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.

Very professional courteous . It was nice to have someone to turn to at an otherwise difficult time for advice. I would recommend setting up pre- paid funeral plans to reduce some of the inevitable stress .

Outstanding. From the upsetting moment I had to call them out in the early hours of the morning, to the funeral and after support, Lymns have simply been oustanding. The team at Hucknall manage to balance being professional, efficient and organised with being friendly, empathetic and caring. They sensitively guided me through the right choices for my mum and the day ran so smoothly, it was just right.
Special mention to Caroline and Catherine, at no point did I ever doubt everything would be anything but perfect, due to their care and attention. Thank you.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.
