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.

About Us
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
