Phenomenal, personal support. From the initial telephone conversation. Care was taken so all communication went through the amazing Kaitlyn. Down to Neil’s empathic support during our brother service.

A very well run organisation. Great attention to detail and great staff.

For the second time in six months our family lost a relative; the second of my wife's parents left suddenly. We had been to Lymns of Derby for the funeral of my wife's mother in July/August last year when she passed away, and were so impressed by their experience and caring, honest & helpful attitudes that there was really no question of going to someone else. And again they did us proud. Both Neil the funeral director and Kaitlan the arranger went out of their way to provide everything we would need, and kept us up to date with every development in the process. Their kindness & down to earth humanity helped us through the sadness & loss-yet they never lost their sense of professionalism. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lymns of Derby especially Neil & Kaitlan, but also the drivers/bearers who looked after us on both funeral days. All the staff we met have an amazing attitude & pride in the service they provide, and we would like say a huge heartfelt thanks to everyone there. From all of the family of the late John & Doris Kilner, our sincere thanks to you all at Lymns of Derby.

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.
