A.W. Lymn of Hucknall arranged my husband Arthur Eagle's funeral with great care and consideration. I would like to express my thanks, and also on behalf of family, friends and colleagues.
He was with Lymns a lot longer than anticipated, but they did all they could to resolve a difficult situation.
All of Lymn's staff worked with the utmost respect for my husband and the day itself went smoothly.
Everyone said it was a lovely service.
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.

Words will never be enough to describe what an outstanding service you gave Lindsey and her baby son Rio. From the day we walked in you comforted both me and my mum through this tragic loss, helped us with any questions we had, went above and beyond and nothing was ever too much for you. We’ve had tears and most of all we’ve had some humour to get us through it all. The effort you’ve all made to help and comfort us when we felt like didn’t know what to do. The special keepsake from Rio too with his little hand and footprints, forever grateful for you doing them because that’s all we have of him. Having my mums wish to have them both together at peace is the most special heartwarming tribute of all. So a massive thank you to Catherine and Caroline ♥️♥️ you both are incredible lovely people. Thank you for being apart of this journey with us. We will never forget what you’ve both done ♥️💙
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really kind review. I can't imagine what your family have been going through but I am truly glad that I was able to make this time a little more bearable for you by taking the stresses of arranging the funeral away and by being able to arrange special keepsakes for you to treasure. I wish you all the best for the future and please remember where I am if there is ever anything else I can do for you. Thank you, Caroline.
5Mick Stevenson26th Apr 2022
From the moment we first visited A.W.Lymn in Hucknall we were made to feel at ease & comfortable whilst faced with a difficult situation. We saw Caroline and she handled everything so professionally, whilst still displaying compassion and on our level. She explained clearly about the whole funeral procedure from start to finish but most importantly she listened to us and to our input, nothing was too awkward or too much trouble for her .. In the nicest possible way I'm hoping to not see Caroline any time soon, but would have no hesitation in recommending A.W.Lymn to anyone needing funeral services...
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
It was a pleasure to be able to meet you face to face rather than having to look after you over the phone as I did during the pandemic. I feel like I know Cecil from the stories you told and I thought the orders of service you created were lovely. Thank you, Caroline.

5Sharon Gibbs25th Oct 2021
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.
A.W. Lymn, Hucknall Team replied
How lovely of you, Sharon, to take the time to leave such a comprehensive and kind review. It was a privilege to care for your family at such a sad time and Caroline joins me in wishing you well for the future. if there is ever anything more we can do to help then please just give her a call. Thank you, Richard.

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.

You made this sad experience so much easier with you care and consideration.
Thank you, I am so very grateful.
Jackie Lymn Rose replied
Mrs Marshall, it is so kind of you to take the time to thank the "Team". All staff were touched by the courtesy extended to them on the day, the number of people in attendance at the crematorium for the wonderful celebration of your husband's life was surely testament to a true gentleman..
5Rachel Palethorpe27th Aug 2021
The service has been excellent. From the moment I slept through the door being very upset and emotional I was treated amazingly. The whole process was made very easy to understand and apart from saying what I wanted I did nothing else.Everything was taken care off. A top class service. Thankyou to Caroline and Tony.
