Everyone at A J Wakely & Sons was simply wonderful from start to finish. I'd like to single out Tim Nickels for special mention – his sensitivity, empathy, attention to detail ... and speedy communication made organising my father's funeral so easy. On the day, Simon Wakely was friendly and efficient and made sure everything ran smoothly. I wholeheartedly recommend this family firm of funeral directors. They are an asset to our community. more

I could not have asked for anything more, everything about the funeral arranged by A J Wakeley for my mother in March 2025 was perfect. Having used their services 10 years ago for ... my father which again was perfect, I would highly recommend more
