    I have nothing but praise for A J Wakely & Sons. The staff were kind, compassionate and very efficient dealing with my late husband’s funeral and I would happily recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Nicki Caro 3rd Nov 2021

    Kindness, support and attention to detail at this difficult time was greatly appreciated.

  • 5 Elaine Shanahan 19th Sep 2021

    Extremely professional and compassionate service.
    I felt supported from the first phone call to the office right through 
    the arrangements and service.
    A very sad time made more difficult due to COVID restrictions was 
    made more bearable due to the excellent support.
    I have no hesitation in strongly recommending A.J Wakely.
    Wincanton.
