Led by Funeral Director Russell Kemp, who possesses extensive knowledge of Arnold’s community churches and customs, the funeral home is supported by Funeral Arranger Jessica Raynor and Receptionists/Administrators Beryl Spencer and Jodie Ruth. Together, they offer compassionate and professional funeral services tailored to each family's needs.

St. Albans House provides a range of facilities to ensure dignified and respectful arrangements:

- A welcoming reception area with two private reception rooms
- Three visitation rooms, including a suite with an adjoining private space for families
- Cold room facilities for preservation
- A small memorial showroom showcasing tribute options

A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service proudly serves Arnold and nearby communities, including: Calverton, Daybrook, Epperstone, Killisick, Lambley, Lowdham, Oxton, Redhill, and Woodthorpe.

  • 5 Margaret Brook 2nd Apr 2022

    Everything was efficiently organised with gentle sympathy from all staff.
    On the day, Russell checked arrangements at the crematorium and found that the words of one hymn were not the same as the words in the service booklet and quickly got this changed.
    Lymn's provided an excellent service.

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased to hear that the service we provided to you was excellent, it was an honour to be able to serve you and your family.
    Part of my role on the day is to check everything runs smoothly, so seeing the slight error on the hymn at the crematorium was just one of the final checks to do but I am glad that it made things that little bit better for you. Russ.
