🎉 Celebrating 5 Years of Emma 🎉

We are pleased to mark five years of service from Emma, who joined our family company in 2021 after working in both retail and community care.

In October 2023, Emma completed her Certificate in Funeral Arranging and Administration, supporting the work she carries out with families each day. She also established the Radcliffe bereavement group, which now meets monthly at the funeral home and provides a supportive space for those who have experienced loss.

Emma continues in her role as funeral arranger at Radcliffe, and we thank her for her contribution over the past five years.

🎉 Celebrating Stuart’s 15 years with us🚗🖤

We are delighted to celebrate Stuart, our full‑time hearse driver at Derby, who has been part of our family company since 2011.

Originally from East London, Stuart began his career working with a funeral director specialising in Greek funerals and repatriations. He brought that experience to our team (no wonder he always requests halloumi at the Derby cheese nights!)

Stuart has become well‑known for his sense of humour, reliability and his daily care of the Derby fleet, including the hearse converted from Simon Cowell’s former car. When it first joined the fleet, Stuart’s involvement even made the national papers, and he’s driven it ever since.

Stuart, thank you for your dedication and the professionalism you bring to every funeral you support. We are proud to have you as part of the Derby team. 👏

This morning, Matthew Lymn Rose visited the BBC Radio Nottingham studio to discuss the City Council's recent decision to clear two cemeteries of overgrowth, uncovering hundreds of graves.

Both the General Nottingham Cemetery and Church Rock Cemetery have now been made accessible again, with the tidy up praised by historians who tour the Grade II listed sites, as well as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

While we recognise the importance of protecting local wildlife and habitats, we have backed the Council's decision today. The move not only helps to shine a light on Nottingham's rich history and heritage, but ultimately makes the site more accessible for families to visit these older graves.

You can listen to Matthew's interview here, from 2:25:18:

Start the day with trusted local news, sport and topical chat.

🎉 (A Slightly Belated!) Celebrating 5 Years of Paul at A.W. Lymn 🎉

Back in November, Paul reached his 5‑year anniversary with us but he has been a little hard to track down, so we are celebrating him now!

After a long career with Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue, Paul joined us looking for a new way to serve the public. A three‑day trial with Nev showed straight away that he was the perfect fit for our team.

Over the past five years, Paul has brought calm professionalism and teamwork to his role as a driver bearer, supporting families with care.

Alongside his work with us, he also continues to train firefighters in emergency vehicle driving, sharing the skills he has built over years of service.

Thank you, Paul, here is to your first five years, and many more ahead!

👏

Not all floral tributes have to be traditional 🌿

Watch Marie creating a truly one-of-a-kind tribute! Incorporating vegetables and salad items to reflect a personality, it’s a lovely reminder that a farewell can be personal, meaningful… and a little bit different.

As always, our talented floristry team approached it with care, creativity and respect 🤍

🎉 Celebrating 10 years of service - Neville Carridice “Nev” 🎉

Nev joined us in January 2016 as a casual Driver Bearer based in Nottingham, before quickly becoming full-time in May 2016.

In a short space of time, Nev proved himself to be someone the team could rely on without hesitation. His attitude and commitment led to his promotion to Senior Driver Bearer in September 2017, making him the key point of contact for driving staff at Nottingham and surrounding branches.

Nev is well known for always saying yes and for being happiest when he’s behind the wheel, particularly when that involves a long trip on our vintage Routemaster bus, bravely cruising along at 40mph, with no heating, no radio and absolutely no complaints!

He has been nominated for Best Practice more times than most, which comes as no surprise to anyone who knows him.

Thank you, Nev, for everything you do and for being such a valued part of the team.
