Excellent caring service.

Tracey Curzon-Manners 29th Nov 2020

Kirby and the team handled the arrangements with kindness and compassion under difficult circumstances brought on by Covid. Despite this setback, they were willing and able to help us achieve a beautiful service for Dad; often going the extra mile. We will always be grateful to them for their support at such a sad time for the whole family.

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.

    Everybody at A W Lymn's was kind, thoughtful and very caring.

  • 5 Evelyn Gurd 18th Nov 2020

    I was very happy with my dealings with your company. The advice and help given by Kirby Cranshaw was very good and the Celebrant, Mr. Richard Marshall did an excellent job. City Flowers also did me proud.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Mrs. Gurd for your kind review. It’s lovely to hear you were pleased with everything for Peter. Kindest regards, Kirby
  • 5 Sylvia King 17th Nov 2020

    From beginning to end the service was impeccable. Kirby treated us with kindness and respect and her knowledge was invaluable. She recommended a lovely lady minister ( Kerry ) to lead the service because she thought  she would reflect my mum’s personality and beliefs and she was perfect. I send my upmost thanks to everyone concerned. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Sylvia for taking the time to leave your review. I am so pleased you felt the service delivered by Kerry was just right for Mum. I really appreciate your kind words and thanks. Best regards, Kirby
  • 5 Christine Jamieson 9th Nov 2020

    Kirby was professional in every way and carried out her duties perfectly.

    She was with me every step of the way on one of the saddest days of my life.

    She also showed great empathy and encouraged me every along the way and said she was proud of how I had read the poem and dealt with the pressure of the day.

    She is surely a cherished member of the team.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you so much Christine for your very kind words and for allowing me to support you through that difficult time. I hope you raised those sparklers to Auntie Wyn. Sending you my best wishes for your new chapter, Kirby.

  • 5 Jill Kelk 17th Oct 2020

    Our contact at the Wollaton Branch was extremely helpful and professional in arranging the funeral of my father, Harry, at Bramcote Crematorium. She always hit the right tone in all our contacts with her - and that was really appreciated at such a stressful time. We are extremely grateful for the help we received and would not hesitate to recommend Lymns to anyone looking for funeral services.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Jill for your kind words and lovely review. I am so pleased I could help and guide you through this difficult time. Best wishes to you and the whole family, Kirby
  • 5 Amanda Cliffe 10th Oct 2020

    Thank you so so much for making my dads final farewell so lovely.

    It was so important to me to make it perfect in every way possible for him and you made my wish achievable.

    You worked so hard with all my requests and most importantly of all, you looked after my precious dad for me whilst he was in your care. There is absolutely no one I would have rather taken care of him for me.

    All in all, you made organising my dads funeral as stress free as at all possible. You were so kind and knowledgeable about absolutely everything! You have been a real help to me throughout this whole horrendously sad time.

    You all achieved the farewell I wanted for my dad and delivered him so seamlessly to his final resting place.

    I will be eternally grateful to you all for coordinating this very important day for my dad and myself. It was so perfect.

    You are all true professionals thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Amanda, as you already know it really was a privilege to take care of your Dad and help make everything just right for his service. Although current restrictions tamed things slightly, you worked tirelessly to ensure Storming Norman got the perfect send off. Thank you for entrusting me with the arrangements and inviting me into your family to guide you through. Your kind words mean so much to me and I will cherish them. Sending you, Craig and the girls my warmest wishes, Kirby.
  • 5 Amanda Dring 3rd Oct 2020

    Thank you so much to Russell and Kirby, from Wollaton, for the organisation of my Father’s funeral. My family and  I have been overwhelmed by the compassion and professionalism shown to us during a very sad time. It was appreciated very much. Also, thank you to Malcolm, the celebrant, who spoke of my Father as if he knew of him personally. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    I am so pleased that all went well for you and the family and that the service we provided, including Malcolm Barham the celebrant, was all professional and compassionate. Thank you for your kind words. Russ.

    The service from Kirby was nothing more than perfect

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Dear Jean & John, thank you for taking the time to leave your review and for your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you both and help you through the arrangements for Maurice. I’m pleased we could help Aunty Daisy attend and hope it was of some comfort to her. Best wishes to you both, kindest regards, Kirby.
  • 5 Jane Bartrop 18th Aug 2020

    I felt very comfortable discussing issues and raising any questions with Kirby at the Wollaton Office. Her manner was lovely. When she was not there her colleagues also provided an excellent service. The opportunity to have the service streamed and then a recording on the obituary page were much appreciated. The Covid safety measures were good.
    It was very much appreciated that Nigel found time to be there for us at the chapel.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Jane. Thank you for your very kind and complimentary review of our family company and in particular the support given by Kirby at Wollaton. Your father being my personal tutor at school over 50 years ago very much played a part in my formative years and for that I am very grateful to all your family, and it was a privilege to be able to assist at mother’s funeral. Thank you.
  • 4 Catherine Eyre 16th Aug 2020

    Kirby Cranshaw was very caring and dealt with all a large families questions very professionally.

    The horses and carriage were beautiful and the reflections coffin better than we could have hoped for.

    Thank you again.

  • 5 Andrew Collings 4th Aug 2020

    It was such a difficult time for me to loose both parents in a matter of days.
    From start to finish the care ,
    Patience and professionalism shown towards me were exemplary 
    Special thanks to Kirby ( Wollaton) who just made the whole dreadful process so much easier!
    Huge thanks .
    Regards,
    Andrew Collings 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Dear Andrew, thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review. I’m pleased I could help you through such extraordinary circumstances. I hope Mum & Dad’s joint service was fitting for them both, especially the floral contributions from their allotment friends. It was testament to your hard work in making it just right for them. Best wishes to you, Kirby.
  • 5 Linda Ahern 24th Jul 2020

    What can I say. Kirby at the Wollaton office is amazing she is so professional friendly and caring. Without her knowledge and caring way we would not have been able to have the service we wanted for Beryl nothing was too much trouble and we were kept informed all the way. Beryl is being buried in Stockport which is a long way from Nottingham and we thought it would be a lot of organising we needn't have worried Kirby did everything for us and we thank her so much. I have used this funeral directors for my own parents and have found them to delver exceptional service before and after the funeral. I would go to no other funeral directors

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Linda, I can’t thank you enough for your kind words. It was a privilege to be able to help Beryl to her rightful resting place with her husband. It was lovely to meet you and your family, guiding you through the arrangements. Warmest wishes to you and Mike, Kirby.
  • 5 Neil Minton 13th Jul 2020

    Was so impressed from start to finish. It was an excellent send off for my mum who I’m sure would have been proud. 
    Kirby and the team were very professional. 
    Many thanks
    Neil Minton. 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you Neil for your lovely review. I’m pleased I could help you all make everything just right for Mum. Best wishes, Kirby
  • 5 David Foster 12th Jun 2020

    First class service from start to finish. Was most impressed by the kindness and consideration shown at all times. Most professional. Highly recommend them. Many thanks to all.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you David for such a kind review. It’s lovely to hear you were impressed with our team here at Wollaton. I am pleased I could help you through all of the arrangements for your Aunt. Kind regards, Kirby
  • 5 Patricia Rowson 9th Jun 2020

    During Lockdown arrangements for the funeral were made via phone and email but still I felt there was someone ‘holding my hand’ and guiding me through every step.  Julia, at Wollaton,  was patient and supportive and the service was perfect.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased that Julia was able to make you feel like she was holding your hand throughout the arrangement process even though this had to be done remotely due to COVID-19 and we are glad that the service was perfect.
  • 5 Sally Jenkins 4th Jun 2020

    I cannot fault Kirby, Julia and team. They provided an excellent service and were always friendly and supportive. Most of all though, they care about their customers at a very difficult time. That care shines through in everything they do and makes the whole experience more bearable for the bereaved family and friends.
    Thank you. Sally

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Sally, it was a privilege to take care of Mum and I thank you for sharing your stories with me. I am so pleased I had the opportunity to help you and your wonderful family through this time. Sending my warmest wishes to you, Dad and Matt as well as “virtual hugs” from Julia. Thank you, Kirby.
  • 5 Martin Ingram 1st Jun 2020

    We are glad that Jonathat once again delivered a 5* service and he joins me in thanking you for taking the time to review his service in this way. Thank you.
  • 5 Elaina Howe 30th May 2020

    I would highly recommend using this funeral director, they were professional and extremely friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect and went as smooth as possible. Kirby was the lady that looked after us and her customer service skills were just amazing! Such a lovely caring person. Thank you so much :-)  Elaina & Helen x

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    You all worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect and that all of Lee’s family were included. I enjoyed hearing the stories about Lee and getting to know you all better. I’m so glad I could help make the day just right for you. Thank you, Kirby.
  • 5 Phillip Evans 17th May 2020

    AW Lymn (Wollaton) have been warm, friendly, respectful and easy to deal with from the start. Alan and Julia were helpful, kind and professional following the loss of our beloved Heather. With the current crisis over everyone, nothing was ever too much trouble and we were able to give Heather the send-off she would have wanted and deserved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to deal with someone else's loved one.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are really pleased that desipte the current restrictions the team at Wollaton were able to help you create the send-off that Heather both wanted and deserved. Thank you.
