthew who knows your son Ben was out of the country and unable to oversee the funeral arrangements for you. I am however pleased that the services provided by Julia and I in his absence proved to be to your satisfaction. Thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose.

Outstanding company.
Faultless service and support from our first telephone conversation with Lymns to the end.
Nothing was too much trouble or a problem for them. Every wish was tendered to and they took care of my mum, and us with the utmost care and professionalism.
Our Funeral Director was Julia Carty and she was amazing, supportive, caring and professional. A true credit to her profession.
Thank you so much.

Jackie Lymn-Rose was very professional and understanding at all times. Nothing was too much trouble, helpful suggestions were made for our family's emotional needs and all of our questions were answered respectfully, quickly and with plenty of detail. We knew what to expect at every stage of the process and we were taken through all aspects of our services at the appropriate times. There is a level of professionalism, empathy and attention to detail with A W Lymn that would be difficult to find elsewhere.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are pleased that Jackie offered great support and guidance at this difficult time to enable you to make informed decisions and understand what would be happening at all times and she joins me in thanking you for this lovely review.

5Vicky Lamb21st May 2017
Outstanding service from lymns. Professional at all times always go that extra mile to make your loved ones last journey perfect. A proper family feel to the service they provide.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Vicky. Thank you very much for your kind response. As you know Johnâs relationship with our family business goes back nearly fifty years. He was, throughout most of his working life, a loyal and much loved colleague and friend of the people we serve in the local community. I thought that the letter that he wrote for all the family that was read at the funeral was so moving. In so many ways Johnâs life touched others when they were at their lowest ebb and for the help, support, care and friendship he gave in those situations he will always be remembered with such high regard. Thank you.

5Jenny Percival20th Apr 2017
From the initial phone call, through the planning of the funeral, the funeral service and to the scattering of the ashes, the guidance, support and advice we received was excellent. This ensured we were able to arrange the funeral that was tailored to our needs and perfect for us.
Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were sensitive and courteous, there to attend to our every need, but also aware of when to stand back and give us the space we needed.
I cannot thank them enough for all they did to make such a difficult time easier to bear.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Jenny. Being a close member of the family, and having managed the Bingham office of our family firm for many years prior to his retirement, Derekâs funeral was inevitably going to be a very emotional and difficult time for us all. I am very sorry that because I was out of the country I was unable to be of practical support on the day of the funeral but I know that our Sister Jackie and all our family and staff worked hard to ensure that Derekâs wishes were carried out in an exacting professional and yet comforting and supporting manner. I also know that Canon Alan Haydock was an immense help and that Pearl and all those at the Plough in Wysall made the after funeral reception very special. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me in such a public manner. Thank you, Nigel
5Coleen Mulligan18th Apr 2017

Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Steve. I was sorry to have to see you at another family funeral. It was great to hear you Mumâs life story and then to hear her singing on the CD at her own funeral. It was nice to see so many friends supporting you and your family and I do think that it helped as the sun was shining. Thank you for the very kind review of the services provided by the staff at my family company. In particular I will ensure that both Barbara and Kirsty are aware of your kind comments. Thank you, Nigel.
