I cannot fault the service I received. Very helpful. Communication spot on. I would recommend to anyone. Very pleasant staff. 

Alison Slinger 8th Jun 2021

I cannot praise Lymn's highly enough for looking after the funeral arrangements for my Aunt. Everything was handled so well and with such care. Thankyou.

Julie Grant 6th Jun 2021

I am really happy with the services from A W Lynn. All dealt with me compassionately and with great care at what was a very difficult time. Never having to have dealt with a funeral before Emma talked me through everything involved from registering the death, ensuring my mum was looked after at the funeral parlour, requirements for the cremation, choosing the Celebrant and sorting out the charity donations which we had instead of flowers. She was with me every step of the way and couldn't have been more caring and helpful. Mark, who looked after us at the service and the bearers were so good and very respectful. The Celebrant who was chosen for me was so kind and considerate and brilliant with my dad who was obviously in great distress at losing is wife of 62 years. All in all they made a dreadful day so much more bearable. Thank you.

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.

    As a family we always use AW Lymn because you are always professional and never disappoint. You were considerate, supportive, compassionate and patient. Your celebrant Malcom conducted an excellent service, capturing my husband perfectly. Mark looked after my elderly mother in law who was in a wheel chair ensuring she was comfortable and never rushed. I am sincerely grateful.

    A.W. Lymn, Arnold Team replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. I am pleased that we lived up to our previous high standards once again and provided a considerate, supportive and compassionate service.

  • 5 Hayley Barsby 3rd May 2021

    This is the 2nd time that Lymn’s Arnold have supported us in 2017 following the death of our Mum and recently with the death of our dad. On both occasions the professional and caring service has been greatly appreciated. Nothing is too much trouble and the kindness and reassurance along the way is just what you need when something as sad as a loved one passing away has just taken place . Thank you 🙏 

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    We are sorry that it has been necessary for you to require our services twice in recent years but we are truly grateful to you for entrusting us again with helping you through this tough time and we are glad that you were once again treated with kindness and professionalism. Thank you.
