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.

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.

Located in the heart of Derby city centre, Derwent House on Becket Street has been proudly serving the local community since 1986, when it was first opened by respected funeral director David Meek. Originally a car garage, the building was transformed into a funeral home and continues to offer compassionate support to families from Derby and beyond.
Today, Derwent House serves as the base for Senior Funeral Director Kevin Hall, who has been with A.W. Lymn since 2003 and manages services across the wider Derby area. Kevin is joined by Funeral Director Mick Schofield, who recently transferred from the Ilkeston funeral home, bringing with him a wealth of experience and local knowledge. Funeral Arranger Greg Martin, who has recently earned his Diploma in Funeral Directing from the National Association of Funeral Directors, is also based at this funeral home and provides kind, professional support to families every day.
Derwent House is equipped with specialist washing facilities to support Asian and African-Caribbean funeral rites. The building also houses garaging for the Derby fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantom funeral vehicles, including a converted hearse formerly owned by Simon Cowell, and features a historic horse-drawn hearse from the 1890s.
This location serves the entire Derby area, including Allestree, Alvaston, Belper, Breadsall, Chaddesden, Darley Abbey, Duffield, Littleover, Mackworth, Markeaton, Osmaston, Pride Park, Sinfin, Spondon, and surrounding communities.
A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service was founded in 1907 by Arthur William Lymn and is now proudly led by the fourth fifth generation of the Lymn Rose family who continue to uphold the family’s long-standing commitment to dignity, professionalism and exceptional care.

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.
