The staff at Lymn ‘s were wonderful from the outset - kind, thoughtful, efficient, respectful and professional down to the last detail. Most of all, it was quite obvious that they were interested in people. On the day of the funeral, everything was beautiful and went like clockwork. I can’t speak highly enough of everyone.

Robert Sheldon 28th Oct 2023

Caring, personalised and sympathetic service. Everything I would have wished for.

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 Leroy Wilks 23rd Oct 2023

    I work with Megan at the Robin Hood location. I was planning from the US, and she expertly guided me through the process, not knowing the protocol in England. After we formulated the basic plan she then worked with family to incorporate their wishes and suggestions. It was a hassle free and memorable send off. Which is what is needed at this difficult time.As a youth I'd regularly walk passed the windows at the same location for many years and knew of the history of the company. Thank you respectfully.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Leroy, it was a pleasure to assist you with the arrangements for your late brother. I’m glad it was made as easy as it could have been for you being so far away. Megan

  • 5 Chris Etches 16th Sep 2023

    The service that we received from all the staff at A.W. Lymn was, as before, first class. Our primary contact was Philip Wilson who helped us through the process with respect, empathy and curteousness, and was extremely helpful and professional at all times. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at A.W. Lymn, and their attention to detail is impeccable.
    I cannot recommend the service that A.W. Lymn provide at such a difficult time highly enough, except to say that in future, I would not use any other funeral service.
    Many thanks to all the staff.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied

    Chris. Thank you for your kind words. It has been a privilege for me to assist you at this difficult time, and I'm so pleased that you were happy with all that I did for you.
