A.W. Lymn Derby

5 Maureen Gray 7th Jul 2026

We would like to express our sincere thanks to AW Lymn Derby for the exceptional care, compassion and professionalism they showed our family following the death our Father.

This is the second time we have used AW Lymn Derby for a family funeral and we chose them again after the care and compassion they showed when looking after our Mum in October 2025.

Arranging the funeral of your loved one is a very emotional event and one that we never want to do but thanks to the team at AW Lymn Derby they make sure that they put the family at the centre and heart of everything they do.

We dealt with Greg at Derby and he was great in reassuring us that Dad would be looked after and kept us updated on every process of the journey.

When arranging a funeral there is a lot decisions and correspondence to deal with and we had every confidence that Greg was on top of everything and made sure we were updated along the way and responded to emails and phone calls in a prompt and efficient manner.

Greg was open to the changes we requested with aspects of the order of service until we were happy with the final version of the funeral stationery.

We requested Greg to lead Dads funeral because he had met Dad previously when we were arranging Mums Funeral and Dad liked Greg and we thought it was a fitting final tribute that Greg would be able to take Dad on his final journey.

Greg did a great job ensuring that everyone was in the right place at the right time and ensured the timings for the Church Service and at the Crematorium were met without any delays, quite a job with amount of people who attended Dads Final Journey.

A special Thank You to Kevin and Stuart who assisted Greg on the day of the funeral who are both a credit to AW Lymn Derby. They drove Hearse and Family car with respect and ensured we arrived at the Church on time and finally at the Crematorium.

As family we certainly felt that everything was on a personal level and there was never any pressure on the decisions we made for Dads Funeral.

As a family we highly recommend AW Lymn to look after your loved ones when the need arises.

Thanks Greg for all your help and support you gave us during my mother's funeral and after. I felt relaxed when I seen you there because you did my sons funeral 5 years ago, thanks again Greg

5 Stuart Gwinnutt 22nd Feb 2026

I cannot rate A W Lymn more highly.
My sister’s funeral was slightly unusual, as we had a service in Derby and a committal in Northumberland. It was clear from the outset that nothing was too much trouble; everything was meticulously planned, with compassion, which was a great relief to the family. A W Lymn ensured that my sister had the send-off she deserved. 
Special thanks go to Matthew, Greg Martin and Mick Schofield. 

5 Karen Starlin 28th Jan 2026

So incredibly friendly. All our wishes were respected and the service was honest and heartwarming without being saccharine. Greg was an absolute superstar, Richard, our Officiant was warm and his  understanding of our father’s personality clearly communicated. Whilst Keith added both dignity and grace to the funeral. The whole family were very impressed with the compassion and level of communication not only in the planning, the day itself but also when collecting Dad’s ashes. Thank you for ensuring that the day was perfect in every way possible by truly listening and being so accommodating. 

5 Jill Revill 23rd Jan 2026

I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from A W Lymn. We were let down by another funeral director and therefore Lymns had to step in at short notice. Greg was amazing, saw us the same day, took the stress off my shoulders and put everything in place to give the send off the family wanted for my mum.

5 Shakira Marlin 23rd Dec 2025

Absolutely wonderful team, thank you so much to all the staff. A big thank you to Greg at Derby branch, who helped with arranging and conducting the funeral. Professional, empathetic, supporting and overall outstanding. Made this whole experience much more easier to deal with. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, God Bless you all.

Thank you to the team at A W Lymn for the care and support given to us as a family as we arranged the Funeral for our beautiful Mum.
Greg was very professional, compassionate, supportive, attentive and informative and helped us to arrange for Mum to have the most wonderful and loving final journey.
It was very comforting to know that Mum was looked after by such a caring company.
Greg managed the communication between the Church and the Crematorium and nothing was too much trouble and whenever we needed to ask questions then Greg responded without any unnecessary delays either by email or telephone.

On the day itself Kevin the funeral director was very professional and ensured that we arrived at the Church and Crematorium on time.
Thank you also to Chris who drove the hearse and to Caroline who drove the family car for their support on the day.
The funeral cars which were both Rolls Royce’s and really added that extra special touch for Mum to ensure that her final journey was truly special.
The flowers from the in-house florist for the coffin spray were lovely even down to the special request for Black Watch Tartan ribbon to be weaved into the flowers - this was just perfect.
We also asked Greg design and print the Order of Service and Memorial Cards and these were a perfect tribute to Mum.
As a family we would highly recommend Greg and the team at Lymn's to take care of your loved ones.

Greg was excellent leading us through the arrangements at a difficult time with sensitivity. Our family have always used Lymns but this was the first time I was the one making the arrangements. Greg was wonderful. The team on the day made sure everything went smoothly and all the family were cared for. Thanks to the whole team.
