Duncan Law 1st May 2025

Simon was collaborative, keen to help me get what I wanted. Everyone I dealt with was sympathetic and efficient. Chris and John were excellent too, facilitating our desire to dress Matthew and our wish for no formality or trappings and our desire to carry the coffin ourselves. I would highly recommend.

Jane Tate 1st May 2025

Absolutely amazing. Made the loss of our mum a little easier. Can not thank them enough. So professional and dignified service that they provide.

Rodney Holmes 1st May 2025

Everything was absolutely how we wanted it, perfect.

5 Olivia Daly 31st Mar 2025

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.
