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.

  • 4 Robert Webb 29th Jan 2024

    Staff helpful, although some information could have been clearer.
    We had a prepaid funeral package so all was included but we had to have two funeral cars as theirs only seat 4.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this generally positive review of the service received from the team at Arnold. I'm sorry if you were disappointed with our seating configuration, but we have only offered four seater passenger limousines for a number of years, however as your plan was not purchased from us directly, but assigned to us by the planning company after purchase then the plan holder would not have been aware of this at the time. If you want to discuss anything further please do get in touch with me. Thank you. Chloe Lymn Rose.

    Mum was at the Arnold branch. Jessica was kind and patient with me in dealing with the planning of Mum's funeral.
    There was no rush when we visited the chapel of rest towards the end of the day.
    Colum, our celebrant was equally patient and caring and I highly recommend him.
    Everything on the day ran smoothly. The staff were very respectful to Mum and us.
    Highly recommend the company and the Arnold branch.
