The friendliness and professionalism of everybody at Lymn's shone through throughout this difficult time. They all knew exactly what they needed to do and guided us through the maze of paperwork and procedures required to deal with our deceased mother. Although there were some problems with the registration of death, communication with Lymn's was second to none so we were able to expedite the process with their help. We were never left wondering what was happening at any point in time.
Particular thanks to Caroline for being our main point of contact and to Richard for doing a wonderful job of the tribute. Thanks also to Katherine, Louise, Jenny and everybody else we came in contact with who helped make the funeral day go smoothly.
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.

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.

5Clayton Ford11th Sep 2021
Very friendly and empathetic service. Guided us all the way throughout. Lymns has the most prestige funeral cars in Hucknall. Very competitive prices ( we expected them to be the most expensive but they wasn’t).
I would highly recommend them to anyone. I will without doubt use them again. I would also highly recommend their celebrant Richard who did a tremendous job.
Visiting us to find out all the background information about our loved one and piecing it all together into a perfect reading.
Thank you to all the staff involved.
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Clayton, thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. It was a privilege to care for you and your family under such tragic circumstances. You were a great help to me in preparing the celebration of Steven’s life and I know you were also a great support to Keeley and to Steven’s dad too. Richard.
