    From our first contact with Dan at AWLymn, Littleover, to the funeral itself, all the arrangements were carried out in an efficient but compassionate manner. Dan was extremely helpful in guiding us in all our decisions, which resulted in a funeral service for our mother which was just as we wanted.
    Mick and his team transported my mother, and ourselves with enormous respect, gentleness and professionalism.

    Dan and the team at AW Lymn in Littleover, did an excellent job of guiding us through the process with care and compassion, and listened to what we wanted. The funeral was well organised, respectful and dignified. The wider family and friends were very complementary. Although it's an event you never want to have, it couldn't have been better and was a fitting tribute to our beloved family member. Thank you.

  • 5 Ravi Sahye 31st Dec 2024

    From the very start Daniel, Kevin, and everyone from AW Lymn were professional in the way they assisted me, my brother and my mother in helping us giving my father the very best send off we could've ever asked for.

    They were even able to accommodate my mother's request to have my father's Hindu last rites be performed at our home for her peace of mind and incorporate a Hindu Pandit his send off.

    Thank you for everything I could not recommend yourself and your company enough.

  • 5 Cheri-Ann Ward 2nd Dec 2024

    Dan and the team were fantastic and worked with me to ensure the day was all about my mum, in every way. The quality of the planning, finding us just the right speaker, the care they gave to us on the day and the after care has been superb. It made the whole experience far from sad. They delivered all of her wishes without fault and I give a big shout out to the plume supplier who followed the cars to our house until it stopped raining to put them on the cars so they looked their best. Nothing was too big or too small for them.

    I know who I am booking my own funeral with now :) thank you! x

    A.W. Lymn, Littleover Team replied
    Thank you for your kind words and this lovely review of our services. We are glad that we could be of assistance in helping to delivery a fitting send off for your mum. I will pass on your comments to all involved. Dan
