not having ever dealt with funerals in the past I was somewhat unsure that everything would go plan I was to say the least daunted by all the work involved & very apprehensive, however on the days leading up to the funeral & on the day everything came together as I wanted & I am very pleased that lymns did the funeral I was very pleased with the courtesy shown by them & I would recommend their service whole heartedly thankyou

We have used Lymn twice now for both of our parent's funerals as they are very professional and everything runs smoothly which is what you need at such sad times. They have been very accommodating and helpful at all times and I would recommend them 100%. S Aspinall March 2016

Richard Oswin 25th Mar 2016

The service provided by A W Lymn, mainly via Russell Kemp, was helpful, informative and compassionate and alleviated much of the worry and hard work that might expectedly be associated with making these arrangements at such an upsetting time. The funeral service was conducted without any problems whatsoever and I would highly recommend Lymn's to anyone.

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.

    There are no words in the English dictionary that adequately describe the wonderful experience of using A.W. Lymn's as your funeral directors.

    From the first contact with Matthew Lymn Rose, nothing, and I mean nothing was too much trouble to the family run business.

    They offer tremendous guidance and assistance at every stage in your planning for a beautiful and memorable "send-off" for your loved one - my beloved mother in my case.

    Their knowledge and experience is truly second to none, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who has the unfortunate need of assistance in dealing with a bereavement.

    A.W. Lymn is truly a compassionate and professional family business who offer a brilliant service in our time of need.

    Two words are nowhere near enough, but THANK YOU.

    Fantastic friendly and supportive service from the moment we made our first phone call. Ellie was the perfect balance of sympathetic and professional. Efficient throughout, she made sure we were happy and kept up to date, which gave our family great comfort through what was such a sad and difficult time.
    Russ rang prior to the funeral to confirm all our choices which again prevented any last minute worries we might have had.
    The cars were beautiful and the driver's kind and respectful, the journey itself was very comfortable.
    Our funeral director, Julia, immediately put our whole family at ease, thank you so much for allowing her to accept our special request to direct the funeral. I cannot put into words how supported and comforted Julia made everyone feel. Saying goodbye to the head of our family was so very sad but it was done with the utmost respect, affection and dignity and we could not have been happier with the service. Thank you all so much. The Brown family.
