We chose Lymns as they did a superb job with my mother’s funeral 6 years ago. Their care with my father and extra help in this time of Covid could not be faulted Always polite and empathetic. Theresa was excellent in particular.
Established in the 1950’s, the office was originally Oliver & Son Funeral Services but in 1994 the Beeson family sold the business to the A W Lymn group.
Set in a beautiful rural environment, this office has visiting rooms, a reception area, family rooms and cold room facilities.
Funeral directors Teresa Spencer and Gary Cooke are in charge of the funeral home and will be more than happy to help in person Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. You can also schedule an appointment to be seen after hours if it is more convenient for you. To do so, please call the telephone number, which is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
The office covers all of Ruddington and its surrounding areas including Bradmore, Bunny, Burton on the Wolds, Costock, East Leake, Hoton, Keyworth, Kingston upon Soar, Normanton on Soar, Normanton on the Wolds, Rempstone, Sileby, Stanton on the Wolds, Sutton Bonnington, West Leake, Widmerpool, Willoughby on the Wolds, Wysall and beyond.

We were very pleased with the dignified and helpful way in which all staff of A W Lymn conducted themselves.
Courtney Kelham-Giddy described in detail all options and castings for every aspect of the funeral, with no pressure or time constraints being placed on our decision making. She maintained regular contact after our initial meeting to ensure that everything was progressing to time.
On the day of my wife’s funeral all staff were very attentive and ensured that the service and burial were exactly as we wanted.
We would have no reservations about recommending A W Lymn to anyone.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are really pleased that Courtney kept you well informed throughout the arrangement process, giving ample time and detailed information so that you could make your decisions. We are also glad that everything was exactly as planned on the day and we thank you for your kind words and for your recommendation.

I went to Lymn's 3 years ago when my mother passed away ,I was very pleased with the way they handled everything So when my father passed away I decided to use them again. Everything went smoothly even with covid 19 to deal with. Organizing a funeral can seem daunting but with Lymn's to guide you can do it.

4Ann Jardine31st Mar 2020
Due to corona virus and age group due to attend, I am afraid it was a reduced service, 4 family members only. In very unfortunate circumstances and late change to arrangements, once again Teresa proved to be a wonderful asset to your company. With many thanks to Richard who too, had to alter service arrangements.

We are really sorry that the current Coronavirus situation has caused additional distress at this already upsetting time but we are glad that Teresa and her team were able to help guide you throughout. Thank you.
