The priest was excellent and the service very appropriate under the circumstances. We were so pleased to be able to view the funeral on video as it was impossible for us as family to travel to the UK for the funeral.

    We were very impressed with the funeral director Dan Barnes. He always rang when he said he would. He was very patient with us when we had to keep phoning up to check things and was very efficient in arranging everything, and with emails etc. We really appreciate all the hard work he did for us.

  • 5 Laragh Taylor 19th Apr 2020

    Dan and the whole AW Lymn team have been supportive and professional. Highly recommended 

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    It was with great sadness to hear that David, a friend of mine for over 40 years and a colleague for most of that, died on the seventh anniversary of the death of Shelagh who also worked for our family company in the latter part of her life. David always had a warm and friendly smile and I know that Dan, Kevin and all the staff IN our Derby area remember his with great fondness and were saddened by his death. We deeply regret that due to the COVID pandemic such restrictions had to be placed on the numbers attending his funeral but we will all remember him for his lovely friendly manner. Thank you on behalf of both the Lymn Rose family and the greater family of which David was a part being A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service.

    From the moment we first made contact  with A W Lymn we felt heard, supported and respected.
    Every thought and wish we had for my parents funeral was honoured by them.
    The staff were wonderful, thoughtful and intuitive which at a sad and difficult time is so very important.
    The chapel of rest and ease of access to it was so very special. 
    My parents had a beautiful send off,  and we can do nothing but highly recommend them.

    Thank you for these positive words, they are much appreciated and we are glad that we could accommodate all your wishes and give Mr. and Mrs. Camwell a fitting send off. I also appreciate your recommendation. Thank you, Dan.
