5 Alison Drayton 25th Nov 2023

From the moment we contacted A J Wakelys & Son at the Ilminster office Leah was absolutely fantastic and supported and guided us the whole way at this very difficult time. Kate was always able to answers any queries too & kept us updated. Amazing service and can highly recommend.

5 John Boston 24th Nov 2023

Wakeleys provided an outstanding service for my late sister. I live 2 hours away from Ilminster so I had to organise things at a distance. Leah and her staff managed things superbly, with just the right amount of advice and guidance. Thank you.

5 Janet Real 24th Nov 2023

We found the whole service excellent, both Leah and Kate showed empathy towards us all at a very difficult time.

Kate was incredibly approachable when we visited both for expected visits and when we just walked in unexpectedly, she was exceptional throughout. 

Leah visited at home to arrange the funeral again she was excellent, she listened and gave sound advice throughout, in a very calm manner which helped beyond words so thank you Leah. 

The only downside which really is minimal is during the service we wanted Dads bugle  stood up on his coffin unfortunately it was laid down, but as I said a very minimal complaint!

Would we use wakeley’s again absolutely, they really were extremely professional and caring throughout an extremely difficult and emotional time

5 Maurice Baigent 23rd Nov 2023

There was no pressure & any guidance was given in a pleasant way. 
Thank you.

To Katie, Leah, and your incredible team. Thank you so much for looking after us as a family and the care, consideration you have given us all, even though it was a terrible time for us we could not have gone through this without your support. It was greatly appreciated by us all during a very sad time.

From the start of the process of organising Mums funeral Leah and Kate couldn’t have been more compassionate and helpful, guiding us through step by step. Nothing was too much trouble and it made a difficult period in our lives go smoothly. I cannot thank them enough.

Everyone I have spoken to or met with has been very kind, understanding and helpful. Nothing has been too much trouble and the funeral service itself was dignified and carried out with great respect for my husband and myself.

5 Judith Eccles 16th Jun 2023

When my father passed away recently we couldn't have wished for a more professional and dedicated team. Leah was exceptional, her attention to detail was second to none and all the funeral arrangements were dealt with in a seamless and very compassionate manner. A big thank you to A J Wakely for making a difficult time feel a bit easier for our family.

5 Steve Trott 28th Apr 2023

The care provided at such a difficult time was amazing. We can't thank Leah, Kate and all the team enough for all they have done , they made a sad time alot easier and the funeral they helped us create encompassed everything we could wish for to remember this very special family member. Thank you all so very much.

5 Paul Rodgers 28th Apr 2023

Helpful, friendly and kind

5 Russell Coles 28th Apr 2023

From the initial call right through to the after care, every step of the process has been exemplary. Leah, Kate and the team have gone out of their way to be helpful and accommodating and every step of the process was clearly explained. This is the first time I've had to arrange a funeral, so I didn't know what I was doing to start with. They guided me through the process and explained everything. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Excellent from start to finish.

5 Hilary Lloyd 28th Apr 2023

Excellent, the personal touch that makes everything thing seem a little better.

5 Helen Izzard 12th Apr 2023

We are a large family, spread across the world, and Leah and her lovely team at A J Wakely & Sons Ltd managed our 100 year old father’s farewell with incredible sympathy and professionalism.  Nothing was too much trouble, including setting up a sound system in the church for a sister to record her tribute to Dad from New Zealand.  Our father was a retired priest and before he died he asked for Wakely’s to manage all his arrangements as he had worked with the family for a number of years when vicar of Ilminster.  Leah and her team helped to make the very sad occasion into a rather wonderful and special farewell for Dad, thank you.
