The guy dealt with my mum after her very unexpected sudden passing and I have to say they were excellent from start to finish.
Always professional and compassionate we literally have nothing but love for the team.

Excellent Service, Well looked after by Paul. Thankyou for all the arrangements and making the funeral go so smoothly.
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.

Thank you for those very kind words. It was a privilege to look after Colin's funeral, he was such a lovely person, I was blessed to accompany him on his final journey to his parent's grave in Yorkshire.

Thank you Andrea,
I am humbled by your kind comments for the "team", your mother was an incredible, inspiring lady and I was honoured to be able to acquaint with her to assist in the meticulous planning of her funeral.

You gave her exactly the send off she had wished for.
Hold her memory close to you.
