We would thoroughly recommend A.W.Lymn, Derby. They were sensitive & professional from the outset. We were well supported through all aspects by Kevin.  He made sure that everything ran smoothly & made a sad time less stressful. 

Brian Scaife 24th Jul 2016

An excellent service all round. More than helpful and supportive they are very thoughtful and respectful and will endeavour to meet all requirements. This company will go the extra mile for you and your passed loved ones, so much more than other funeral directors. I can't praise them enough for all they have done for me through this difficult time.

Excellent and professional service especially by Kevin Hall who was sensitive to the family's needs but practical in his approach.  Lisa Bonito Day the Independent Celebrant was fantastic

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.

    I chose A W Lymn because I thought their website looked very professional and the service my family and I got from Pippa and Kevin supported that thought. Pippa was professional and explained everything clearly and in detail, nothing was too much trouble.Kevin was professional and thoughtful on the day of the funeral, allowing us the time which we needed to begin our grieving process.Stephen Wakeling conducted the "Celebration of Life" in a very empathic manner. We would highly recommend this funeral company.
