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 care and attentiveness shown by staff throughout the planning process and on the day itself, describing how they were guided gently through arrangements and made to feel supported during a difficult time.
Several families return to the smooth organization of the funeral day, noting how events ran according to plan and commenting on the professionalism of those involved in conducting the service.
A number of reviews mention how nothing seemed too much trouble, with staff readily available to answer queries and accommodate requests, however small, helping to ease what families describe as an emotional and overwhelming experience.

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.

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.

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.

5Dawn Carlile29th 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

5Andrew Buxton17th 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.
