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.

The very caring overall attention to detail to my dear Jean was wonderful.

Thank you.

3Paul Hewitt25th Nov 2016
The pre service arrangements were all very good, however, they arrived 20 minutes late on the day of the funeral which was unrcessairly stressful for the family and not what I would have expected from a reputable firm.
Matthew Lymn Rose replied
Mr. Hewitt. Thank you for the time spent discussing the delay following the funeral, and listening to our explanation. I am sorry that our miscommunication of timings combined with some lateness led to undoubted anxiety on the day, I am only grateful the service was not effected, and that the way the rest of our team looked after your needs was good. Thank you again.

Over the last four years, AW Lymn have taken very good care of four family members.
The funeral of each loved one has been beautifully and respectfully performed with great dignity. I had great support and kindness, not to mention exceptional patience from everyone,most especially Beryl.
I would have no hesitation, in recommending the team at Lymns at such a very difficult time.

No other choice of funer directors for me, all the staff are caring and sensitive to your needs and could not be more helpful at a very difficult time. We have used them twice in the past 18 months and can't find a fault with anything. The staff make you feel like friends rather than clients without any awkward moments.
