About Us

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, a chapel of rest 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 funeral arranger Charis Bull.

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 with the help of Emma Hind also manages 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.

    Boyd. Thank you for your high appraisal and such kind words. I know that I was really only involved in facilitating the funeral and attending on the day and that the details were down to our staff. However I was really pleased that so many attended and that there was the opportunity to say goodbye to Dan in the way you would have wanted. Nigel
  • 5 Christine Andrew 21st Jan 2025

    Charis, Tony Mills, and all the staff at A W Lymn were extremely thoughtful and handled every aspect of my Dad's funeral preparations meticulously and expertly--from the day he passed away and his body had to be collected from his nursing home to the funeral itself, and their post-funeral dealings with us. All their dealings were full of sensitivity and courtesy, so much so that it was a strikingly different customer service experience to what can generally be expected in the world nowadays.

    There was some miscommunication between A W Lymn and Gedling Crematorium regarding the time available for the service. A W Lymn told us that the whole hour 11:00-12:00 was ours to include about 10 minutes for setting up, the service itself, and from 11:50 for mourners to leave the chapel or remain to watch the charging of the coffin. However, in the middle of the service I was approached by one of the crematorium attendants and advised to speed up or we wouldn't have time to play the ... last two pieces of music and wouldn't be finished on time. I told her we were right on schedule to leave the chapel or watch the charging of the coffin at 11:50, and then she told me we actually needed to leave the chapel earlier than 11:50. Even now I don't know what time they expected us to end. I was anxious and lost track of the time after that. We had to just rush, and that was not a good experience, but it didn't spoil the service. One other thing was that the chapel displayed a different backdrop from the one I'd selected via A W Lymn. I'd asked for the waterfall backdrop and they used something else. When I brought this to the attendant's attention, she corrected it about 15 minutes into the service.  more

    Chloe Lymn Rose replied
    Mrs Andrew, thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and detailed review of the service provided by the team at Hucknall. It is particularly heartening to read your high praise for Charis and Tony. We are sorry that you did not experience the same high service level at the Crematorium but are pleased to see this did not spoil the service for you. Thank you again.
  • 5 Louise Ratheram 20th Jan 2025

    At times like this, you need caring, empathetic people, and that's exactly what we got.  I can't speak highly enough about the whole service, from the first phone call from them to confirm they had collected my Dad and he was now resting with them.  Nothing was too much trouble for them and they answered every single question, efficiently.  World Class Service.

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    Louise, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a privilege to help you create such a touching send-off for your wonderful Dad. I am glad everything went as well as it could have done for you. Kindest regards, Charis and the team at Hucknall.

  • 5 Shellie Walker 9th Dec 2024

    Well we’re do I start, after losing my brother very suddenly I was lost and unsure were to start. I contacted lymns and from start to finish they have all been amazing and so caring I couldn’t thank them enough. I had most of my dealings with a young lady called charis and all I can say is she was perfect with everything, she listened to what we wanted and the day turned out amazing. On the day of the funeral everything was perfect and on time and the lead of the journey and the drivers was so compassionate to us as a family it melted my heart. I would highly recommend lyms to anyone that asks me and I would never use anyone else they all have a space in my heart.

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    Shellie, It has been such an honour to work with you to create Daniel’s ‘final party’. I am so pleased that everything went so well on the day, and I hope everyone partied late into the night in Daniel’s memory. Kindest regards to you and the whole family, Charis
  • 5 Clare Wilson 2nd Dec 2024

    Charis was very helpful and knowledgeable. She made it easier for us to get through this awful time. They did also go above and beyond to complete our requests we made for the day.

    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.

  • 5 Lucy Mason 20th 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.

    We received excellent guidance and support from Deanna in organising my husband’s funeral. Deanna was very professional, caring and compassionate. She was so helpful with the order of service and dealing with the team at Sherwood Forest Crematorium. Everything went really well on the day. 
    I would definitely recommend A W Lymn in Hucknall. 

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied

    I couldn't prise you enough you went that extra mile and more for myself and my brother deanna and emma were amazing and allowed me too go and see my mum most days even staying late at work when I was still with mum thank you so very much for your kindness and respect 🙏

    A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
    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.

    I could truly feel the love you have for your amazing sister in arranging her funeral with you all, it was a honour. Barney the dinosaur stickers and themed funeral just made it extra special, just like Kelly. Look after yourselves, Deanna.
