Jenny Poole 20th Aug 2018

From start to finish, every member of the team (Beryl on reception, Ellie, co-ordinator and Colum on the day) were helpful, sympathetic and supportive. They guided us through the process which we found very hard to deal with at the time. Highly recommended.

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 Wendy Hammond 29th Jul 2018

    Complete professionalism from my first meeting with Ellie at the funeral home to my final handshake with Russell at the crematorium . We have been shown nothing but care and compassion all the way through the painful process of saying farewell to our Mum. Beryl was wonderfully supportive when visiting Mum at the chapel of rest and a big box of tissues was always at the ready. I really do feel that after our first meeting with Ellie absolutely everything was done for us and all we had to do was turn up on the day. Marvellous service throughout.
