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.

    Matthew Lymn Rose replied
    Geri, Susan and family. Thank you for your kind words, they truly are appreciated, but it was the very least Nigel, the team at Arnold and I could do for Sheila and your family. If we can help in any other way, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.

  • 4 Kim Skelton 8th Jun 2020

    Due to the current circumstances with COVID-19, we were not allowed more than 15 family members to attend my father's funeral. But this was no fault of theirs as there is only so much they can do under the current restrictions.
    Everybody I have spoken to at A.W Lymns of Arnold have been very sympathetic and very professional in their manner. All of the arrangements had to be done by telephone or email but Ellie was always available to offer her support and understanding.
    The tribute read by Keith Brown got my father just right, everyone has said how wonderful it was and how they believed that Keith himself knew my father.
    Thank you so much for your excellent service you provided to me and my family.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and balanced review of the limited service we were able to provide as a result of the measure implemented by Government. We are glad that desipte this Ellie was always available to offer support and understanding, and that all the team at Arnold were professional and sympathetic. Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied

    Thank you for your kind words about the service provided by the team at Arnold, we are only sorry that the current pandemic meant that restrictions were in place.
  • 5 Graham Ashwell 26th May 2020

    Outstanding service, very helpful with every aspect of arrangements.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    I was very sorry That Mrs Ashwell died but felt privileged that our family company was selected to provide the funeral. It is very difficult in these times with the Covid 19 pandemic and the restrictions that are placed on numbers attending the ceremony. Nonetheless there was a lovely “warm” feeling at the ceremony and the sun was shining which helped to slightly lighten the sad occasion. Nigel
