We cannot thank you enough at AJ Wakely Yeovil for all the lovely care and support you gave us and for looking after our Mum and Dad when they sadly passed away. You showed so much dignity and respect in the way that you cared for our parents and you arranged everything down to the smallest detail. It made us feel that we mattered and that nothing was too much trouble. We were so grateful for all the invaluable help, chats and cups of tea! Especially because although you had been there in exactly the same way when Mum passed away just over a year ago, you intuitively understood that when Dad passed away he too was a character and a person all of his own. Being mindful of this you thoughtfully guided and supported us in arranging funerals that reflected who they were perfectly. Your kindness, professionalism and understanding will never be forgotten and you made a very sad time much more bearable whilst looking after our Mum and Dad. Thank you so much again. Maria & Lyn.

Wakely's provided a great service throughout, following the passing of my mum back in September. Frank was very attentive from the beginning and explained the process with care and compassion. Sadly, he was unable to be a part of the service on the day, but Clive and his team provided an excellent service along with Derren, the celebrant and Laura, who were both very accommodating with arrangements,keeping us informed at every step of the way. Many thanks for all your help and support. Mum would have been grateful for your kindness and care. Thank you to you all. Judith and Paul.

AJ Wakely & Sons Ltd provided an excellent service for the funeral arrangements for my late Jane. From start to finish they were very helpful, sincere and professional, particularly on the day and above all kind, which our family will always remember.
