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.

    we lost our beloved mum very suddenly at the age of 65, so unexpected, we were in utter shock, Elllie & Beryl at Lymns in Arnold welcomed us in, took charge and within an hour we had a funeral arranged
    They arranged the chapel of rest for us so we could visit Mum in peace , none of us had ever done this, Beryl helped my Aunt do my mums hair and make up, we will be forever grateful for that, Ellie and Beryl were a constant source of advice and support, they made was such a horrific time for us , that little bit easier
    I will never forget their kindness, and Russell, and his team on the day of the funeral, so professional, caring and respectful, thank you all so much

    The service that lymns provided was excellent. They were very thorough, efficient with the right level of empathy. Every last detail was covered.  The coffin and flowers were beautiful - the Order of Service was exactly as we wanted. They organised the music and hymns as requested. In all we couldn't have wished for a better funeral for our mother.

  • 5 Wendy Honeyman-smith 26th May 2017

    This is such a sad time, but the funeral for my Father was superb, and really helped us in our bereavement. AW Lymn gave us great personal service and really listened to what we wanted, we were able to put all our confidence in them and concentrate on saying goodbye. Ellie and Russell were both very professional, but warm and friendly too. Ellie put us in touch with Sarah Willis, a wonderful celebrant who worked with us to provide a service that did justice to my Father. Every detail of the day itself went without a hitch, and I must say that the new crematorium at Gedling is lovely.

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Thank you for this kind and detailed review. We are pleased that the warm, kind and professional manner of Ellie and Russell gave you the confidence to entrust the funeral arrangements to them alleviating some of the worry for you at this sad time. We are also glad to hear your positive words about both Sarah Willis and the crematorium at Gedling.
