A Funeral is never welcome but this one was the nicest I have ever attended. The whole process especially Skye’s input throughout was absolutely seamless and sensitively handled. The Funeral itself was actually beautiful and again perfect in all respects. The whole team and the Celebrant were impeccable and the whole thing was absolutely as I wanted.
Hopefully I will never be involved in arranging another funeral but would certainly go to the same place should one be needed.

June Smith27th Oct 2024
My family and I would like to thank everyone who helped to organise and carry out the funeral of Geoffrey Smith.
We were first introduced to Skye, who helped us with the majority of planning, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
Colum then came to visit us to discuss the funeral service at the crematorium. He made sure that the service was just as we wished it to be and helped us with choosing a reading as well as offering good advice to my grandson who was delivering the eulogy.
On the day of the viewing, we were all emotional and Skye made us feel at ease and handled the situation extremely professionally.
On the day of the funeral Mr Nigel Lynn led the transport of my late husband and his family to the crematorium showing us all such great respect.
Nigel’s presence was most appreciated.
We were all guided most sympathetically throughout the morning, and were very well cared for.
We can’t thank you all enough for making our final goodbyes to Geoff a beautiful day in his memory.
We can’t praise your services highly enough.
The Wollaton branch originally belonged to the Ilkeston Co-op Funeral Service before being incorporated into the A W Lymn group in 2003. The funeral home was formerly based on Arleston Drive in Wollaton, but was moved in late July 2014 to a purposed designed site on Wollaton Road called Deer Park House.
The new premises has off-street car parking and a beautiful visitation room with its own private waiting area.
The office was formerly a police station and features a large, bright, modern client reception, as well as state-of-the-art rooms.
The office is run by Funeral Director Kirby Cranshaw with the help of Funeral Arranger Sky O’Neill.
The funeral home is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. You can also make an appointment to see someone after hours via the telephone number.
The branch covers all of Wollaton and its surroundings including Bilborough, Bramcote, Nuthall, Strelley, Trowell, Watnall and beyond.
A.W.Lymn The Family Funeral Service is managed and owned by the Lymn Rose family. Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose are the directors of the company.

June thank you for your most kind words about the service provided by our family company in general and by Skye at our Wollaton Office and Colum our Celebrant in particular. It was indeed an honour to be overseeing the funeral on Wednesday of one of Nottingham's great and well known characters and I found the personal family input to the service so heartwarming. Thank you.

Lymns have been everything we could have hoped for at this sad time. They have been efficient, kind, compassionate and courteous. I also liked their warm approach, which struck just the right chord...being light, but thoughtful, of the situation.

5Salvatore Chibbaro16th Jun 2024
We just want to say a huge thank-you to Kirby and her team. We were thankful that Kirby was our funeral organiser as originally this was not the case. We felt fortunate to have her guide us through the logistics of organising our dads funeral at what was and is an extremely difficult time. She patiently and compassionately listened to our requirements and was committed to ensuring the day was as just as we wanted it even when there were complications with the cathedral. As such her attention to detail and knowledge of us as a family and professionalism meant the day of the funeral was the best send off we could have given our dad. Thank-you for your compassion and your support was a God send and we truly feel it was fate Kirby was sent to us after our dad died. Additionally after the funeral, when we contacted Kirby with a request for my mum, she went above and beyond to fulfil this too. Thank-you Kirby for being there for us as a family... words cannot express our gratitude. We would whole-heartedly recommend A.W. Lymn Wollaton.
Kind regards,
Salvatore Chibbaro and family.
A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
Sav, thank you so much for your lovely words and praise. It was a privilege to take care of you and your family and I think together we made Dad’s day really special. I was honoured to be invited into your family home to help make memories on Mum’s birthday by releasing two doves and I hope this helped ease the sadness just a little. Sending my love and best wishes to all the Chibbaros, Kirby x

From beginning to end we were given such excellent service. The kindness and care shown throughout was outstanding. They also recommended an amazing celebrant, Elaine, who took our words and weaved them into a wonderful narrative which was appreciated by all. We cannot fault anything, they took great care of us.

Thank you Susan for this kind review. I am pleased Elaine was a fitting choice for mum’s send off and the day went as well as possible for you all.
