The staffing service and performane are excellent from entering your parlour to my mother's funeral day and thereafter.  The environment is warm, bright and welcoming which helped to instill tranquility. Thank to Barbara and Julia for their expertise, support and empathy.

For the third time in eight years I have called on the services: once again the support given has been outstanding.

Novlette Lewis 20th Jul 2016

I was extremely impressed with the entire service provided by all the staff I came into contact with, especially Kirsty. At a time like this compassion is paramount, and this was evident with her. Star!!

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.

    On behalf of all our family I would like to thank AW Lymn for their unique and talented Team incorporating a combination of Kirsty"s very high professionalism, efficiency and respect coupled with Barbara's unequalled friendliness, warmth and compassion throughout. Both
    Kirsty and Barbara took great care of every little detail, nothing was ever too much trouble for either of them, resulting in a beautiful ceremony for Maria tailored to the families every wish.
    I cannot speak highly enough of AW Lymn and their whole Team, and therefore I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to you.
    Many thanks, and Kind regards, John, Marcin and Family.

    We miss mum so much, it doesn't seem real. The Lord has taken back his Angel.

    Mum has always been there for us, her children, the gran & great granchildren.
    Mum loved us and worried when couldn't contact us. We smile when when we remember how mum would cus if we did something she disliked. Telling which any one of us that was being chastised that we're hard of hearing or if you can't hear you'll feel.

    Mum made wonderful cakes, bread, patties, janny cakes (with or without cornmeal, coconut drops, ginger beer, chicken and ooh salt fish fritters.

    Mums smile could warm the coldest heart. Mums spirit is free, no longer restricted by pain. Our mum Florentina Valderre Ward daughter of Anita & Authur Ward.

    We the family have a lot of comforting memories to sooth our sorrows. And thank everyone for the sympathy and support. God Bless You All. We know mum does.

    We love you Mum. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
