I could not recommend A W Lymn highly enough. Right from our first interaction they showed empathy and respect and were clear on what was going to happen and our options. This was the case for every single employee who we had interaction with.
Located on Burton Road, AW Lymn's Littleover branch opened in May 2017 and funeral arranger Dan Barnes is in charge of the office, along with senior funeral director Kevin Hall.
The premises offer a reception area, visitation rooms, family room, cold room facilities and a ritual washing area.
Dan is available to see clients from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, or at any other time by appointment – the telephone number operates 24 hours a day.
The office is called Meek House and is named after David and Shelagh Meek, both Littleover residents and long serving members of staff at A.W. Lymn. Husband and wife team David and Shelagh opened the main Derby office on Becket Street in 1985.
Nigel Lymn Rose, former president of the National Association of Funeral Directors’ manages A. W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, along with his sister Jackie and his son Matthew.

It has been an incredibly difficult time for my family and I after my dad passed onto glory in Nov 2021 but Dan at A.W. Lymn made it more bearable for us. He handled everything from start to finish professionally. He was compassionate in his service delivery, he was patient and he was super helpful and organised. He was simply exceptional. Not once did I doubt that things would not be ready on time even if we had less than 4 weeks to plan the funeral. It was smooth sailing and even where there were a few mishaps, he sorted it quickly. My dad was treated with dignity till the very end. The undertakers? Wow!!! Super respectful, their conduct touched me in ways I cant describe. I am so grateful and although I hope never to use them again, I will strongly recommend their services if you need one. Thank you Dan, thank you A.W, Lymn!!! God bless you all and may you be treated with the same dignity in life and in death as you treated my dear Dad. THANK YOU!!!

I couldn’t have asked for more from A.W Lymn. From the way they helped me to organise things, to the dignified and highly professional manner they carried out the funeral.

5Michael Lancaster17th Mar 2021
We were very impressed with the professional, courteous and respectful service we received from A W Lymn. We were able to get the options we required, and without being pushed to buy anything we did not. The whole process went smoothly and we were kept up to date at every step. We were especially impressed by the very fine hearse provided, and by the funeral director walking in front of the cortege, baton in hand for the first few hundred yards from my late father's house. Would definitely recommend A W Lymn.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
We are happy that you were impressed with the service you received along with the hearse and the funeral director. We also thank you for your recommendation and taking the time to post this positive review of A.W. Lymn. Dan.
5Elizabeth Cox9th Mar 2021
At the worst possible time in my life I found L W Lymn to be kind and sensitive, right from the moment when they took my partner from our home, where he died, to the day of his funeral and beyond.
They were often in touch regarding the funeral arrangements, just to make sure everything was as I wanted it to be. They arranged everything for me, from stunningly beautiful, fresh flower wreaths to a wonderful humanist celebrant, whose eulogy was perfect for my darling partner. I had a few visits to their premises in Littleover, to consult with Dan, the funeral arranger, who listened intently with interest and carried out every wish every step of the way. I can't recommend them highly enough. They made a very difficult time as calm and straightforward as possible. Well done team Lymn and thank you all. x
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for this positive review, recommendation and your kind words. I am glad that I was able to make this difficult time a little bit easier with my sensitivity and by keeping you well informed throughout. I am also pleased that you thought the flowers were wonderful and that the Celebrant was perfect. Thank you again Dan.

From the very first contact, right through to the day of the funeral, Dan in particular and A W Lymn in general have treated our family with the utmost respect, compassion and decency in this, our most difficult time.
