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.

  • 5 Rachel Wilson-Dixon 10th Mar 2025

    AW. Lymn helped me and my siblings organise my father's funeral. Skye was helpful in guiding us through each stage, giving us time to think about different aspects of the service and choices we had to make. She put us in touch with a lovely celebrant who helped with the service itself. Skye was patient and sensitive at what was a difficult time to have to make decisions. Skye was prompt in replying to questions whether that be by email or phone. We found Lymn were flexible to accommodate our wishes in how we wanted to say goodbye to my father.
    On the day of the funeral the directors were calm, kind and professional. Everything was just so. It was nice to be know we were in good hands and could concentrate on what we needed to on the day of the funeral.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you so much for this heartfelt review Rachel. It was truly an honour to assist yourself, David & Sarah with organising your fathers funeral. I understand how difficult this time was for you all and I am glad I could be there to guide you through the process. I’m pleased to hear Keith helped create a meaningful service and that you felt supported on the day by the staff.
    If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to reach out. Thank you again for trusting me during this time.

    We cannot thank you enough for the brilliant care, respect and support we received from you when arranging our Mother's funeral; from the initial planning to the day of the funeral. We were guided throughout the process by Skye, who communicated with us with great care and compassion throughout the whole process and who was a great comfort when needed. I would highly recommend A.W.Lymn to anyone experiencing this difficult time.

    Thank you so much Janice for this kind review. It has been a real honour helping you all from the beginning with Mum’s funeral plan last year, right up until the day. Thank you for trusting me at such a difficult time and sharing the wonderful stories of Mum’s life over her 100 years!

    Nothing can prepare you a loss of your close relative, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister etc. Following a loss of my wife, Debra, it was extremely difficult to focus on the funeral arrangements whilst grieving let alone being the first experience organising it. I’m grateful for A.W. Lymn, Wollaton who provided an excellent professional and friendly service, guiding us through every process from initial preparations all the way through the church service, crematorium and the wake. They truly took the burden off our shoulders and provided a fantastic service echoed by majority who attended. The services we received from Skye and Phil were exceptionally great and a big thank you to you both. Your services are highly recommended.

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    Thank you Mac for this review. It was an absolute honour to assist you and Lucy with Debra’s service. Hearing all the stories of her life along with her strength until the end was truly touching.
    I am so pleased Phil was able to look after you on the day.
    Sending best wishes to you both for the future,

  • 5 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. 

    A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
    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.
  • 5 Steve Ridal 29th Nov 2024

    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.

  • 5 Fredericke David Beggs 16th Nov 2024

    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.
