This is an old family business and it shows. I found Leah to be extremely empathetic and well-organised - and even helped us with booking the venue for the wake which I was not expecting. The lady in the office (Kate?) was also lovely. They were very professional whilst being warm, flexible and easy going.

5 Margaretta Timson 2nd Jul 2024

We had to arrange a funeral with AJ Wakely for the third time in as many years, and I must say that everything was handled impeccably. Leah was exceptional in providing unwavering support, going above and beyond her duties as an undertaker. The entire team at AJ Wakely demonstrated outstanding care and empathy, proving to be a credit to the company. Without Leah's support, we wouldn't have been able to navigate through that challenging time, and for that, we will always be grateful to her and the team.

5 Tilly Landon 3rd Apr 2024

Having the initial meeting at our home helped greatly. Leah took time to explain the process, the options and asked questions in a gentle way when making the arrangements. Consequently the Funeral Service was perfect.
