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.

  • 5 Lynne Crooks 3rd Mar 2024

    At such a difficult, upsetting and stressful time the service we received from AW Lymn was excellent from the first point of contact to the end of my mum’s funeral.  Philip was brilliant he immediately put us all at ease and helped us when deciding on what we wanted for our mum.  He did exactly what he said he would and contacted us promptly. I would highly recommend Philip and the other staff members we came in contact with.

    Thank you, Lynne for this kind review. It was an honour to arrange your mother's funeral and hear the stories of her life, and I'm glad everything went exactly as we had planned. Philip.

    Amazing service. From first walking through the door and meeting Luke who gave us a feeling of comfort and keeping us updated through every step. He made my Dad's day perfect. Philip our funeral director done an amazing job in keeping my very large family in order and guided us through the day. Its all the little touches that makes such a sad day that bit easier to deal with. From bowing everytime they walked past my dad to the hand warmers given to us by our driver. Thankyou so much you are truly amazing

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Anne, your kind words are greatly appreciated. It has been an honour to support you and your family through this difficult time. I’m so glad to hear that, despite the unfortunate weather, the funeral was just right for yourselves and for your Dad. Thank you, Luke
