Located at St. James House, A.W. Lymn’s Hucknall funeral home brings together the heritage of two respected funeral firms – E. Latham and W. Bexon – which became part of the A.W. Lymn family in 1987. Since then, they have continued their tradition of providing compassionate and professional funeral services to the local community.
In addition to caring for families, St. James House also serves as the administration centre for our pre-paid funeral plans, managed in partnership with Ecclesiastical.
The funeral home is overseen by Senior Funeral Director Catherine Broome, a Hucknall local who has been with A.W. Lymn for over 30 years. Catherine also manages the company’s funeral planning department. She is supported by Funeral Plan Administrator Luke Mellor.
Charis Boyce joined the Hucknall team in 2024 after completing the A.W. Lymn apprenticeship and is now a qualified funeral arranger and member of several professional organisations including the British Institute of Embalmers.
This branch serves Hucknall, Annesley, Annesley Woodhouse, Bestwood Country Park, Bestwood Village, Blidworth, Eastwood, Heanor, Jacksdale, Linby, Newstead Village, Papplewick, Ravenshead, Selston, Silverdale, Thrumpton, Underwood and Westwood

5Roger Eyre3rd Mar 2026
On behalf of the wider Eyre Family I wish to express our gratitude it all that Lymns did to make Marjorie's funeral go so successfully.
On what could have been a sad day your arrangements helped us 'Wave her Goodbye' in a style she would have approved of ( I feel sure she would have been annoyed at missing it!).
The flowers and hats were perfect (the poor pallbearers had to bend at the knees to get the hats through the door to the crem).
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Roger and Sheila, It has been such a pleasure and an honour to organise the celebration of such an extraordinary lady with you. I am so pleased it went as well as it did. My kindest regards to you all. Charis and the Hucknall team

5Marie Smith22nd Jun 2025
Charis was excellent she helped me, advised me and nothing was too much trouble for her. This is the 1st time I have had to arrange a funeral and from the moment I made that 1st telephone call to Lymns, I was very impressed. Everything was explained to me in detail and any questions I asked were answered honestly and professionally. I felt Charis went that extra mile to care for and look after my mother-in-law (the deceased) and my family when they came to view.
Very very impressed, not the cheapest, but money isn't an issue when it comes to caring for the deceased.
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Marie, You are so very kind. I am pleased that everything went so well for you and it has been no trouble at all to make sure that everyone got the opportunity to spend the time they needed with your mother-in-law. It has been such an honour to look after her and you all as well. Take care , kind regards, Charis.
