Chapman Dr Nigel 5th Jan 2023

Sadly my wife passed away on the 12th December 2022. It has been a very difficult time but A W Lymn Family Funeral Service have made that journey so much easier. I was not pressurised and given time to make the decisions for the funeral. The family were treated with the utmost tenderness, dignity and compassion. There was no problem very time changes were made to the process or the Order of Service. I was allowed to visit and sit with my wife even over the bank holiday. The funeral team dressed her and allowed the family to place mementoes with her. The photographs and Order of service were magnificent and the memorial cards added to the comfort. During the service there were a large number of people in church but Lymn's team had plenty of staff available. The family were taken to their seats with quiet dignity. The flowers on the coffin were designed to match the wedding flowers and looked stunning. My family were supported when they carried my wife in and out of Church and at the crematorium. Before the service and after the funeral the Lead Funeral Director Mr Nigel Lymn rang to check all the details were correct and followed. The whole journey was perfectly arrangement with compassion, dignity and care for which we are truly grateful.

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.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    It was very sad when you informed me some months ago of the deterioration in your wife Bonnie's health. We were all saddened when we received the call to say that Bonnie had died and this impacted upon all our staff, most of whom had known you during your time as Coroner for the County of Nottingham. I am pleased that we provided the standard of service that you had epxected from us and I am very grateful for all the thanks and accolades you have passed to our staff both in terms of this review and the personal notes you have sent to my family and our team here at A W Lymn. Thank you. Nigel.

  • 4 Natasha Holbrook 20th Dec 2022

    We used lymns as they had conducted our sisters service 7months before. Kevin and Maureen were in regular contact with me as the next of kin and followed all necessary instructions however, dad was with the coroner for longer than expected which meant he was not in his best state when it came to viewing and this is where we as a family feel lymns let us down as right up to the day before viewing embalming was still an option however, dad was unable to be embalmed and this was devastating as this was not mentioned before viewing but someone did state dad didn’t look His best. I feel to prevent this added upset in further lymns should state there is a timeframe on embalming, warn the family and dim the lights as this helped with the appearance. 

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Thank you Natasha for welcoming me into your home to help you with the arrangements for Dad’s service. It was lovely to see so many people there for him on the day. I’m glad we could include his rendition of Eight Days a Week, he certainly deserved his standing ovation. I am however sorry that you felt let down with the viewing at Nottingham and the timescales around the opportunity to embalm him. I have discussed this at length with Kevin but appreciate that this does not change things for you and your family which is regretful. Sending my best regards to you and your family, Kirby Natalie.

  • 5 Roz and family Lynch 1st Nov 2022

    Yet again Lymns have been extremely profession, sensitive and approachable whilst dealing with our family loss. I dealt with Paul in January when I lost my mum, unfortunately we lost a very dear family member in October in which I request for Paul to deal with our affairs in terms of the funeral. Both funerals we're very different but equally as beautiful thanks to Paul remembering our family, understanding the different requests and support for us to fulfill the deceased wishes.
    Also other staff members at Lymns have been equally kind, caring, professional and compassionate when I have spoken with them. My family member who recently passed was extremely poorly and had a nasty tumour on the face. When I went to visit him he looked very clean tidy and smart, I felt he was going out very dignified. Thankyou again to Paul and all the team, keep doing what you are doing so well .
    you are all like a little family and I have always felt looked after by you all.

    A.W. Lymn, Nottingham Team replied
    Dear Roz, thank you for taking the time to leave a great review of our services and for your very high appraisal for my Colleagues at the Nottingham Office. I am so sorry that it has been necessary for you to have had to instruct us again following the very sad loss of Albert, and it has been a privilege looking after you and all your family. I wish you well in moving forwards. Kindest regards, Paul.

    Jackie Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you very much Melissa. You were all dignified and courteous to me and the team considering the tragic circumstances surrounding Toby's death.
    Your two little girls were amazing, a credit to you and to Toby.
    I wish you the very best .
  • 5 Jackie Finnegan 14th Oct 2022

    Excellent you can always rely on a very personal, empathetic and caring service. Paul was very compassionate and made us feel at ease, as if we were the only family going through this. I know everything will go smoothly when using Lymns services, they go that extra mile and nothing is ever too much trouble. Sadly we have had to use Lymns a few times over the last few years, they are always exceptional and I would not use anyone else.

    The most excellent service available. They made everything run so smoothly and gave my partner a send off that was so respectable and just as I wanted. I cannot recommend A W Lymns enough for anyone needing to organise a funeral. They are so professional and are so friendly. I don't think I would have had such a lovely respectful funeral if I'd used anyone else. The people there made this awful experience into a funeral I was proud of. Thank you A W Lymns...
