A W Lymn The Craftsmen in Stone

A W Lymn The Craftsmen in Stone Family run stonemasons based in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Still run as a sister company under the control of one of A. W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service.

Welcome to A W Lymn The Craftsmen in Stone (Formerly Ernest Smith)

In the 1950’s Arthur William Lymn’s son Harold decided that he would like to expand on the service currently offered to clients at the time of a bereavement to include the provision of a memorial stone following the funeral and so, in partnership with Mr Ernest Smith, founded Ernest Smith, The Craftsmen in Stone. Lymn's great, great grandchildren, we continue to produce high quality work across the East Midlands. Our aim is to make it easy for you to choose a memorial stone that is a fitting tribute to your loved one. Whether you choose a churchyard style memorial in a honed, matt finish, or one of our modern highly polished stones as the perfect background for your message of remembrance, you can depend on our commitment to quality. Included on this website is a range of specially selected memorials which have been specifically designed for clients of A. All of the memorials shown are fully priced and include a number of sandblasted letters, as shown in the text for each design, as well as fitting the memorial in a local burial ground by the current approved method, any flower containers as shown with a bunch of fresh seasonal flowers in each vase at the time of fixing and VAT at the current rate. The 'Our Charges; tab details the cost of any additional items that you may wish to select. We can however design and manufacture anything else to accommodate your wishes. If you would like to discuss a new memorial, are interested in renovating or adding an additional inscriptions to an existing memorial, or merely want some professional friendly advice, we are accessible through Sharon Allen, Amy Hodkinson or myself at our showroom on Bath Street, Nottingham, on 0115 911 4411, or via your local funeral director at any of the offices of A. Alternatively, if required, we can arrange a no obligation visit to your home. Ben Percival

Direct cremation is growing in popularity in the UK, and the Good Funeral Guide CIC is keen to learn more as the funeral and bereavement landscape changes. There is very little research in this area, and we really want to understand more about any impact, positive or negative, that direct cremation....

A blue dinosaur for a baby boy 🦕

This family came to us asking for this specific dinosaur image, we vectorised the image to create a workable stencil and then painted with acrylics & lacquered for more durability 🎨

Also added a playful child-like font to give more personalisation to the memorial, finished with a peacock blue sign writers enamel paint for the ultimate durability.

Young Entrepreneur Ben over at Guardians of the Headstones visits A.W. Lymn The Craftsmen in Stone:

We recently welcomed 10-year-old Ben from Ilkeston, Derbyshire, who started a business cleaning gravestones
after noticing neglected memorials during a visit to his grandmother’s grave. Accompanied by his grandfather, Ben
learned from our team, with Joe explaining fixing methods and lettering techniques, and Mick sharing his extensive
stonemasonry experience.
Ben also shared his approach to cleaning and permit regulations, impressing us with his dedication. He donates 10%
of his earnings to Stevie Stones, a charity providing headstones for families in need. His mother’s Facebook post about
his work has received widespread support.
We wish Ben every success in preserving memories.

The Lymn Rose family, Sarah and the team wish you and your family a lovely Christmas.
