The staff were very helpful and accommodating, even initially coming out to see me. Anything I requested they arranged if it was possible. Everything went very smoothly and I think my mother would have loved what had been arranged for her final journey.
Thanks to everyone, particularly Charis.
E Latham and W Bexon funeral directors, both old established funeral firms in Hucknall, were incorporated in St. James House after joining the A.W. Lymn group in 1987.
The funeral home offers off-street parking, a reception area, two visitation rooms (which can be used together as a family suite if requested) and cold room facilities.
St. James House is open between 9 am and 5 pm, from Monday to Friday and is run by Senior Funeral Director Catherine Broome who is assisted by assisted by Funerals Arrangers Deanna Dale, Emma Hind & Luke Mellor.
If you need to talk after office hours or would like to arrange a more convenient appointment you can get in touch by calling the telephone number which is available 24 hours, seven days a week.
In the Hucknall office, Catherine also managers our pre-paid funerals provided by Ecclesiastical.
St. James House covers all of Hucknall and its surrounding areas including to the north: the villages of Blidworth, Linby, Papplewick and Ravenshead; to the north-west: Annesley, Annesley Woodhouse and Newstead Village; to the east: Bestwood Country Park and Bestwood Village; to the west: Eastwood, Heanor, Jacksdale, Selston, Underwood and Westwood.
St. James House is part of the A W Lymn group, managed and owned by the Lymn Rose family.
Thank you for your kind words and positive review, we are glad we were able to provide a good service in these sad times. Emma.

5Lucy Mason20th Sep 2024
I cannot thank Charis enough for everything she did for us. She made the whole process feel a lot easier.
We had never organised a funeral before and she took us through everything we needed to do at the right speed.
Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything just went so smoothly.
I thought the memory box at the end was such a lovely touch. We were recommended Lymns and I would definitely recommend Lymns again.
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Thank you Lucy for your very kind words. It was an honour to assist you in getting the details sorted, thank you for telling me such wonderful stores about your Dad. I am so pleased to hear that everything went really well on the day. Thank you again. Take care, Charis.

Michelle, One of the hardest things is to lose someone you love especially “your everything” as I could see Mum Audrey was to you. Wherever I could, I wanted to make your time spent with Mum precise, as precise as Audrey was. Big hugs Michelle. I bet she’s jiving now with Blanche. Deanna.
