My family have been comforted by the excellent service A.W.Lymn have so patiently provided.   We felt our beloved mother was treated with the utmost respect, during a very difficult time.  Patience and a professional approach worked very well for us all round.  Our requests have been met to the full.  Thank you to all the staff at Arnold Branch and the City Branch for your attention to detail.

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.

  • 5 Andy Torr 3rd Apr 2018

    Sensitive and empathetic guidance throughout the booking and arrangements process, and in dealing with any subsequent queries I had prior to the funeral itself. All aspects of the funeral were handled with discreet professionalism, both by the Lymns team themselves and by the excellent civil celebrant, Keith Brown, who they had recommended to me and who went to immense trouble both before and on the day to provide a lovely farewell for Mum that could have not have been more fitting for her, or indeed for myself. Sincere thanks to everyone involved.

  • 5 Stephen Carnall 2nd Mar 2018

    A difficult time for the family was made so much easier by Lymn's helpful professional and above all understanding service.
    Ellie in the office was polite considerate and helpful at all times and explained things to me in a clear and concise manner. On the day of the funeral all the staff who comprised the cortege were excellent both in what they said and the manner in which they conducted themselves.
    Ian our driver was the perfect mixture of compassion and understanding but I must single Mark out for particular commendation. Everything about him from what he said to the way he said it to the way he conducted and presented himself was perfectly judged and he put my brother and myself at complete ease. We cannot thank him enough.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review, particularly in regard to the professional and understanding care offered by Ellie and Mark. We are glad that Mark was able to put you and your brother at ease on the day of the funeral and that his support made this sad day a little easier for you. Thank you.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied

  • 5 Andrew Hefford 25th Feb 2018

    Ellie and Beryl who dealt with my Fathers cremation were fantastic from the start to the finish in organising everything.
    Mark the main pallbearer (forgive if not correct title) was absolutely brilliant in informing us what was going to happen and with a smile, not a laughing smile, but a genuine smile that was from within..
    All in all, everything was perfect as it was when AW Lymns carried out my Mother’s cremation 3 years ago.
    Many thanks to you all.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are pleased that you received excellent service from both Ellie and Beryl beforehand and that Mark's genuine smile and support & guidance on the days itself offered comfort to you and your family. Thank you.
