I would thoroughly recommend Wakely’s, they have handled the passings of my Grandparents, and most recently, my Mum. They’ve been attentive, sensitive, compassionate, understanding and extremely professional. 

Thank you, Richard, and the team 🤝

We were very happy with every aspect and arrangements of our son Neil's funeral from the early planning to the final funeral day. Matthew discussed every detail in a compassionate professional caring way and Karen's helpful support from the Sherborne office certainly helped the funeral run smoothly with no regrets. We can certainly recommend Wakely's and would like to thank all their staff involved.

We returned to Wakely for our father’s funeral care as we had received an excellent service a few years ago when our mother passed away. 
Their attention to detail, compassion and kindness all while being thoroughly professional was appreciated by all of the family. 
The whole team at Wakely was excellent again. Thank you all.

The team at Wakely's dealt with my mother's funeral arrangements in a professional and empathetic manner. They were efficient in liaising with clergy, florist and monumental mason, and self-effacing and respectful towards family and others attending. Richard Wakely was an exemplary point of contact
