At a difficult time the Team at Lymns were sensitive and helpful. They listened and provided an excellent funeral according to my Fathers wishes. Special mention of the attention to detail and great communication from all at the Arnold office, Ellie for her efficient and friendly organisation and Russell for his support on the day. I cannot recommend them highly enough. 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.

  • 5 Deanne Taylor 25th Jan 2019

    Always a superb service

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Deanne, The team at our Arnold office, being Beryl, Ellie, and Russell, ‎all had a soft spot and immense admiration for Sylvia. Arnold will never seem the same without our neighbour who popped in regularly prior to her move to assisted care and whom our staff continued to visit after that move. It was a privilege tinged with great sadness to be asked to look after the arrangements for our friend Sylvia. Thank you for your kind words. Nigel Lymn Rose.
