AJ Wakely provided a sympathetic and fantastic service. They supported us through the whole process, giving advice and professional knowledge. On the day of the funeral the team treated everybody with complete dignity. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I can't thank them enough for their personal service throughout a difficult time. Thank you!

From the beginning we felt confident and at ease with the Wakely team who were exemplary throughout. There was a good balance between professionalism and understanding together with timely advice, that was given sensitively and at just the right time without any undue pressure.

Simon and his team deserve ten stars because nothing is too much trouble for them. Every little detail is taken care of, from start to finish. We were never made to feel stupid for asking the most basic of questions and treated with compassion throughout. Simon's motto should be " We can do that"....because I feel he'd put himself out to help anyone, achieve anything. Thank you all so much. Lyn.
