Leah Wakely was professional and friendly and immediately put us at our ease. She kindly and carefully steered us through the whole process and we felt that our loved one was in the best of care. 
We would highly recommend Wakelys Ilminster to anyone.

I cannot say enough about how professional, kind and compassionate the Staff was towards my family and I, from the beginning of the process till the end.
They also treated my deceased sister’s body with the same respect , which was so appreciated when I went in to say goodbye to her.
The funeral procession and the funeral were done with the respect and caring for the deceased and for the attendees.

Hi

Really good service, short sweet and to the point of all letting us say goodbye to Dad.

Very friendly helpful service from Leah, who was very kind to mum with offers to help mum get to places she needed to get to as family live so far away. It really was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We received really excellent service from Leah and the team at Ilminster and they provided great comfort and guidance at a difficult time. I have not had too much experience with Funeral Directors (and I hope not to again for a long time!) but I am thankful that we selected Wakleys to act on our behalf - I would definitely recommend them.

Leah Wakely along with Kate her colleague could not have been more helpful, sympathetic and above all professional in what was a very sad time for us, dealing with our father's death.  We live in Surrey and our father in Somerset so long distance communications which went without a glitch.  There is a reason Wakely's are well respected and that is their first class service and true professionalism all done with respect and compassion.  Thank you x

The day of the funeral of our beloved mother was a very sad day for her family but the funeral arrangements were so well managed by Leah that it made it very much easier for us together with the simple but joyous service, the beautiful wicker casket and it adornment with roses, which were our mother's favourite flowers. We are all very grateful to Leah and he colleagues for their care and compassion in helping and guiding us through the difficult time. Thank you.
