A.W. Lymn - The Family Funeral Service Bulwell

A.W. Lymn - The Family Funeral Service was established in 1907 and remains family-owned by the Lymn Rose family, now operating a network of 26 offices across Nottinghamshire and South Derbyshire. This branch, Middleton House at 130 Main Street, Bulwell (NG6 8ET), is in a building reputedly the oldest in Bulwell and has traded as a Lymn office since 1990, undergoing a major renovation and expansion in July-August 2020. It serves Bulwell and the surrounding neighbourhoods, including Bestwood, Top Valley, Heron Ridge, Crabtree Farm and Highbury Vale.

The branch is led by Tony Knowles, a funeral director who has worked there since 1985, together with funeral arrangers Kim Nichols (since 2010) and Deanna Dale (since 2015), with oversight from Julia Carty, Senior Funeral Director for West Nottingham. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Saturday, 9am to 12:30pm. Group-wide, the firm offers traditional funerals, bespoke individually written obituaries and pre-payment planning, drawing on affiliated businesses including City Flowers Nottingham, The Craftsmen in Stone for masonry, and Lymn Luxury Vehicle Hire/Carriage Masters for transport including a Rolls-Royce Phantom hearse.

Staff across the group are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reflecting the firm's positioning as an established, multi-generation family business with the resources of a large Nottinghamshire and South Derbyshire operator.
