Having never organised a funeral before I was uncertain what to expect. As I don’t live in Derby my first contact was with Greg by phone, when we met I immediately had a rapport and felt comfortable asking him anything. Everything was handled professionally and sympathetically by Greg when planning it all and then by Neil and the rest of the team on the day. All mums’ wishes came to fruition and for that I am extremely grateful.

This is the second time we have used AW Lymn. Could not have had a better experience. Greg was amazing, we had everything we wanted. The Funeral went very smooth and was everything we asked for. Would highly recommend. Thank you all for your hard work, great communication and professionalism. Hopefully not see you again for a while. Karen.

ALL the staff at A W Lymn that we interacted with, were compassionate, friendly and professional. Their empathy at this difficult and sad time was wonderful. Greg, our primary arranger, went above and beyond to ensure my father’s funeral really reflected him and his life. He was always there to answer all my questions, big and small! Thank you

About Us
A.W. Lymn's Derby office was originally opened by funeral director David Meek in 1986 and the premises are located in the City Centre, at Derwent House, on Becket Street.
The office features garaging for a new fleet of Rolls Royce Phantom cars and also displays a hearse from the 1890’s. Derwent House includes a reception, off-street parking, a family room, a visitation room, cold room facilities and washing facilities for Asian and African / Caribbean funeral rites.
Kevin Hall, the senior funeral director who manages the surrounding area, has been with A W Lymn since 2003 and is aided at the branch by funeral director Neil Reeves and funeral arranger Greg Martin.
The office opening hours are 9 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 12.30 pm on Saturday. You can call anytime of the day, seven days a week to schedule an appointment outside of these hours if you would prefer.
This branch covers Derby city centre and its surrounding areas including Allestree, Alvaston, Belper, Breadsall, Chaddesden, Darley Abbey, Duffield, Littleover, Mackworth, Markeaton, Osmaston, Pride Park, Sinfin, Spondon and beyond.
Nigel Lymn Rose along with his son Matthew and his sister Jackie own and manage A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service.
