Lymns were amazing! The staff was so friendly, organised and professional who went the extra mile with care. They made the whole process easier and less stressful for me and my family in arranging my dads funeral. They were all wonderful but special thanks goes to Caroline who ensured all the preparation for the funeral went smoothly. She kept us informed and consulted with us throughout. Also a big thank you to Catherine for being there on the day and for being very supportive, especially to my mum. A big thank you from the bottom of my heart, I Would highly recommend A.W.Lymns.

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 Emma Hind, who joined the company in 2020 and brings additional experience from elsewhere in the funeral profession.
Charis Bull 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

5Julian Prendergast18th Jun 2020
From start to finish, at what was an emotional time for all concerned with the funeral of my father; I have to say that Catherine Broome from A.W. Lymn’s took all the hassle & stress away from myself & the family which was priceless.
Catherine was a joy to deal with and took care of all the arrangements for all family members and her attention to detail was exemplary.
Nothing was too much trouble and she provided a real personal touch as well as being pivotal in organising everything.
Our collective thanks to Catherine and the rest of the team at Lymns.
Thank you!
The Prendergast Family.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

5Ros White4th Jun 2020
I cannot recommend lymns highly enough. Caroline is absolutely amazing. I was so overwhelmed to begin with because of having to organise everything over the phone and through emails because of the lockdown, but she literally held my hand over the phone and walked me through it every step of the way. I would have been totally lost without her. And David on the day of the funeral was amazing too. The whole experience was made that much better because of the care, compassion and empathy that they have.
Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for getting our family through this difficult time.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, particularly with regards to the care and compassion shown by Caroline and David through these difficult times. We are glad that Caoline was able to arrange with the crematorium for you to have seating for all the family and that special touches such as this made the whole sad experiences better for you. Thank you.
