Olivia Cotterill Wilson and Isabel Walton

Nottingham’s independent fifth-generation family funeral firm, A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, has revealed that two of its embalmers have passed the British Institute of Embalming (BIE) examinations – a three-year long, nationally recognised qualification, taking the company’s total of fully qualified embalmers to ten.

Olivia Cotterill Wilson MBIE, 22, senior embalmer, and Isabel Walton MBIE, 23, embalmer, have worked at A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service for a total of 11 years, in the Nottingham branch.

For three years, Cotterill Wilson and Walton have been attending classes in Telford, Shropshire, studying for five theory exam papers, one none-autopsy and one autopsy practical exam. The studying has been completed on a part-time basis, while the pair have been working in their full-time roles in embalming.

Cotterill Wilson explained: “We were both thrilled when we passed our theory exams, they were very challenging. When we plucked up the courage to take our practical, and then passed, we were over the moon. It was such a relief that after four years, we passed it.

“Being a part of the BIE means a lot to us. It’s a highly respected organisation that recognises the need for the job that we do. As an Embalmer, we think it’s very important to be a part of this group.”
