My wife and I visited the Wincanton branch of A. J Wakely & Sons Ltd after the passing of my father. On arrival, we were greeted by Claire, who immediately put us at ease. Rich ... ard then guided us through every step, with kindness and sensitivity, ensuring that every detail was handled with care. Their attention to detail, patience and understanding were truly remarkable. On the day of the Funeral, Ross and his team were excellent and a big thank you must go to our Celebrant Antonia, who conducted the service with the utmost dignity and respect, providing a beautiful and fitting farewell to my dad. I am deeply grateful, as is my family for their outstanding service. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional care. Thank you for making a tough time more manageable. more
