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.

Having never organised a funeral before I was uncertain what to expect. Dan was very informative & gave us time which allowed us to make our personal choices.Everything was handled professionally and sympathetically by Dan & the funaral directors esp Neil.No question or request was to much. Thank you

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.
Thank you to all the team at AW Lymn.

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.

Very grateful for everything.

5Vernal Cooper29th Aug 2023
I found Dan to be good in that he had developed a relationship with the family from meeting him at the funeral planning phase which made things easier, meeting him again at the time of my father's death. He was very professional throughout and even if he missed a call he would respond back or email and supported us as a family through the process.
The day went really well and the relationship they have developed with the church was second to none
