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.

5Collette Shanahan2nd Apr 2021
Very professional service. The lead for the coffin were very respectful walking in front of the coffin, quite old school with a top hat a walking stick which is the type of thing we wanted without really knowing it. The hearse was very prestigious without the price tag one would expect so I was very pleased my mum went out in style
A.W. Lymn, Wollaton Team replied
Thank you Collette for taking the time to leave a lovely review. At A. W. Lymn we take pride in still offering these respectful traditions and I’m pleased that this helped add to Mum’s special service. Kind regards, Kirby

A.W. Lymn Wollaton branch has provided a excellent service to us. They were very welcoming and became part of our family, sharing our feelings and thoughts.

Thank you very much Kirby and Team.

A W Lymn handled our mother's funeral with complete professionalism and courtesy. The ever helpful Kirby at the Wollaton office was extremely organised and efficient, taking all our requests (and changes of mind) in her stride. We felt the service went off perfectly and was a fitting tribute to our mother.

David, many thanks for your kind words. I think you and the whole family created a wonderfully personal service for Mum and it was a privilege to help you through. Best regards, Kirby.

A W Lymn's service was in every way excellent nothing was too much trouble and they did everything in their power to make a difficult situation as comfortable and easy as possible. I would certainly recommend their services to anybody in the future. They might not be the cheapest funeral service but they are certainly the best.

5Bruce Foster17th Jan 2021
From the very first phone call I was confident I had chosen the right people to look after my dear wife and that proved to be the case. I had carefully planned what I wanted and Kirby and Julia made sure that everything was executed perfectly. A truly professional service delivered with care and empathy. The online obituary facility along with the online viewing of the service were used and appreciated by a large number of friends and family, truly excellent additions to the overall service provided. Thank you so much for helping to make such a sad day so memorable. Bruce Foster
