A W Lymn Opening Their Sixth Branch “ Meek House ” In Littleover …
The building the company has purchased , is the old Derbyshire Building Society on Burton Road in Littleover village .
The building requires significant redevelopment to customise it to the company ’ s high standard and will hopefully include two chapels of rest , ritual washing facilities , an arranging room and car parking . The plans are being submitted to the council within the next few weeks in the hope that work can start as soon as they are approved .
The business was originally started by Arthur William Lymn and his son Harold in 1907 , and expanded from its base in Nottingham to the centre of Derby in the early 1980 ’ s with the purchase of Derwent House on Beckett Street . At this time , David Meek joined the firm as the Derby Funeral Director and was joined a few years later by his wife Shelagh who became the Funeral Arranger . David officially retired in 2011 and still works on a casual basis for the company sadly Shelagh passed away in 2013
The Family Funeral Service are delighted to be opening their sixth branch in the South Derbyshire area .
The Littleover branch will be named Meek House in recognition of David and Shelagh ’ s connection with the Littleover area , and the service they have both given to the company for over three decades . For more information regarding the new branch in Littleover and other offices in Nottinghamshire and South Derbyshire .
The sixth A W Lymn branch , “ Meek House ” in Littleover , ready for complete renovation to their usual high standard .
Families throughout Nottingham , Derby , Mansfield and the surrounding area have had funerals taken care of by Lymns and the firm intends to carry on doing so in the same dignified way for many years to come .
