    We were disappointed not to have the flatbed lorry, he would have loved that other than that we found your services lovely, particularly Fiona she was brilliant and couldn't do enough to help, we are particularly pleased with her negotiation with Derby's Dale DC which enabled us to be all together for ever, that is very comforting, so thank you.

  • 5 Neil Bullivant 31st Aug 2021

    The job of organising my brother's funeral was made so much more easy due to the care and attention of Fiona Hall. Firstly for getting Kev back to Derby , and then pointing us in the right direction throughout the whole process. I would also like to thank the Celebrant , Richard Marshall , who made a great job of keeping the service light-hearted but serious at the same time.I would have no hesitation in recommending A.W. Lymn to anyone who has the daunting task of arranging a funeral.Thanks a million.


















    With much gratitude Neil Bullivant 31/08/2021.

    A.W. Lymn, Spondon Team replied

  • 5 Barbara Rozowiec 24th May 2021

    “Excellent, Professional and Caring Service.”
    I contacted Fiona at Lymns in Spondon after an online search to organise my mum’s funeral. I found that A.W. Lymn’s online brochure was very informative and reassuring, at a time that can be very overwhelming. Also my sister, who doesn’t live locally, was able to be involved in any choices made.
    Fiona could not have been more helpful and compassionate and she understood what we as a family wanted for my mum. She kept us fully informed at every stage and took time to clarify all of the arrangements. I cannot thank Fiona enough for the support she provided during this difficult time.
    The day of the funeral went smoothly and was professionally organised, removing any stress. Everyone commented on what a lovely touch the rose petals were at the end, as a last goodbye.
    I would highly recommend A.W. Lymn of Spondon, if you require a professional, caring and compassionate service.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive and detailed review of the service provided by Fiona and her team at Spondon. For a long time we have appreciated the significance of having our full services brochure available online and during the pandemic this has become even more important. We are glad that on this occasion it allowed you and your sister to make all the decisions about the funeral with both of you having the full information to hand. Thank you also for your recommendation, this is greatly appreciated.

  • 5 Dr Robert Hedley 25th Apr 2021

    My son and myself were very impressed by the service of the funeral directors of Lymn and Son of Spondon. They were very attentive with their service, their staff very well turned out and extremely caring, with coffin, flowers and funeral cars of the first order. I would highly recommend them.

    Dr Robert Hedley
