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.
Many families emphasize the attentiveness and willingness to help shown throughout the arrangement process, noting that staff members made themselves available to answer questions and handle requests without hesitation, even outside standard hours.
Families frequently mention that the funeral day itself proceeded smoothly and professionally, with staff members conducting themselves with calm dignity and ensuring that all agreed arrangements were carried out correctly and on time.
Several families describe how the combination of professional expertise and genuine compassion made what they experienced as an overwhelming and emotional process feel manageable and easier to navigate.

The care and attention that Andy at your Bottesford branch showed me during the preparation for my wife's funeral was exceptional.

5Wendy Hall24th Jun 2025
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. The support provided by the wider Lymms team was so professional and supportive.
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.

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.
