An exceptional service from beginning to end. Many thanks for all of your help. You turned a potentially nerve-wracking task into a smooth, calm and fitting farewell to our dear mother.
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.

From start to finish a very professional service was given. Wonderful organising skills that took the worry out of making the funeral arrangements. Everything was explained in great detail.

A. W. Lymn - Arnold - Nottingham. The staff who we spoke with, mainly Ellie Carr and Beryl were excellent and took every care to ensure the sad occasion of my fathers funeral ran smoothly and efficiently. Similarly on the day of the funeral the representatives from A. W. Lymn were also very efficient, yet extremely personable. As I am sure anyone reading this review would also be interested in pricing, then having done some prior research we found their charges fair and competitive.
They simply took care of everything. Would highly recommend.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for your kind and detailed review and your recommendation. We are pleased that the team at Arnold took care of everything for you at this sad time and that you found everyone to be both efficient and personable.

5Janet Marshall21st Apr 2018
Ellie was very caring and understanding with all our family members while making the arrangements and any other details/ questions we had.. Beryl and Russell ensured a very smooth reception into Church and , celebration of life [ funeral] .
I would recommend Lymns [Arnold team] to anyone . During the sad time of Dad dying we had complete confidence that Lymns would do everything to ensure Dad's funeral/ celebration of life was undertaken with dignity and empathy .
Everyone loved the London bus .

The service provided by A W Lymn at a very distressing time was absolutely superb. Every stage from the initial meeting with Richard (on call from the Beeston office), the administrative arrangements made by Ellie and Beryl (at the Arnold office), through to the drivers and pallbearers on the day of the funeral was handled in an extremely professional and emphatic manner. A special thanks to Nigel Lymn Rose for his support and understanding on a most difficult day.

5Patricia Storey15th Apr 2018
At a time when your brain is scrambled and you can't think straight, Ellie at Lymn's in Arnold made everything very easy. She didn't rush any decisions and explained everything sympathetically and knowledgeably. I thank her for that.
Also want to mention the two drivers of our funeral cars who couldn't have been nicer to us. Kind and very respectful they are certainly an asset to A J Lymn. Unfortunately do not have their names.

Chloe Lymn Rose replied
