A W Lymn were conscientious and helpful throughout the whole process. They helped us to think through all of the big decisions that needed to be made without making us feel that we were being pushed into something that we didn't want. Overall, a very positive experience.

Clifford Trevor Gennard 30th Jun 2016

Very pleased with service and will recommend.

Lucinda Cox 27th Jun 2016

We feel that the funeral director A.W. Lymn Arnold was outstanding when dealing with the funeral of John Arthur Horsley. Ellie was so professional and explained everything clearly and in detail. Ellie answered all our questions and was always available to chat through any queries we had in person or on the telephone. She guided us through an extremely difficult time and was caring and patient. Ross was also extremely professional and thoughtful on the day of the funeral.The celebrant Keith Brown was second to none and he delivered the service with compassion, honesty and impeccable professionalism. We highly recommend this funeral company and can't thank them enough for an excellent and wonderful send off for our loved one.

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.

    All the arrangements were carried out extremely well with courtesy, dignity and compassion. Having known the Lymn family and their business for many years as a Vicar in Sneinton, now retired, I have always admired their attention to detail and their knowledge. I was very pleased that I had chosen them to perform this sensitive task for Nancy and our family.

  • 4 George Taylor 4th Apr 2016

  • 5 Suzanne Aspinall 27th Mar 2016

    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%.

  • 5 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. 

  • 5 John Swain 7th Mar 2016

  • 5 Michael Whittaker 22nd Feb 2016

    compassionate understanding always willing to help, very friendly staff at at all times.

  • 5 IVOR MARK DAVIS 11th Jan 2016

    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.
