I have no hesitation in recommending Leah and her team at A J Wakely (Ilminster). She guided us through a difficult time with her calm and professional manner. When we had any questions they were very quick to reply. The service was conducted exactly the way we wanted and her reassurance on the day of the funeral was just what we needed. Thank you.

Leah and the team were so supportive at such a painful time. Nothing was too much trouble. They took care of all arrangements, offered guidance where appropriate and were happy to accommodate personal requests to make the service a celebration of Brian's life.

Leah and Simon Wakely showed extreme kindness and treated us as friends more than clients. Although our Mum, Betty, organised her funeral, her wishes by Wakely's were carried out to the letter. The funeral service where she was brought up, a small village Hambridge, was perfect and Mum would have been pleased how the service went. My sister Jillian and I would recommend Wakely's to anyone.
