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.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, it really was a full team Arnold effort with Russ doing the initial arrangement, me doing the follow ups, Beryl doing a great job on the order of service etc and then Russ conducting the reception into church and funeral on the day. So we are glad that you felt so well looked after by all the team here in Arnold. Thank you, Emma.

  • 5 Neal Wealthall 26th Aug 2022

    From the moment I contacted A W LYMNS all the stress of organising the Funeral was taken from me.
    I knew that I could rely on their caring and professional manor and that my loved one was in good hands.
    Everyone says how beautiful the Funeral/Service was and I agree everything from start to Finnish was a credit to A W LYMNS.
    I now have to pick myself up and get on with my life but I can take comfort in the fact that My Wife Of 45 Years had the best send off possible
    Many thanks to all concerned.
    Neal Wealthall.

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Neal, thank you so much for such lovely feedback, it was an honour to help ensure Viv got the best send off possible. Emma.
