Excellent quality of service from start to finish; Lymn’s took great care of everything with compassion and ensured a smooth and professional service. The ceremony was administered by Reverand Philip Thomas who excelled with his representation of Arthur. As a family we feel a huge amount of gratitude to those who helped to make the day as nice as it was so thank you for being there in our hour of need. 

Edna Rooke 23rd Feb 2023

All the staff I had contact with at the Arnold branch were professional, kind & very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to others. 

Sharon Oakes 21st Feb 2023

Wonderful service. Attentive. Full of empathy and so proffesional. I felt my Sister was given the respect and send off she deserved.

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.
