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.

Everything went really well. There was just one thing, I asked for 5ft flowers and they were 3ft 6.
Many thanks
Jules
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Jules, thank you for kind words about the service provided by our team at Derby, we are pleased that everything went well for you. We are however saddened to hear that you have concerns over the size of the floral tribute. On investigating this for you today the florists have provide me with photographs and it does appear that the tribute was 5ft as it should have been, but clearly this does not overcome your disappointment with it and for that we are very sorry. If you would like to discuss this further with us then please do not hesitate to contact the team at Derby or myself. Thank you.

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.
5Brian Scaife24th 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.
5Stephen Winter11th Jul 2016
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
5Bernadette Roberts2nd Jul 2016
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.

The staff at Lymm's were caring and professional from the first phone call to the time we collected my mother's remains. They showed great understanding and empathy with all our family. Special thanks go to Kevin who guided us throughout this difficult time. The family would also like to send special thanks to the Rev. James Lindsay.
