Excellent service from the first phone call. Professional, helpful and respectful. I would not anywhere else in the event of a bereavement. Thank you to all the staff, especially Ellie and Russell.

Cherie Shelley 13th Nov 2020

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish. I’ve never had to organise a funeral before and Ellie made it so easy for me. The funeral itself was everything me and my dad could have wished for. Thank you for making a difficult time that much easier,

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.

    Thank you your professionalism .care and kindness has been outstanding through what has been the most difficult time of my life a special thank you to Ellie and Nigel.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    I was saddened and shocked to hear of Geoffrey’s death but honoured that you, Susan, elected to use the services of our family company. I am sorry that the Covid19 restrictions limited the number that could be in St Swithun’s church and as such many did not hear the lovely service and in particular the fabulous eulogy. I am pleased that the services provided by our family company, and Ellie and I, proved helpful at this so difficult time. Thank you for the kind review
