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.

Our family have used the services of Lymns for the past 70 years, though modern technology has taken over everwhere, your company have maintained the same standard of service and compassion that a family business can offer with dignity, we received excellent service. Thank all staff involved to achieve our wishes.
Yours sincerly Jean Fish on behalf of the Fish and Hodgkinson Families
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Jean, thank you for your very kind review and in particular the kind comments that you and John made to me on the funeral about the help and assistance provided by Emma and Beryl at our Arnold Funeral Home. It was interesting to hear about your family’s historic connection with our business and the Nottingham and District Aquarist Society of the 1950’s and it was nice for me to meet your son Jonathan, the artist of several pictures from the 1970’s that now hang in my home. Again it was a pleasure to meet you all and I am pleased that the service we provided proved helpful at this sad time.

Thanks to Nigel, Victoria and Richard for your care and all who attended physically and virtually, especially the overseas family share that sentiment.
Nigel Lymn Rose replied
Tony. Thank you for your kind review and lovely comments about Emma and our staff at Arnold. They were much appreciated. I also thought that Victoria the Celebrant at the service and Richard who lead the eulogy where exceptional and I am very grateful that you mentioned them in your appraisal. I was saddened but nonetheless honoured to be involved in Anthea’s funeral and would take this opportunity to thank you both for the support that you have given to MS fund raising over so many years.

A.W Lymn did an amazing job, the staff on the day were extremely friendly, polite, helpful and very respectful. Leading up to the funeral Emma Stevenson emailed me with updates and informed of anything that I needed to do etc due to this I didn't feel like I didn't know what I was doing or what would happen next. All in all A.W Lymn did such a great job and I am extremely grateful for that.

5Caroline Hennigan 19th Feb 2021
I can highly recommend AW LYMN ARNOLD. Their service was the model of professionalism, from the moment I first contacted them, until after the burial. One person, Emma, liaised with us throughout and she made what is inevitably an upsetting process as bearable as it could ever be. Communication was via phone, email and in person and was clear, sensitive and helpful and Emma coordinated the service with our Priest excellently.
The funeral, overseen by the excellent Russell, went very smoothly and with great dignity.
