St. Albans House, situated in Arnold, was opened in 1996 by Alison Maddaford, the president of the National Association of Funeral Directors at the time, and extended during late 2012. It is now run by Russell Kemp who has a very good knowledge of Arnold’s people, ministers, churches and customs. Russell gained his Diploma qualification with the National Association of Funeral Directors and is assisted by our funeral arranger Jessica Raynor. Beryl Spencer and Jodie Ruth are the receptionists / administrators.
A.W. Lymn's Arnold branch features a parking area, reception, two private reception rooms, two visitation rooms and also a visitation suite with an adjoining room where the family can spend time in private. There are also cold room facilities and a small memorial showroom.
Russell, Jessica, Beryl and Jodie will be more than pleased to offer any assistance you require, whether this is ’at need’, or simply an enquiry for the future. The funeral home is open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday. All A.W. Lymn funeral homes are also open at any time by appointment and the telephone line is available every day of the week, 24 hours a day.
This branch covers all of Arnold and the surrounding areas including Calverton, Daybrook, Epperstone, Killisick, Lambley, Lowdham, Oxton, Redhill, Woodthorpe and beyond.

4Roger Hale15th Jun 2021
Well organised, pleasant efficient people to deal with. Unfortunately there was a cock-up with one of the pieces of music in the service which was not the fault of the funeral directors. Only other criticism of the funeral was that the sound quality at the Gedling Crematory was poor (which was my choice of venue)
Jackie Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to review our services, it was most unfortunate that an incorrect piece of music was downloaded and that you found the sound quality to be poor, a matter that we will raise with the crematorium .

5Julie Grant6th Jun 2021
I am really happy with the services from A W Lynn. All dealt with me compassionately and with great care at what was a very difficult time. Never having to have dealt with a funeral before Emma talked me through everything involved from registering the death, ensuring my mum was looked after at the funeral parlour, requirements for the cremation, choosing the Celebrant and sorting out the charity donations which we had instead of flowers. She was with me every step of the way and couldn't have been more caring and helpful. Mark, who looked after us at the service and the bearers were so good and very respectful. The Celebrant who was chosen for me was so kind and considerate and brilliant with my dad who was obviously in great distress at losing is wife of 62 years.
All in all they made a dreadful day so much more bearable. Thank you.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
Julie, thank you for such lovely words of feedback, it was an honour to look after you ensuring Mum received the final send-off she deserved and I am glad you felt supported all the way through the process. I knew Victoria would be the perfect choice to look after the service and help Dad say that last goodbye. Thank you, Emma.
5Karen Slater5th Jun 2021
Have used Lymns twice now. They treat you like you are the only one going through a bereavement. The service they give is outstanding.
A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
I am so pleased that you felt the service was outstanding. I was only sorry I could not follow this through due to being on annual leave however I’m glad that Mark was able to look after you on the day. Thank you, Russ.
