About Us

A.W. Lymn’s Bottesford funeral home, based at William Roberts House on the High Street, opened in May 2024 as the company’s first branch in Leicestershire. The premises were previously home to estate agents Richard Watkinson and have been fully refurbished to include modern, state-of-the-art facilities, such as a private arranging room and a peaceful Chapel of Rest.

The branch is managed by Funeral Arranger Andy McFeeters, who brings energy, empathy and life experience to his role following a career in tennis coaching. Andy is proud to uphold A.W. Lymn’s century-long tradition of compassionate and professional funeral care.

The funeral home continues the legacy of Marion Roberts, who served the Bottesford and Vale of Belvoir community for over 30 years. After taking over from her father-in-law, the well-known local builder and funeral director Bill Roberts, Marion provided dedicated care until her retirement in 2020. Rather than close the doors, she chose to pass on the William Roberts name, with her blessing, first to M.A. Mills Funeral Service and now to A.W. Lymn.

This branch is ideally situated for those in Bottesford, Allington Gardens, Allington, Alverton, Aslockton, Barnstone, Barrowby, Casthorpe, Denton, Easthorpe, Elton, Flawborough, Foston, Granby, Grantham, Great Gonerby, Harby, Harlaxton, Harston, Hawksworth, Kilvington, Knipton, Langar, Marston, Muston, Normanton, and Orston.

Part of A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, a fifth-generation family business established in 1907, the Bottesford team is committed to delivering dignified, personalised support to local families.

  • 5 Helen Miller 29th Jun 2025

    Excellent service nothing to much trouble.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Helen and family, thank you for your kind words and entrusting us with the arrangements. We are pleased to have been of assistance to you at a difficult time and wish you all the best. Edward and Andy

    In such dreadful circumstances and such a sudden need for services Andy couldn’t have been more kind, thoughtful, helpful, he just simply provided the best support that I could have wished for albeit I’d have preferred not to need his services at all.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you, Wendy, for your kind comments. It has been a real privilege helping with the arrangements for Vaughan’s funeral and I am so pleased everything went well on the day. His life was celebrated with a church bursting at the seams and in 7 different countries via live stream. He was obviously held in such high regard and I am sure your ‘Memories’ book is full. The boys and the other family bearers did such a wonderful job. Andy.
  • 5 Richard Hunt 20th Jun 2025

    Competent, (which is what you want).

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you very much for this review. I am pleased everything was satisfactory on the day and that your mother was given a fitting farewell by family, friends and her local church community. Andy.
  • 5 Jennifer Hellen 15th Jun 2025

    The staff are, professional, empathetic, friendly and calming in a time of high emotions. We couldn't have asked for more from them.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you, Jennifer, for your kind words. The full church, lovely weather, beautiful flowers, and coloured clothes – a fitting tribute for your mother who was obviously so well thought of by family and community alike. Andy.
  • 5 Stephen Smart 14th Jun 2025

    A W Lymn in general, and Andy who runs the Bottesford office in particular, were great throughout the process. From the initial conversation through to the actual burial they remained engaged and ensured we were supported through this difficult time. First class service, I would recommend them to anyone.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to offer such positive feedback. It was a real privilege to have assisted with planning for your father’s funeral, and I am so pleased everything went well on the day. How lovely it was to have the poems, so beautifully written by your father, read by the grandchildren. Take care of yourselves, Andy.
  • 5 Joy Bateson 4th Jun 2025

    Andy was both professional and knowledgeable in all aspects to do with the funeral arrangements for my Mum. 
    I dealt with Andy mainly but I know from all my family, they were so pleased we asked Andy at AWLymm to deal with this. He made a most difficult time seem 
    easy as he led me through the procedure, which was made more difficult because my Mother had only been moved to the latest Care Home two days prior to her death. As such the Coroner and Medical Examiner were both involved making this a lengthy process. I would also like to thank Edward, the Funeral Director for calming the nerves of the six Grandchildren as he instructed them on being ‘Bearers’ and for his help on the day. 
    Thankyou Andy, once again for your help and continued support. 
    Joy 

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you Joy. I am pleased everything went so well on the day, after such a challenging time for you all. It was lovely to see so many people attending the Chapel that was such a big part of your mother’s life. A very fitting farewell, and 6 grand-children bearing the coffin in was special too. Thank you, Andy & Edward.
  • 5 Natalie Watson 7th May 2025

    Andy was fantastic. He made a very sad time feel comfortable and stress free. Nothing was too much trouble. So grateful for his kind words and direction. On the day every member of the team were exemplary. Thank you x

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for taking the time to write such lovely comments. It was a real privilege to help you and your Mum and the rest of the family at such a sad time. I am so pleased that everything went perfectly on the day, and didn’t the sun shine for him! Andy.
  • 5 Dawn Carlile 29th Mar 2025

    At such an emotional time, losing a loved one, the calm, kind, compassionate support that Lymn's Funeral Director, Andrew McFeeters gave to us was very much appreciated. There is much to think about arranging a funeral, at a time when you are trying to make sense of the over whelming feelings of grief.
    Thank you Lymn's for helping us through this . The Hart Family

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for this kind comment, and what an honour it was to assist with the funeral arrangements for your mother who had spent her whole life in Bottesford and given such great service to the local community. I’m pleased everything went well and the sun shined for you all on the day. Andy.
  • 5 Jane Kilby 23rd Dec 2024

    From start to finish, you have been more than understanding. Everything was organised very smoothly, making it easier for me to deal with.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for the review. It was an absolute privilege to help you with the arrangements for Tracey who was so well-liked in the local community. I’m pleased everything went well on the day as a fitting tribute to an ‘inspiring’ lady. Andy.
  • 5 Tim Waite 23rd Dec 2024

    Exceptional service from Andy throughout. Kind, caring and thoroughly professional. Thank you Lymns

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for the kind review. I’m pleased it all went so well on the day. Andy.
  • 5 Andrew Buxton 17th Dec 2024

    This was my first experience of arranging a funeral and was somewhat apprehensive about the journey and the experience of it.

    We dealt with Andy McFeeters who is the Funeral Arranger at the Lymm's Bottesford office. I found Andy to be sincere and genuine. Andy guided us carefully through this difficult journey.

    All arrangements that had been agreed were carried out correctly and on time.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for the kind comments. I am pleased that everything went so well and that we were able to help you on what, as you say, can be a difficult journey. Andy.
  • 5 Clare Chantrey 14th Dec 2024

    Andy at the Bottesford branch carefully guided us through this very emotional experience with kindness and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble and he paid attention to every detail, making the painful process so much easier. The team on the day of the funeral were excellent too. Thank you Andy and team. 

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for your lovely comments. From the outset it was clear how well loved Colin was, by his family and friends, and it was a real honour to help guide you through the process at a very sad time for all the family. Andy
  • 5 Heather Morley 10th Dec 2024

    The whole process was so much easier with Andy to guide us.
    Excellent service throughout

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for your kind comments. It really was a privilege to assist the family with the arrangements. I’m pleased it went well on the day, including Joe driving his aunt to church. Sue and Neil from the Gospel Hall were a pleasure to work with as they were so committed to giving Colleen a respectful and fitting service. Andy.
  • 5 Lyne Pearce 12th Nov 2024

    Great professional service, very friendly and approachable.
    Nothing was too much trouble for them.

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thanks, Lyne, for the kind words. From comments I have had, I know how popular John was in the village and it was a privilege to assist with arrangements for his service. Andy.
  • 5 Sally Goodman 11th Oct 2024

    The staff at the Bottesford office, particularly Andy McFeeters, were throughout the entire process caring, kind and professional. 
    We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending A. W. Lymn. 

    A.W. Lymn, Bottesford Team replied
    Thank you for your thoughtful comments. It was lovely to meet the family, albeit under sad circumstances, and a real honour to assist with arrangements for your father’s service. I’m pleased everything went so well on the day. Andy
  • 5 Jacqui Hawkins 6th Sep 2024
