A faultless, caring and highly efficient service that we would highly recommend. Nothing is too much trouble from the initial home visit after the bereavement, email queries before ... the day and the actual funeral. We were very grateful that everyone little detail was as we asked for. Special mention must go to Tim Nickels at Bridport who embodies everything a funeral director should be. Thank you so very much. more

We cannot thank A J Wakely & Sons enough for their professional service. We appreciated everything they did for us from the first call to looking after my brother Raymond until ... his cremation. Greg is a very kind and caring man who was so helpful to us at this difficult time. His patience and understanding was a credit to him. Thank you Greg. Elaine and Chris. more
