Looked after dad with such grace and dignity. On the day of dad's funeral Russel who looked after us was so nice, they bought dad home and did a drive by his place of work, they did so much and made a very hard day into a beautiful one.

Denise Roberts 8th Nov 2021

We felt we were in very capable hands. From beginning to end you guided us through every step and so on the day of the funeral everything ran so smoothly. We would certainly recommend your first class service.

Linda Dawson 6th Nov 2021

About Us

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.

A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service is managed by Nigel, Matthew and Jackie Lymn Rose, who are keeping the family tradition in providing the best service for bereaved families since 1907.

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    I am so pleased that the service we provided to you was the best it could be for a hard day. It was great to see at least 120 people at the service which proved that Trevor was such a popular and well respected man and I thought the inclusion of the VW campervan hearse really personalised the service. Thank you, Russ.

  • 5 John Landon 29th Oct 2021

    The only comment we would like to make is attention to detail when dressing... mum's buttons on her cardigan were not buttoned up properly which I had to address as she was a very meticulous dresser.. just a point to think on for future reference, apart from that everything was perfect.. thank you.. staff very helpful and kind




    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    We are pleased that you thought all went perfect with the service we provided for the funeral, other than the buttons on the cardigan of course. We are sorry that you felt disappointed with this. We have taken this on board for the future so thank you for this constructive feedback. Russ.

    From the first moment of contacting Lymn's everything has been handled in such a caring, professional, loving and safe manner. Nothing has been too much trouble for them, there has never been any rush over anythingand the funeral went so very smoothly. I was so well looked after on the day and felt very safe. I can not thank the whole team enough for looking after not only my dear husband but also myself and family and friends. A truly dedicated, hardworking team. Thank you all so very, very much.

  • 5 Linda Scott 12th Oct 2021

    The service provided by Lymns was excellent, a date was arranged with a quick turn around and whilst initially I worried whether everything would be sorted in time, it soon became clear that everything was under control. The teamwork shown on the day was second to none and each member of staff involved played their part respectfully. The celebrant suggested (Anja) was  professional and the perfect person for the job. Thanks to everyone involved on the day including Emma and Beryl.

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Thank you for such lovely words for the team at Arnold and I am glad you were happy with the choice of celebrant. Emma
