Dan and the team were fantastic and worked with me to ensure the day was all about my mum, in every way. The quality of the planning, finding us just the right speaker, the care they gave to us on the day and the after care has been superb. It made the whole experience far from sad. They delivered all of her wishes without fault and I give a big shout out to the plume supplier who followed the cars to our house until it stopped raining to put them on the cars so they looked their best. Nothing was too big or too small for them.
I know who I am booking my own funeral with now :) thank you! x

Dan Barnes of A.W. Lymn Littleover was thoughtful, understanding and utterly professional in guiding us through a most difficult time. On the day of the funeral the staff were respectful and very kind to us all and they all looked smart and professional. We as a family would thoroughly recommend this family business.

We were extremely pleased with the service provided. The staff were thoughtful, compassionate, and empathetic, always willing to go the extra mile for us. Their professionalism was evident during each of our visits to the funeral parlour, and on the day of the funeral, everything was handled with great care and efficiency. They were punctual and offered support exactly where it was needed. The communication throughout the process was excellent. We would like to extend special thanks to Dan and Kevin for their unwavering support and dedication during this delicate time. We will certainly recommend your services to others in our community.

5Peter Budd28th Aug 2024
From our first meeting with Dan Barnes at A W Lymn, each step for organising the funeral was covered in detail. All options and costs were clearly explained. Their “Service Brochure” was an excellent source of information and ideas.
Despite a tight schedule, Dan pulled it all together on time.
At an emotionally difficult time, and with no knowledge of how to plan or arrange a funeral, it was such a relief to find that compassion and customer care can still be found.
We could not fault the service provided by Dan and all those at A W Lymn.
A.W. Lymn, Littleover Team replied

AW Lymn were professional, patient, helpful, caring and they listened.
They made the process of arranging a funeral service straightforward during a time of such sadness and stress, when your brain is haggled and your body is weak. Much appreciated.

At one of the most stressful times in your life, the staff at Lymn’s were faultless. Nothing too much trouble and with a smile when appropriate. Special thanks to Tracey Matthews (Celebrant) who made everything stress free on the day along with Kevin. This is the second time I have used Lymn’s in the last 6 months and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

A W Lymn provided an excellent service following the passing of my father.
Dan was very caring, supportive and professional regarding organising the funeral and all the required elements in between to make the day run smoothly. At a time that is so upsetting and stressful Dan and the drivers helped make the process much easier.
We are truly grateful for all your help and support and we would have no hesitation in recommending Lymn's Funeral Service.

Can't speak highly enough of the considerate and effective services they gave us.following my Dad's passing.
From the moving to the funeral home within 2 hours and the fully comprehensive and sensitive range of services offered and co ordinated it was absolutely top quality. I would highly recommend. Even member of staff (and I probably interacted with 10) all co ordinated through Dan in littleover were a pleasure to deal with. Co ordination with the church and vicar, the crematorium were all impeccable.
