About Us

Although A W Lymn's head office moved to Robin Hood House on Robin Hood Street in 1977, many people in the area still refer to this office as "Lymn's on Bath Street".

The head office, built by fourth generation George Rose in the late 1970's, has several in-house funeral directors to help families with their funeral needs, and also houses most of the company's administration staff.

The funeral home is staffed by funeral directors Kevin Browne, and Philip Wilson, funeral arranger Megan Rosier and Luke Mellor and receptionist Lucinda Pallett.

The opening times are Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 12.30 pm. Staff are also available to meet with you after office hours. Please call the telephone number at any time to arrange a convenient appointment.

Besides the administration and reception area, the premises have a coffin showroom, family rooms, visiting rooms, cold room facilities, a full fleet of hearses and limousines, a vintage fleet, stone masonry services and a florist.

A.W. Lymn's head office serves all of Nottingham city centre and its surrounding areas including Bobbers Mill, Colwick, Hyson Green, Mapperley, Radford, Sherwood, Sneinton, St. Ann's, The Meadows and beyond.

A W Lymn is owned and managed by the Lymn Rose family. Nigel Lymn Rose, one of the company's directors, was president of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) during its centenary year in 2005.

    Thank you for your very kind appraisal. I am pleased that the service provided by Megan and her colleagues at Nottingham in advance of the funeral proved helpful. I thought that the service in Mansfield Road Baptist church was very personal and the tributes were beautiful. I am also gratified that you were happy with the way I oversaw the funeral and with the team that assisted me on the day. Again thank you. Nigel Lymn Rose

    We cannot thank Jackie and her team enough for their sterling service, care and compassion during the hardest time we have experienced as a family. Everything had the personal touch, Jackie took time to get to know our mum before she passed and we are more than confident that she captured our mums wishes perfectly. Jackie, thankyou for looking after us, we truly appreciate you. God bless you xx

    Thank you Andrea,
    I am humbled by your kind comments for the "team", your mother was an incredible, inspiring lady and I was honoured to be able to acquaint with her to assist in the meticulous planning of her funeral. She often told me how proud she was of "her girls" and now having met you all I can totally understand that.
    You gave her exactly the send off she had wished for.
    Hold her memory close to you.
