A.W. Lymn has raised almost £400k for Nottingham Hospitals Charity (NUH) through donations made at its funerals.
Over the last five years, the funeral provider has facilitated £392k worth of donations to NUH, which has been used across medical institutions in the local area to help improve patient care.
The sum forms part of a total of £4.5m collected by A.W. Lymn between 2018 and 2023 for more than 1,800 local and national charities and causes.
A.W. Lymn offers those organising a service the option of asking attendees to make a donation to a charity of their choice, instead of buying flowers.
Nigel Lymn Rose, company chairman of A.W. Lymn, said: “Charity has been a key part of our service at A.W. Lymn for many years, so being able to facilitate hundreds of thousands of pounds of donations for a Nottingham charity is fantastic – and reflects the very ethos of why we do what we do.
“Offering those organising a funeral the choice of donations in lieu of flowers is not only a simple and convenient way for them to support a cause which is close to their hearts, but also pay tribute to the person who has passed away.”
He added: “We are continually overwhelmed by the generosity of those who donate, and we hope that we can continue to facilitate these contributions.”
Nigel Gregory, chief executive of Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said: “We are extremely grateful to the whole team at A.W. Lymn for all of their ongoing support over the years. The team members across all of its branches are always eager to help.
“This is a truly incredible amount, which would not have been possible without the support that A.W. Lymn offers, both to the families it cares for through the funeral process, and to local charities like ours.”
He added: “We’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone at A.W. Lymn, and to all the families who have chosen to donate to Nottingham’s hospitals in lieu of flowers at their loved ones’ funerals. You have truly made a big difference to patient care in Nottingham.”
