Elizabeth Abbott 16th Dec 2024

Our experience of planning the funeral for our mum at the Wollaton branch was at all stages excellent. Skye was efficient, empathetic and patient . We were kept informed and felt looked after throughout. Philip conducted the proceedings on the day with great consideration and respect. Many thanks.

James Haines 3rd Dec 2024

Kirby and the team at Lymn Wollaton handled our arrangements in a very professional and sensitive fashion. They listened to our wishes and responded positively to some of our unusual requests. The choice of Column as celebrant was perfect for us and his organisation impeccable. Overall we felt very well looked after in our time of need.

About Us

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.

    Thank you James and David for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for us. It was a privilege to be part of something very special. I thought you both created a wonderful celebration of Mum’s life, one I will never forget. The Pink Peony Roses really brought colour and beauty to the chapel. Sending our best wishes to you both, Kirby, Colum and the Wollaton Team.

    Thank you to everyone at Lymns who were involved in preparing for Peter's funeral. The orders of service were beautifully presented, as was the cross of white flowers on his coffin.

    We appreciate the kindness of those of you who looked after us on the day and the dignity you showed. Peter was a special person to us all and he had a ‘worthy’ send off on a sunny day.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you for leaving this kind review. I am so pleased we could assist you with Peter's service and the day was special for him.
    Wishing yourself and all the family our best wishes for the future.

    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.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you David for this kind review. I am so pleased you felt the service was perfect for your beloved Lynda, it was an honour to assist you.
    Wishing yourself, Andrew & Katherine best wishes for the future.

  • 5 June Smith 27th 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.




    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    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.
  • 5 Gill Smith 26th Oct 2024

    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.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you Gill.
    It was a privilege to be able to assist you with Steve’s service and hear the many stories of your life together.
    Wishing yourself and all the family the best for the future.
